Try stopping in a bar after 2AM in PA and demand a beer! Same thing.

He's baaaaaak-custom Mossberg 500 with rail and extended magazine. He must have gotten a few extra $$$$ from momma for Christmas and can't wait to...

smoking357 is not a trapshooter. Best to ignore.

Lots of new math present with these numbers plucked from the sky.

Of course it's Paul.

AIM targets are all registered with the ATA. That includes singles, handicap and doubles.

Please tell all of us how you know the targets were landing at the 47 yd. mark-especially since most fields rely on a radar gun to determine...

It may be 29" long but not 29" from the sky screens.

Current ATA rules call for a target to be between 49 and 51 yards from the trap at app. 43 mph. So these targets are scheduled to travel 4 yds....

Ya mean those slow loads used by the locals in protection shoots loaded with ++++++ grs. of Longshot-no thanks. Now about that last fantasy-another...

I don't remember Frank shooting more than 3 dram 1 1/8 oz. loads in those old Remington green shells from the 27.

As did Frank Little.

Ya had to be at the meeting-I wasn't invited, but I know who was.

Ya might want to ask Rachel Hopkins that same question!

Ya mean Ray can read?

If two good "bunker boys" show up the rest are toast. They break straights with 7/8 oz. loads on much wider faster targets.

Maybe it's time for an apology for denigrating the official records of one of the finest Trapshooters and individuals ever to fire at a target. If...

Maybe you should get a few facts straight. Frank never shot over voice pullers when the biggest drawback from great back yardage scores were lousy...

Let's see. For example,the late, great Frank Little broke a 99+ Singles average and a low to mid-90's handicap average nearly every year from 1970...

Let's just make Remington 870's, 1100's Model 12's Belgian Brownings, Winchester 101's, no more voice pullers (hand pulling only) mandatory and watch...

The old farts just got older. the kids never hung around much when daddy stopped paying the freight and if there's not a dime in option money anymore...

I think you should ask your wife.

Duh, put the targets back in the 3-hole and Harlan will be a loser. Another fantasy.

I've had customers who've been divorced for 10 years and the PFA was supposedly dropped at the settlement. It still remains on his record and he is...

As my lawyer once said, "if a woman asks for a PFA 21 times out of 22 it'll be granted"-right or wrong.

I seem to have missed that too.

Sounds like Smithy's been living in a cardboard box at various locations.

If harder targets were the answer to the ATA's problems then Bunker Trap would be expanding by leaps and bounds. Most sit empty. Some of us still...

"or what about bunker shooting" - empty parking lot.

Check this out!

In 1924 we had a real "puller". You know, the one that physically cocked the target by hand. Targets were set at whatever yardage or angle was...

My high score in Skeet was 73/75 with a .410. I find it hard to stay focused in skeet far more than trap. I suppose I get bored easily.

Doc, many claim the Satellite Grands are the reason why smaller clubs are dropping ATA shoots. So you might say more clubs dropping holding Satellite...

I propose we give Doc a badge with "Official ATA Target Police" in bold letters. He'd have unlimited access to all traps throwing registered targets....

And to think of others were weren't capable of carrying Billy's shellbag but still enshrined in the HOF. The Pete Rose of Trapshooting.

Doc, I see you conveniently forgot to remember those Winchester Handicap Trap loads from many years ago-the black ones that punished targets and...

I doubt most good shooters miss by feet. Good shooters make it a habit of putting the load on the target under all circumstances. Big Leo was a...

I shot my highest ATA Singles average 98.28 with a full choke in a K-80. Been shooting IM ever since but never matched that year. I usually suggest...

Believe it or not most of the men at the top of the ATA food chain are as old as you and me or even older. So at what age group should we really...

I see you fail to remember only the lesser specimen shooters were affected by 3-hole targets while the informed hotshots shot mostly straightaways or...

There's a huge difference between shooting trap in 1981 and 2018. Kay can now call "PULL" from the 27 yd. line and actually get a target on time....

Roger, where's the last place you shot registered 8'-3-hole targets? I haven't seen 'em in PA, FL, NJ or NY or OH.

Just the facts FG, just the facts.

No way varying height traphouses can throw an identical looking target. Trap "A" will allow a bit more profile while trap "B" targets will appear...

Nicely done and not too difficult to understand-for some of us.

Maybe some refuse to believe this little book even exists.

The official ATA rules book. I'm staring at it right now. Page 46 and 47.

A properly set target begins at 43 mph, a straightaway on post 3 from a locked trap and an elevation between 8 and 10 ft at 10 yds. from the...

Ya better make sure existing traphouses can accept much wider angles!

Looks like I made the wall of fame!
