Why I don’t miss the ATA

For those of you that have a little trouble with math. Grab your Walmart calculator and figure out the total won. On a 10 cent denomination, $2.50 bet, actually, the last bet on this machine.



PS: Shamus, the machines at that carousel behind the Buffalo machines you were playing. After playing Friday, Saturday and Sunday we were up $2800.00 so we decided to go back Tuesday with $170.00 in free play. Used the wager saver and it landed the bonus to start.

 

That the best you could do.

 

Thanks
Actually it wasn’t the best for the day. I hit another one for $1,140.00 and a Fire Link for $800.00
Then we left.

For the folks that don’t get it. He asked me that because he has one jackpot a little under that and one over that himself.

 

I don’t miss the ATA because it’s for the elite wealthy shooters, and is slowly dwindling down be cause most of the shooters were blue collar middle class that are being priced out of the sport. And younger shooters with a mortgage and family can’t afford ATA shoots and just shoot practice and league shoots for a lot less and just have a good time. You need younger shooters to keep the sport going.

 

A few more reasons. All from yesterday, 6/14/25

 

This year at the PA state shoot I had do desire to shoot. I don't enjoy ATA much anymore. I'm in penalty A class for singles but shoot low A class scores and when you need a 99 or better to
Win I don't find it fun anymore. I enjoy talking to friends and other shooters
And helping coach a youth team and whatch them shoot at the PSSA events. My wife and daughter love
The camper at the PSSA so I said if I have to shoot ther to keep the camper I need a new gun!

 

protecters and oakleys cheap and fun with no commitment always !!!!!!

 

All on 6/28/25

 

BTW, that first picture? That was $11,777.30

 

Gotta love those same six numbers

 

Those six number plus one more

 

And I thought trapshooting was expensive...

 

I miss the Labor Day pigeon shoot since both Hegins and Valley View are no more.
But this is almost as much fun.

 

i would think its the same outcome.
some win, some lose.
mostly lose?

 

And some win a lot more than they lose.
