Heading for the Classic tomorrow. Will try to take better pictures this time around. Maybe for once this year the place will have better weather....
Ha...must be the MN version.
Big shoots without ATA card. OH and PA have many. Stroudsburg in PA has a shoot before Easter that has around 500 shooters. (not exactly sure...
$45K money and prizes is almost like the old days!
One of my favorite clubs here. Once a mecca for registered shooting. They still have the shooters but they aren't interested in registered...
No harvesting until the next legislative session or if opened again. May be wise to put in a winter wheat crop by Sept. 1.
The IDNR could care less about the leases. All the sites are leased by the ATA whether they are vacant on not. The ATA eats that bill. We will...
Romie/Monty....please stop!!!!! I am laughing so hard I am going to bust a gut muscle. Is that all we have going to Sparta? 2500 You are talking...
Romie Get a history class. The statement by Clinton..."Its the Economy Stupid," is in reference to the bad economy under Bush. Great years for...
Romie...great question. My favorite! The Great Depression had a huge Grand. Maybe you remember the gas lines of the seventies. Vandalia was...
I would like some of that action. $50?
I suppose it is a matter of what your experiences are. If you are from a state that only has 22 shooters that shot 1000 hdcp targets then the shoot...
Then the moment the complex is closed the HOF lease / contract has been breached?
The Sportsmans Den at the Cardinal Classic says they will be well stocked with powder this week. They will have lots of Clay Dot, Green Dot, and Red...
Sportmans Den will have plenty of Green Dot, Red Dot and Clay Dot at the Cardinal Classic. They will be open Tuesday morning.
Tucson has warm summer breezes.
The above statistics and yet those few shooters as a group have as much voting power as all of PA. The system is a joke.
El Paso---yes the CC was throwing registered birds before Sparta. Not that is matters....
The Cardinal Center was throwing registered targets before Sparta. Old news.
Chilon The ATA took steps to limit attendance at Vandalia after that. Doesn't seem too smart does it? Sparta was boycotted by Ohio and many in PA...
Great job Zoltan. You throw a super party! :):):)
Yeah....you are right Monty. At least you admit it. You don't have a clue what you are talking about.
As per H1N1 report in the meeting. Only 25% of the handicap shoots have 25 shooters. We have things going in a "fantastic direction"....Lynn...
CHILON You thinking they will have about 4,000 in the GAH? That would be a fantastic direction....looking back that was an old standard. Looking...
El Paso You are missing the point of the post. It is comparing Lynn Gipson's saying that we are going in a fantastic direction to the numbers we...
AZCO Ohioans are not jumping up and down to get what is not grand anymore. Yet you post the silliest thing I have seen you post. Again dismissing...
El Paso Lynn Gipson described the success of Sparta and it's location by saying" We are trying to compare apples to apples and quantify Lynn's...
AZCO Who has been in the ATA 30 years you refer to? When were there 50,000 members in Ohio? Previously you stated we did not need the membership...
Rommie Please post how many were in the restaurant and whether you think there were as many as were at the Bud tent at Vandalia. Was it in...
Would you say it was a productive as the meetings in which you were instrumental in taking the sport our of trapshooting? That lead to you being...
AZCO You posted: Please tell us how the 40,000 members that left the organization felt about those issues. What polling data did you use? Did...
Leonidas Where is that answered? And how do I gain something if the ATA fails? Please post anything you have on the subject that is factual about...
What do I have to gain Leonidas? Do you have the answers? Please post.
Attention attorneys out there or those with more knowledge about leases. When the state of Illinois closes Sparta will they have broken the lease...
The Bud tent was full at Vandalia regardless of which day it was. It was packed for preliminary days even for the state shoot. It was packed not...
If Sparta is closed has the State of Illinois stopped the lease agreements for the HOF and the ATA? If so does there have to be a new lease drawn up?
Since when does a sport with responsible educated affluent members need to rely on the corruption of Chicago politics to survive? Not at the...
AZCO On occasion I enjoy your posts. Even the goofy stuff. Then you said this: Ohio is 4th in attendance at Sparta. Illinois boycotts Sparta....
Who is complaining? AZCO, you brought it up complaining you are losing your grand. There is advice above. Build your own venue. My area has 4...
AZCO You forget....OH PA and the local states got over it quick. They built their own venue. How quick did they get over it? They were throwing...
The big suckers were the taxpayers in the State of Illinois. They subsidized shooting for millionaires with increased debt. The membership paid...
You did not tell us about the State shoot you say you represent but boycotted. 227 entries right? Better chance of me going there than you?
No...I am sure I do not. And now the story goes back to anther person in the family had health issues. Too bad you cant erase those posts? If...
AZCO This is your subject and you did not answer. Are your ideas used there?
You did not answer what states you are representing or your new ideas. What states again are you representing. Does CO know?
I know better AZCO as previously you told me it because you had health issues and one time because a family member had health issues and once when...
They mean a lot at the OH State Shoot, the Cardinal Classic and the Buckeye. AZCO...I am shocked you care about numbers as you recently implied...
What are those ideas AZCO? Your only idea I have seen so far was to dismiss the 20,000 shooters that just left the sport as being "uncommitted...
AZCO Still waiting for any of those ways or suggestions you have had to help the sport......so far zero. I can help you. Thus far you have made it...
AZCO You are the one carrying the ATA bible. So is there a section where it states you are not permitted to criticize your leaders in the ATA?...
