The "Big Shoot" is around the corner! Yahoo! 2019 Grand American Trapshoot

Less than a month and it will be that time again. The big shoot. THE GRAND! Who's going?

 

You have got to be kidding with this cast right?
40 Lb braided with a mono leader?

Go back and ask that garage gunsmith how to do it. Not that he is that good at it, I busted him the first time he posted, but he is still better at it than you are.

And you better come back every week or so to remind people. From the pathetic numbers that place draws it sure looks like a few thousand forgot about it.

 

I copied the below from the other thread in case you missed it or the duty watch didn't tell you.

From one of sid's "wingmaster" pals when it was first announced that the SCTP was going to move to the Cardinal Center for a three year deal.

"I was one that did not want to go back to Ohio.

Was really hoping the SCTP would try to get back to Sparta and the WSRC.

Sure hate it that all those a$$holes on the dark site will be happy that the WSRC lost out!"

Hey sid? I thought you said sparta will do just fine without the SCTP. Your pal seems to think that the WSRC lost out. Make sure you tell him that he gets to hate it for a LOT LONGER now!

********************************
I know you are reading this sid, thinking, Man how does this guy do it? Every time I post something he comes back with something better. I should probably just quit trying to bait these guys. They are way too smart for me.

The guys on here aren't the only ones smarter than you sid. The 2 THOUSAND plus that quit shooting the GAH event since the move to that place in Illnews are also in that group.

 

Hey Flyersarbest be a little easy on Sid, now that Winston is gone. Laughs are hard to come by.

 

You're right, I should have just posted this
The GRAND! Who's going?

 

that's nice.

 

Winston who?

 

Sparta Sid can you do graphs?

 

Damn, that's second time I missed an opportunity.

I must be getting slow

 

I will be in the area that week so I will drop by. I may shoot for few days. If the motel issues are as bad as I hear I will only be there for a day. You definitely see me at the CC the following week for my big shoot, Cardinal Classic.

 

Why would I drive 1400 mi, each way to shoot . and 90 miles each day to commute, with stink-O restaurants--I'm not chasing AA points
A few years ago I sold some Beretta parts to a shooter from Wisconsin, he said he was going to Sparta
Called him asked how was the Grand, he said he shot 25 targets, the temp under his truck was 115, went back to his motel and drove back to Wisconsin--yes-he shot only 25 targets & split--just a thought, if Leo was closer to good medical care , he might still be alive--with a stroke there is a 30 minute window

Bad location--with the potential for horrible temps

 

Should have titled it

The BIG SHOOT is AROUND THE BEND

 

I heard some guys in Dayton are organizing a Greyhound Bus caravan. Anybody know where I can get a ticket?

 

You need a bus to go from Dayton to the CC?

Oh, you meant that place they shoot at in Illnews. You better check first to see if Greyhound knows where it is. From the pathetic number of shooters they are able to draw not that many people must know about it.

 

That is funny.

 

I am betting the GAH will be up 17%. You can’t win it if y’all don’t shoot it. $$$$

 

I'm only responding to this nonsense because the post has the word BETTING in it.

The 2018 "official" number was 2,050 entries in event 24, the GAH.

So just how much are you willing to lose betting the number will be 2,398.5? You can round it down to 2,398 if you like. I wouldn't want someone taking your money because 348 MORE shooters ACTUALLY SHOT the event but was still under your absurd 17% prediction.

 

I posted this once and it went away. The bus trip I'm organizing is to a Minnesota grave yard, I'll have free drinks but we won't be stopping for a bathroom break until we arrive.

 

Don't let your posse peak too early. You want them just gassed enough so they put more peee on the target than on their boots. If they get to giggling too much, tell them they'll have to hit it from the Ladies' Tees.

I'd be honored if one of the lads would dibble a few extra drops in my stead.

Respectfully,

The Village Idiot

 

I think Sparta Sid is pushing for more shooters in the GAH in hopes that more shooters will stay at his now infamous Sparta Motel. More dollars for the Hall of Fame building owned by Illanews
