US Open will be run in conjunction with the Fall Handicap @ Linn Creek, MO

Title says it all!!

Sept. 21 - 27 2020

 

The title should have had, AND NOBODY CARES, at the end of it.

Really, you post that and think people on here are going to travel ANOTHER 3 to 3-1/2 hours FARTHER away from the majority of Trap shooters?

Really, Put down the crack pipe.

 

Easy there Flyer. The locals in the Missouri Illinois area need that information. Although I doubt many from Illinois will travel for that. I am sure the forum is open to giving that information out.

 

Gee....is that founding member Leonidas posting? Did you shoot the grand this week? Are you driving over to the CC to take a shot at the $10k added money?

Thanks for posting. Lol

 

You're right. For all our members in the Linn Creek area, good luck at the shoot.

For leonidas? Still put down the crack pipe.

 

LOL, the whole ata,sparta, cancel shoots, rent, pay anyhow, screw the vendors is one big S^*T Show. And the newbie shooters like leonidas don't know any better.

 

Well Thomas, I see you haven't changed any.

Just posting information, nothing more, nothing less.

Just Joe, I have no idea on the monies.

Family Guy, no to the Grand and the CC is on my bucket list in the near future.

newbie shooter?

My averages are higher than yours was while you were shooting. Easy information to look up.

 

Leonidas, you're damned if you do, damned if you don't with flyers. Only way you could get by him would be screaming Vandalia forever! ATA never!!

 

Well Well Well, looks like leonidas has a fan. Be careful Dustin on who you pick to hitch your wagon to.
Go back and search some of this guys older posts. That Cardinal with a line through it should give you a clue.

I still see your first post and the reply from me has your panties in a bunch.

"Only way you could get by him would be screaming Vandalia forever! ATA never!!"

That statement would have been closer to the truth if you would have said this,

"Only way you could get by him would be screaming Vandalia forever! sparta never!!"

Again, research on your part would have shown you that the "sparta never" part was what the MEMBERSHIP TOLD THE ata. They rejected that place and then, bingo, it was a done deal. Now they have to live with it. Not shooting the "grand" there are they? Owned by the state of ILLnews. The state made them move to MO.

leonidas will never "get by me" as you say and he knows it.

Now, for the Cardinal hater, lol.

When I shot they were 3 hole targets. Think that doesn't make a difference? How could I not shoot for YEARS, get talked into rejoining, go to a registered shoot and break a 99. BTW, I lolly gagged the last one for that 99 so it wasn't a "hard" target. As you say, I'm not that good. Someone can lay off for more than 10 years, go out and break a 99? Yeah, same targets. DUH!

And averages on 16's, mine wasn't THAT bad( 96+ on thousands of targets per year) considering the places we shot in SW PA, were not that important. It was caps that mattered. The smaller target and the pin inside the box were from Federal for shooting their shells. You can figure out, I hope, where the silverware is from. Get back to me when you can post a picture of yourself in
T & F.

Bottom picture, me in the middle. BTW, first year there and that Prelim Caps had 3,259 shooters and a 97 paid for the week and a new TM1.

Yeah, you're a Newbie!

 

Flyers,
There comes a time in every mans life when he is better off talking to the toaster, after careful reading and follow up I think now would be the time because those two have no idea what they are talking about ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

 

I just wanted dustin to know that following the CC hater (see Cardinal with slash) was not a very bright idea.

Some posts from the guy that thinks he is better then me.
"I shoot 1145 fps for both handicap and 16's. Hold points are also the same."

In a past post talking about the difference between AA Super Handi Caps and Nitro 27's
"I have shot both shells you mentioned. I prefer the Remington because of the lower perceived recoil."

HUH?

 

Dustin......You know you got the guy hooked when he keeps posting and even researches your posts. He is so easy it gets to the point is isn't fun anymore.

I'm comfortable enough with myself I don't have to brag to the world on my accomplishments. But I guess to each his own. lol

 

You can spin it anyway you want. You said your "average" was better than mine. I showed you that averages didn't matter. I never posted any of those pictures until YOU wanted to try and impress some new guy with what you thought was going to make me look bad.

You didn't have a way to check the trophy winners at the Grand did ya? Dumb move. How about trophy winners at state shoots? Or state zone shoots? or the Tri State shoots? Damn, if you could have known that you wouldn't have posted that stupid crap that your average was beter than mine would ya. Tough world leonidas, tougher when you are stupid.

"You know you got the guy hooked when he keeps posting and even researches your posts"

Post are easy. How long did it take for you to find my name? Jesus, talk about getting to someone. You must have really wanted to show dustin how smart you were. Checked with one of the stooges didn't ya? Hell, you might even BE one of those booger eating morons. News flash, it didn't work, you don't look smarter. NOW, you run off using that old, "I trolled him" BS. Save it for someone that doesn't know any better. You have nothing to do but run away.

"I'm comfortable enough with myself I don't have to brag to the world on my accomplishments."
Translation? I can't shoot for sh*t but I'm good with that and I don't have any accomplishments.

Remember, it ain't bragging if you can do it.

You started shooting WAY BACK (lol) in 1992. Did you ever win ANYTHING? Here's your chance to post something and it won't be "bragging".

I just taught you a valuble lesson son. No need to thank me. A short statement that you really don't know much about Trap shooting will suffice.

Here's the deal leonidas, I remember or can look up, all your wiseass posts taking a shot at this site or the people that started it and use it so tread lightly.

Unless of course you want to look stupid again in front of your new fan.

 

Leonidas: Yes flyers is an easy one to hook.

Flyers :I'm no ones fan.

 

Flyer: Easy buddy, you've done got your panties all bunched up.

WOW!! HAHA

P.S. I wouldn't brag on those averages...

 

also flyers, as far as knowing names, the names like joe and tom and someone else are mentioned all the time across the street. usually has a pre-fix in front of the name like "crazy" or "tin foil hat wearing" so & so....just an fyi

 

So, you really are on that old worn out site more than here. My name was never mentioned on THIS site so you had to hear it over there. Don't let them know you slither by here, they won't like you anymore.

Edit: HOLY CRAP, I just looked up YOUR records. Please tell me the ata screwed up and those 200 LIFETIME targets that you shot just this year is a mistake. Tell me you speak from years of experience and they just haven't recorded your other 25,000+ targets.

 

In a bunch ? Not in the least. That might happen if I couldn't show the CC hater how much he was wrong but that part is easy.

P.S. Do you see anything in those pictures that has to do with averages? I assume that when you started shooting back in 1976 your 16's average was better? Or are you one of those guys that has only shot the easier targets?

Edit: After looking up the 200 lifetime targets expert I tried your name. Funny, I don't see any targets for you. ZERO

 

I got no dog in this fight. Just wanted to tell Flyers that his trophy and article are damn nice! I’m guessing all that hair poking out from under that hat is a bit shorter and a different color these days.

 

Great trophy. I got a tumbler at the Ohio State Shoot this yr.

 

Thank you Don. Coming from someone that has what? nearly 250,000 combined targets? That is a nice complement and I appreciate it.

As for the hair? HA, you spotted that huh? I didn't know they were going to take pictures and I look like one of those roosters with the side feathers on it's head. Actually the color hasn't changed that much, a little grey around the edges but not too bad. lol

And for leonidas, dustin and botts, it was the 24.5 yard line. You probably will never get back there but if you do you can stand on the 24. FYI

 

No! The title is about worthless. Please explain how two shoots can run in conjunction at the same venue. Is the east end one shoot and the west end another. How are points to be handed out? Are the shoot attendances supposed to be so small they can be held at the same time?

 

I bet the ATA is doing this so they can charge 2 ATA daily fees.

 

All these years I thought the guy in the middle was EG Adams. The Rappa scrapple guy.

 

I'm not sure even with all of the program (tech) advances how the two can be separated if they are shot on the same days, if the days are separated and it goes concurrent it can be done and make sense or else if you win one you will win both events on the same day ... It will be interesting to see how they pull this one off ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

 

Now there's a character that brings back old memories, 'ol EG. A pretty good shooter who let perceived and real cheating within our sport, get to him to the point that he quit shooting. May he R.I.P.

​

 

Someday we should get HistoryBuff, Berlet and Dysinger together in front of the fireplace in Brad’s clubhouse. Set up the video camera and get the three of them started on E.G. stories. I never met E.G. but I’ve heard some great stories about him!

 

EG was a good friend of mine and there are some good stories that can be told on him. Very nice person and he is still missed and talked about at our local clubs in MD and DE

 

Many of us miss EG Adams Bob. You man not know me as HistoryBuff, but you know me. I shot for years with Eddie Taylor. I just called Bob Downs not long ago.

​

 

I miss EG everyday. I'd love to talk to him about what is going on with BLM and the ATA.
