I think the ATA did consider just using the East end of the Vandalia property and thought it might just cause more attendance than moving to another...

Mr. Kennedy, We all make mistakes occasionally, but its all in how we recover. They should have made it right, acknowledging you as the handicap...

Ed, It doesn't keep me up at night but I would be interested in knowing why the attendance number is relatively small. Illinois was once one of the...

The rumor that Ohio did nothing to keep the ATA and Grand American tournament has been spread for years and many people just simply chose to believe...

I assume you're kidding. The A.T.A. started looking for a new location back in the 1970s around the same time Mr. Fineup offered to donate his Linn...

Our gal Punkin didn't do too bad in the shooting game for a right hand, left-eye dominant, low gun hold shooter who with all her accomplishments,...

Doc, As per the IDNR-ATA Lease, the ATA leases the entire campground for the 15 days of the Grand. I doubt there are locals and nearby families or...

You were in the position to know what it paid. [ATTACH]

Thank you BRAD DYSINGER for asking a historical question. Below are some thoughts from the late Frank Little of which I generally share his opinion....

This is good advice and you will be afforded the opportunity to hear the pros and cons from those with experience. Often times we hear comments and...

While I have not been to other Zone meetings, I have been to my own Zone meetings in the past, even acting as secretary at one due to the absence of...

According to the ATA's shoot reports they show 1436 entries. Of that number 13 did not shoot and 38 have lines through their names which used to...

I went back in the ATA minutes to verify Merlo's claim for myself. While it is easy to assume that Mr. Winston's support for Iowa Delegate Thyer's...

I see no need for an apology or feel embarrassed Ed. We all generalize sometimes. I just did not want others who have not been in the sport very...

To be clear, the A.T.A. Board of Directors accepted the Dayton proposition in 1924 because - "Dayton fulfills all these requirements . . ." I offer...

Not one will raise a question regarding 2012 Pull LLC and the involvement of a sitting member of the Executive Committee. None cared when it happened...

No "Flame away" by me Ed. I'm also not whining or living in the past. I was merely commenting on the first post and providing documentation so that...

No graph needed. Mr. Winston merely stated the results from ATA's own shooter survey. I guess our leaders just didn't believe what their membership...

Nope, several still have some involvement. What I've always had trouble understanding is that it appears that nobody . . . not the ATA President . ....

Thanks Phil, I truly miss our chats at the GAH. Thanks White Flyer for all your support to the shooting sports.

[ATTACH] Well, some of the best old gunmakers thought gun fit important enough to devise an adjustable stock they would attach to a long gun to...

An old document from my files shows 1961 as the year having the most production. I'm hopeful this may help others wondering what year their Model 12...

I agree with wpt that being critical of some of the ATA's decisions is not wishing for the demise of our governing body. The issues you mentioned...

It is likely true that the ATA Articles of Incorporation never provided any rights for members in making decisions (control) for the organization....

Both live bird and clay target shooting started with low gun. And when the first governing body for trapshooting, the National Gun Association,...

DLS, I will do my best to answer your questions to the best of my limited knowledge. I too had heard, some years back, that the late ATA General...

I don't know when N1H1 knew or even if N1H1 knew it at all. I assumed N1H1 likely had first hand knowledge due to the many years of support and...

My response was not directed to you N1H1. I would have assumed that you were aware early on that the Trapshooting Hall of Fame, Inc. was using...

So there can be no confusion on who owns the Trapshooting Hall of Fame, Inc. museum and offices, read the lease: [ATTACH]

The number of entries are often at the top of the over all score tallies. But one could count them if they wish. It doesn't matter to me. I was...

On another thread it was rumored that "650 pre-squaded last year for the U.S. Open....with 950 pre-squaded so far this year.....but, again, this is...

Bat, I appreciate the fairness of your above comment.

If I read the original post correctly, a fellow shooter did not believe that Trapshooting Hall of Fame & Museum was constructed for the State of...

Can't disagree with your view WPT. Also can't blame White Flyer for attempting to stay in business. Admittedly, I know nothing about Euro targets...

I'm a big fan of White Flyer Targets and the company has been supporting clay target shooting in many ways over the years. I know some of them...

Doc, I've been waiting for you to tell us what you're looking for. Now I know you would like Hi Averages. Singles Dirk Meckstroth .9917 on...

Again, please explain how the WSRC gets better every year, for those who are unaware? HB

In my view, ATA officials attempted to accommodate the increase in attendance each year despite the fact that they only owned 62 acres of land....

No Dave, I do not and there were no crowd pictures in the Sportsmen's Review report that I saw, only of individual and groups of shooters as well as...

Great job rookieshooter. I admire your determination and wish you the best with your new shooting style. You should be very proud of your...

Mr. Berlet, I'm amazed that you bring up the grandstand collapse. I didn't think anyone knew or remembered about it. It actually happened on August...

The Atlantic Indians hold their shoot at the Pocono Mountains, in PA. They celebrate their 100th Anniversary this year. The Tuscarawas held their...

Larry C. I think we all appreciate your post since it provides us with a better understanding of what appears to be a major factor involved in ATA...

The ingenuity of trapshooters never ceases to amaze me. Over the decades there have been several trapshooters with varying disabilities who have...

Doc, I feel that way too but I didn't hold that view in my early days of shooting. It only came after reading the history of the sport and observing...

I recall watching Frank Little many times prior to his passing. Bad pulls may have bothered him but he didn't let it affect his shooting much. Boy,...

Bat, I don't believe either of us can prove our statements and you may be right that "the vast majority of shooters were used to 2 hole targets,"...

For those interested, here is a bit of history that I am mostly in agreement with. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Enjoy Our History !

The motion and vote did allow for Friday and Saturday's Grand American targets to be set using the 2-hole and the effective date for all other...
