If you want to quickly lose a good paying job by searching dark, hidden corners the ATA hierarchy decided should not be visited just get hired for...
I forgot to mention. They called the local course first and was told to expect at least an hr. to get on. They declined and drove nearly 1 hr.to...
A few of the local kids (38 yo's) stopped in yesterday. It seems they needed to borrow a gun because he, his wife and cousin wanted to go out...
Please don't question the "cash cow". Dr. Rively (the former ED) made that mistake just once.
Come, come now. I was nice enough to supply the wife with a Suhl Scroll K-80 priced in excess of $20,000 while Romie travels the MS swamps with his...
Poor Romies math skills are also suspect. I didn't know a 97/94/96/99/97/96/98 equals a 74% average. As the DI said in Full Metal Jacket "you are...
If you can't beat 'em-join 'em!
PSSA has the finest, best looking female scorekeepers. No other venue can compete 'cause we obviously don't overfeed 'em.
Me too!
Boy, did Dr. Rively screw up. That'll be a whole lot of shooting glasses!
They were busy breaking low 90's scores at their local shoots hoping to get enough shooters to qualify for a 1/2 yd. punch!
Sure, and one lady All-American was classified "D" class Singles at the Southern Grand two years ago!
The trend has been down for years and will continue. Trinket shooting replaced cash prizes and expensive trinkets get stale fast. PA shooters care...
Pressure on both those loads is within a few 100 PSI.
Ice, Advil, stretching exercises and Dr. Scholls. Enjoy, you're among many!
Maybe the bigger question is why the books have been consistently wrong about 700-X performance over many years. Could it be they neglect to chrono...
Yes Doug, I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of 700-x performance. It always was hot stuff and my Sir Neil clones with their chronographs...
Upping the charge to 16.5 grs. of E3 and checking the results. Since I'm not currently shooting my K-80 my squadmates won't mind my occasional double...
Instead of breaking out my trusty chronograph I also believe the felt recoil was less with load #2 also. I can also say heavier loads (Federal Gold...
Interesting finding on my part last night. I'm currently shooting a SX-1 (don't ask why). My favorite load is 16.5 grs of 700-x, FIG 8 wad and a...
Check out this fabulous trap load sale at Shydas Outdoor Center in Lebanon PA. Unbelievable prices. Looks like things are looking up for trapshooters.
Yes, and recently completely rebuilt by Giacomo!
Not today.
Just in is this very nice Perazzi TM1 with a 34" factory CT barrel and release trigger. Adjustable comb and butt plate. Priced to sell at $1,999...
Just in is this gorgeous Browning Citori XT Golden Clays unsingle trap combo in the left hand version. Barrel lengths are 34" x 32". Has Allem...
Well Butch, I see you must be with the in crowd at PSSA and never have to shoot on banks 5,6,7,10,11 or 12. Not all of us are so special. I'd say the...
Lehigh Valley Sporting Clays threw over 6,000,000 targets last year.
That's because they shoot Sporting Clays.
Just try finding more than a very few that were ATA All-Americans in the 90's that still shoot or are returning to Trapshooting. I'll betcha many...
Yup!
Statistically, not very likely.

SOLD!
Pocono Slate Belt in Bangor PA-the place of a near 3-hole target and excellent attendance.
Absolutely correct. The US Open is a joke compared to the Buckeye Classic. Heck, even the lowly NJ State Shoot looked good in comparison. As they...
Listen to iceman!
Message returned.
Got one! Thanks to all who tried to help.
Make that nine k-80's. My memory was refreshed by a fellow shooter yesterday.
I I see you realize Trap has become primarily a social event-good for you. The "social event" shooters took over ATA management many years ago much...
Unfortunately we were all young once too. Yes, I shot plenty of targets at PA in the 70's when a shuttle buggy transported us to the lower traps. It...
#1 outcome-the host club will lose money.
Looking for a nice spare pull trigger. Stage 1 preferred. PM with what you have and price!
Nope, I didn't even hear about that one yet. These are only local.
Here's a nice clean Winchester SX-1 bolt assembly for sale. Always nice to have a spare. $99 delivered. Bolt handle not included.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Just in is this as new Beretta DT 10 Selective Trigger assembly. Looks unused and probably is. $499 delivered.
Reloaded Remington Gun Clubs. Basewads were not an issue!
Wow Roger. The first one I witnessed was in 1965-one of those Winchester Model 50's with the fiberglass barrel. Since then two BT-99's, one 1100, one...
Haven't seen it yet but still relying on hearsay info. My understanding is the receiver and stock remained in his hands, then dropped, while the...
Not much if I can help it. Nonetheless, it's always something when shooters spend ten's of thousands of $$ thinking they can buy their way to success.
