Several years ago that rag doubled the number of shooters at the grand. It was this forum that caught them. They were forced to print a retraction. Now this.
It looks to me like the fee has not been removed. The notice on the ATA website just provides a clarification as to when and what for the fee will be charged. "If there is help needed for research for shooting accomplishments, there is a fee for the research." Seems to me Trap and Field will still now be charging for a service they have provided for free until now.
The Obits are free here. No charge. Certainly more exposure but I didnt give this forum tens of thousands of dollars.
