Merlos post from awhile ago stated 2 wagons were missing. Though he didn't know how many were there in the first place. There are 11 parked there now. The IDNR must have got them back. Or maybe never missing in the first place! I report even if I am an idiot. Merlo is out!
I've looked over all the posts about the trolleys and I have not found where merlo ever stated he didn't know how many were there in the first place." I did read where Merlo was in possession of the facts and official inventory reports showed 12 trolleys, while 8 were kindly reported by PaPa27 and photographs of 8 trolleys were provided by. Not only were some trolley's missing, as I commented on another thread, at one time, IDNR inventory records listed 20 Apache Model TW24 each having an individual serial number including damage and/or inoperative equipment. T Shot's comments and responses from members: T Shot, Members have taken time to provide factual information and said they are backed up with written documents. You've chosen to discount their reporting. Perhaps rather than tell us that we are wrong and suggest that trolley's were "never missing in the first place," you might consider submitting a query to the ATA, IDNR or even to the FOIA Officer. Then you will have your own documents and can prove just how untruthful we all have been . . . . or have the facts like some of us possess of which dispute all of your claims. You may even get the document listing 20 trolleys at the WSRC and that should answer several of your questions. Just a suggestion for you to consider. I can assure you it's not Merlo who has been wrong or out! HB
Historybuff, TShot is a babbler, I've rarely seen someone on this forum who is as clueless as he, she, it about Trap Shooting or the history of trap shooting. I would guess he, she, it is a snowflake self proclaimed expert. He, she, or it would make a great EC member someday. As much as it pains me to say so even Winston knows more about trap shooting than him, her, or it. Brad
Marlow first post Was 2 were missing. Someone counted 8 at US Open. That would make 10. HB said paperwork shows 20 were built. That makes 12 missing. We do not know how many were shipped from Ohio to Sprata or the number there in 2016. The FACT is there is 11 on site now..
We know exactly how many were given to the IDNR. The ATA and IDNR have it in writing. I report. You decide. Merlo out
They have misplaced a trolley every year? Or are we looking at this wrong? Every time we get a new EC member we lose a trolley.
