Sorry Roger, I'm sure most clubs are following target setting rules. The biggest problem is shooters continually demanding resets of perfectly LEGAL...
"distance has tightened up". So at one time it was 48-52 yds. and now it's 49-51 yds. So I suppose you believe the targets were made harder or...
I've got a reputation as a great trap setter. Surely you can set a good breakable target on most any field but some will always be better than...
I never said they couldn't be set properly-just not all the same. I can set a breakable target on most any trap but on varying height traphouses they...
OK Doc, I'm gonna lay this on you. Here in the East most trap clubs started with one or two traps. As business got better more traps were added....
All that's needs be done is create an increasingly difficult 16 yd. event. In PA we have a few 2-hole, 3-hole, 4-hole and 5-hole events for fun. It's...
SOLD pending receipt of funds.
Here's a beauty. This fine Silver Seitz has a 34" barrel, release trigger and fabulous wood. LOP as shown is 14.5". Priced to sell at $7,999...
For sale today is this gorgeous Browning Citori XS Skeet 20 GA with 30" ported barrels. Comes with a factory adjustable comb, the original box and...
Absolutely correct and I saw it way too often. The difference from the t-bar were often only inches. As a trapsetter I would not have been generous...
Yes Roger, I can certainly agree with you on that one. I've also seen the last squad ask for resets. This BS should end!
Roger, you've been at this game as long as me and you should remember cheating on angles began in the 70's. Heck, the premier trap readers and trap...
Sure did. We went from 3-hole to 2.5 hole and finally to 2 hole. Had to keep up with the Jones's you know.
Of course I've had a request for more spring. Since wind is never a constant adding spring could just as easily made the target illegal when the wind...
An 8ft. target was fine when everyone shot Model 12's, 870's and Old style BT-99's. Those were the days!
Yup, I set hundreds of Western traps by the book for many years. I also remember more than a few deadheads claim targets were short when looking at...
Doc, I hate to burst your balloon but without level ground most targets in our "old days" were set with a wink and nod. Heck, I've seen targets set...
Well Doc, if a target lands 49-51 yards from the trap over level ground in still air could it be "soft"? If that same target lands 45 yards from the...
Roger, please define "soft target".
The IM on my SX-1 barrel is .034. The FULL is .037 on the other. Big deal.
Heck of a man-warts and all. He is irreplaceable.
$6,500 and maybe a little higher.
I'd say he was arrested on his way home from out West after his accident. This happened a few weeks ago.
Great deal for a lucky someone.
Maybe the cop wasn't a bright and shining star and didn't know the difference between an in-line muzzleloader and a rifle. Not many of 'em are Mensa...
Now Rog, you're getting somewhere. The by-laws violation is small potatoes and was resolved to the AG's satisfaction. If someone actually knows taxes...
I'm gonna make a suggestion. Instead of worrying yourself to death over a lousy $15,000.00 gun I suggest you cast your net farther. Don't ask me how...
So, after that so-called special meeting and warning from the AG to amend the by-laws please tell all of us who got fined or who was prosecuted and...
Word on the streets today one of our friends and fellow fine trapshooter recently returned home from a hunting trip to IL. after a major incident. It...
Well, I'm over 70 and I've got a K-80 here somewhere although my SX-1 has become my go to gun. My wife shoots a Suhl grade K-80 and pretty good at...
I believe Neil received a Perazzi. I doubt the amount we charge (if any) Krieghoff for advertising has much effect on their local sales. So what's a...
They do in PA. Give 'em away free that is.
Gun Clubs were on sale last week at our local Dick's for $3.98. Yes, I bought 7 cases and probably should have bought more.
Anyone have any doubts Krieghoff gave the ATA a real special deal for the Presidential Presentation shotgun? Heck, they actually gave away a totally...
Some of you guys must still be shooting Remington 870's and Mossberg 500's. What's a lousy $15,000 for a gun when a large percentage of those SCTP...
The legal profession (courts) are reluctant to get involved in private matters within an organization. That's a fact you can take to the bank.
Like nearly club or organization. The days of volunteerism are over.
I'm also hoping we can agree to disagree. This site must not begin the degeneration to what the other site became. Let's just say by-laws are often...
There ya go Jeff!
It probably comes from life in the 60's when empty hulls were coveted. Some of us even resorted to baking wet paper shells in the oven in order to...
44 full tote boxes and 2 full 55 gal drums. Includes old style AA's, STS, old and new style Gold Medals, new style AA's, Federal papers, and some Gun...
It's not what you know but who you ----. You may fill in the blanks with whatever you deem appropriate. I don't believe Dave Schaeffer or Earl...
Ya mean like keeping his own score at a registered shoot and claiming hundreds of targets that couldn't be verified he shot. Want more?
It's the shooters responsibility to make sure he was properly classified. Let's say if he was handicapped at the 27 and the classifier wrongly put...
There have been instances where those K-80's were picked up right at Krieghoff International and properly transferred. So much for that issue.
Does this mean T. Dean (described as a useful idiot by one former EC member) won't get his gun? Such a shame!
The neat part of this site is we don't ban people for negativity or a mention of the mini-grand in Sparta.
You'll never get to the top of the food chain bucking the system.
Once upon a time they had great people. Unfortunately when they began exploring those hidden dark corners they were sent packing. Dr. Frank Rively's...
Good luck finding some. They're scarce.
