Andy, why is it that nothing is, "as it appears," with you? Did this person shoot a field grade 870 for their first 800 targets this year? I doubt...
Andy, the shooter (TD, I assume) had an average of 89 on 800 targets when they approached the handicap desk at the Southern Grand. Under the 6 Class...
Andy, rather than trying to be coy and getting everyone to guess who this shooter is, why don't you give us the name of this individual, who was...
Ok FG, three questions. 1- If the clubs did not adhere to the 3 hole target rule when it was mandated in the 90's, what makes you think that they...
Michael, I have absolutely no personal interest in the ATA's money. I, like all delegates, am not compensated for any expenses that I incur, by the...
Or maybe (mabee) they could kneel between their Corvette and some flowers and post small minded comments on ATS.com.
Hap, I still don't get it. If you put more spring on the WW traps, they threw the target faster and with more spin. Why can't you put more spring on...
Roger, I don't understand what it is about the target that a Pat trap throws, that is inferior. The arm seems to put sufficient spin on the target to...
I would suggest that if the wider hole 3 spacer is used, that a Pat trap would throw angles that are equally as wide as the old WW trap would throw....
Neil is correct, again. The main benefactors of the narrow targets are the average, to below average shooter- and that includes the 27 yard shooters...
That is my point Family Guy, I use 3 dram shells, and have been on 27 yards for 29 years (been reduced once for 600 targets). I used the old...
Family Guy, is there any one else on planet earth that that thinks that a point that results in a miss with 3 dram shells would achieve a different...
What big dollars Family Guy?
Family Guy, I see the 3 1/4dr shell issue has reared its ugly head again. Tell me, will one of those fast shells break a target that was not...
Fargo 2, I disagree. With all the advancements in gun adjustability and instructional clinics etc., today's shooters have a very high skill level...
User 1, I suppose the chance of that happening (you are absolutely right, it could) is about the same as the pellets of a slower shell taking the...
Fg, you seem to have lots of time to be critical of anything to do with the ATA, why don't you give us a second or two to explain what the sale of...
Fg, on the contrary, my observation was that being a life member was being touted a a big deal, when it really isn't. Do you know something that I...
Doc, why are you offended when I point out that you have only paid shooting fees for 40 years, as a life member? Really, I am in the same boat, we...
Brad, you are correct when you say that there were 100,000 members, but those members were not all participants like I pointed out, they included...
Brad, with all due respect, it is a bit of a mouthful for you to be complaining about whiners. I have not been to the places or done the shooting...
At the end of the day, all the talk of legal vs illegal, or 3dr vs 1250 fps is all just for the sake of arguing anyway. As far as I am concerned, if...
Andy, define perfect for me. I suppose in some peoples eyes, perfect is a place where everyone who steps to their handicap yardage would have an...
Well Bro, if you took a second to look up PITA rules, you would find that they also throw hole 2 targets to a distance of 48-51 yards (not 49-51...
Wishbone, you are correct, the Y code only indicates that the shooter was once on the 27 yard line. The singles average restrictions on reductions...
Ok User 1, how would such a thing happen?
I would say shells are checked about as often as they they were supplied to shooters that chronographed at 1390-1395 fps. In other words never.
You are right User 1, it does get stupid. It gets stupid when someone makes claims that, without corroborating facts (names and ATA numbers), are...
Hap, as to the fairness to our sport is concerned, I suppose that as long as everyone at a particular shoot was shooting 2 hole targets, it is fair...
Dr Longshot, rather than thinking, and making yourself look foolish, why don't you look it up? The rule currently, is 49-51 yards. I don't have...
User 1, using targets that were so hard that they didn't always break when they were hit, have no place in the game of trapshooting. A hit target,...
Brad, as a point of clarification, how much farther did the target go under yesterday's 48-52 yard rule than today's 49-51 yard rule? Don't tell me a...
No Family Guy, what is most appalling and certainly most difficult to reconcile is the fact that someone is dumb enough to believe this BS. Maybe,...
Family Guy, juicing shells.......within velocity limits, and payload limits, I wonder just how much these shells could be "juiced."
User 1, what I really don't like about sites like this is when, under the veil of anonymity, people make preposterous claims, and when asked for...
If I could be so bold to ask, User 1, give us some names of those on top, so we can address some of the allegations.
Andy, I assume that the individual that you are referring to is Harlan Campbell, that exchanged barrels until he found ones that suited him. I have...
Ebsurveyor, we are still in the dark as to who manufactured that ammunition. You have disclosed that it was the " in crowd" that had access to them...
Nudie, I agree, we are getting ahead of ourselves when we are discussing shooting from the 30 yard line. Someone has to get there first. I also agree...
No nudie, it is not a matter of everyone shooting them at 60-70 yards and not everyone breaking them, so they shouldn't be allowed. It is a matter of...
Nudie, those 60-70 yard crossers amount to less than 10% of the total targets in a competition and everyone shoots at that distance, not a select few...
User 1, I am sure that when they introduced the 27 yard line "all those years ago," that they were using ammo that produced patterns that had way...
Andy, I hope that you are brighter than you are letting on. The reason that there are more 100s shot at 27 yards is because that is where the best...
Jhunts, in your interpretation of planned vs random bad luck, you state that you feel that until a person is moved back to the 27 yard line, each...
Neil, it is interesting to hear from someone who has actually "been there and done that," when it comes to hole 2 vs hole 3 targets. If targets that...
Doc, please don't let Harlan Campbell in on your little discovery. He has averaged 95+ on the last 80,000 handicap targets with those inferior...
Thanks, Kenny and Neil for the correction. After looking at some of the posts on here that suggest that the EC and President tell the delegates how...
Doc, on the contrary, I have been around trapshooting since 1976 and have seen the good times as well as the decline in shooters in recent years. I...
Separate names with a comma.
