Sparta IL must be quite a destination point for worldwide travelers.
A recent article (Oct. 7) in the newspaper Southern Illinois quoted our fearless leader, Gypson, as saying the ATA currently has 60,000 worldwide...
Some of us notice how many former Presidents and EC members shoot far fewer targets after their terms expire. One can easily draw parallels here.
SOLD pending receipt of funds.
Price reduced-$1,199
Here's an unusual one. Up for sale is this extremely rare, maybe one of a kind, Perazzi MTX single barrel trap. Barrel length is 32" and includes 4...
Maybe we should also look how many of those short yardage winners were from KY?
Is that like having an event like 27 yd. handicap for all? It'll be just so exciting watching 80 yo's flail away at long yardage handicap targets who...
For sale is this nice PFS grip for a Ljutic Mono single. Delivered for $149. Stock bolts included.
Welcome aboard. Grow thick skin and ask questions. The information you get here is often priceless and not only the difference between #8 and 7.5...
No, we haven't been pouring more concrete for a hundred years. In fact, we haven't poured any in over 50 years. In those days it was real easy to...
Let's just say if I was the father of that excellent 13 yo shooter and I explained he was being punished by receiving those two yards for that 99 he...
So you're saying all yardage between 19 and 27 is earned (rewarded) but any after the 27 is a penalty? Since we try to avoid a penalty in football we...
Let's look at this way. Let's first decide if added yardage a penalty or a reward! At the Westy Hogan this year a 13 year old boy broke a 99 in the...
Yup, but they did catch a few cheaters.
I find it very difficult to understand how someone claims we're penalizing a shooter by having him shoot from the 30 yd. line. Afterall, the only way...
Yes, the wife battled very similar demons but maybe licked it early enough to continue performing. You should also realize Kate S. has the same...
I got an idea. Just mark off three yards at each station-hammer in stake and if you like invest in a line maker (like they use at ballfields). Then...
My advice is a personal request to the 14. It might help. Sorry-I had to.
According to the poster of many charts and graphs the 27 yd. line is about the max. current ammo will prove to be effective. Phil Kiner believes...
FYI, at least I have a family that's willing and able to participate in Trapshooting with me. Darn good at it too. Others, like you can only wish for...
OK, I'll finally admit it. I'm really Frank Little and I got my grand slam in 1968. I tried to keep it a secret. Ooops, I can't be Frank Little-he's...
So Brad, you're saying 51 yds. is too close. What do you recommend 55-60 or maybe just put in those old international springs and let 'em fly. troll...
"I believe most misses are caused by having to move to the target". The resident troll speaks profoundly.
Just so happens I knew Frank Little plenty. He also often stated he found the 27 yd. line his biggest challenge. You, on the other hand, professed to...
Now you're really confused. Not once did I profess to own a "grand slam" as did you. If I did as you say please point out the source of your info.
He must have confused himself with Randy Ross. It happens sometimes when you hit those golden years.
Shooting a 92 or 93 in Handicap seldom gets more than an honorable mention here in PA. Now in Mississippi!
Yup, 200 straights are common in Handicap. I get 'em all the time-in my dreams.
Haven't spent any real time at the 27 yd. line I see?
Some of us may have been present when the late great Frank Little shot off for the 16 yd, title many years ago in PA. Since the two main competitors...
Add 20 yds. of concrete you say? Next you'll suggest centerfire rifles since only they would be successful on the 47 yd. line. Rocket science at it's...
shooting coach, not much experience with release triggers I see. It's quite common for some designs to set with an action open. The bolt, slide or...
No.
If it does I'd bid $350. I can get a new pull trigger for less than $200. If it doesn't I'll return it for a refund.
Does it set with the bolt open?
Yup, that's a great deal and a splendid idea from the PA big shot managers. Keep 'em coming!
Many thanks.
Enough to pay for the weekend plus a few extra $$$ for some shot. Hit the HC lewy all by her lonesome. It doesn't happen often.
There is absolutely no reason to shoot a black and orange target against a complete tree background. They're perfect in an open sky. They're even...
I see you don't know Tammy. She likes cash much more that trinkets.
White Flyer targets were always painted "barn orange". Some of us still remember those old Remington fluorescent orange targets from many moons ago....
Yup, and 7 total trinkets. Stellar performance.
Son and I sat on the bench while his momma delivered the goods. Only one gun to clean made life much simpler. Hats off to momma Tammy for a splendid...
This thread started with the unfortunate situation where the Bartholow boys were denied a birth on the All-American team because they didn't have...
Lady 1 "D" Singles at the Southern Grand last year. Lady 1 "C" singles local state shoot. Based on averages. Spend your time looking up others!
The ATA All-American point system ranks below the late Jimmy Robinson's personal appointments. We now have so-called All-Americans classified in D...
Traps set in 2-3-4 and 5 hole. Challenging and fun too.
Actually Big Don's Silver Seitz has lowered him to a "B" average and he's considering going back to Krieghoff. Smart man.
Impossible to police.
