I'm glad and grateful that the Cardinal is able to accommodate the SCTP. I also hope that Illinois can get their act together sometime in the...
Jake posted the link to the SCTP. The next 2 posts thanked him. It appeared to me that those posters think Jake has an inside to the SCTP or SSSF....
Some of the other posted replies appeared to think the CC had something to do with it. I was just clarifying that it was nothing to do with the...
The Cardinal Center had nothing to do with this scholarship.
Wow! What's a windmill got to do with trapshooting? Think a windmill and a muddy pond will get the SCTP Nationals back in 2017.
What's a muddy pond and a gazebo got to do with trapshooting? Sure looks like they are spending a lot of money for a possible one time event!
My oldest son shot a 1100 Classic Trap for his entire SCTP and AIM career. Never had to replace anything except a couple of O rings. My younger son...
Remington 1100 Competition Synthetic. Lots of adjustability, adjustable comb, superb recoil reduction and affordable at right around $1100. In my...
I believe it says that the SSSF Nationals contract with the IDNR extends through 2017. They have agreed to suspend the contract for 2016 and will...
I believe the SCTP is under contract with the WSRC through 2017. Of course that doesn't mean crap if Illinois doesn't get a budget deal by then!
I went through the SCTP site. There are 311 teams listed in the 24 states west of the Mississippi. There are 504 teams listed in the 26 states east...
Not really. There are a lot of teams from west of the Mississippi including Alaska. I would guess it's probably pretty even though Illinois is...
Empty or unoccupied buildings are prone to some mold growth. Especially if the HVAC system has been shut down. Easily cleaned up. Could find mold...
I figured I'd get a bullshit answer. I'll investigate the answer for myself.
I've been involved with shooting for over 40 years. I've been involved with ATA shooting for only 10 years now. I've shot very little registered as...
I guess. :-)
Jesus Christ guys! It's the same crap over and over and over again! 3 hole targets vs. 2 hole targets, the ATA is doing this or the ATA is doing that...
WPT, Please, do not, I'm begging you, contact the SCTP. They know what they are doing. Unlike the ATA/ AIM, they ARE all about the kids. They...
Whatever, Oleo, the SCTP refers to their participants as athletes and I like that. That's what separates the SCTP from the AIM program. SCTP has a...
Roger, Who's insulting what potential customers? Enlighten me please. I have missed something apparently
If the City Barbecue there is as good as the one in NE Cincinnati, then I'll be all over it!
Once again, Oleo, you have successfully up a decent thread. I was going to say "Unbelievable!" But really should have expected it. My bad, again.
Oleo, Sorry, I forgot that you know everything. My bad. Wasn't looking for an argument
Oleo, By your own definition, trapshooters, especially the young ones, are athletes. They train and practice for a game that requires physical...
No I don't think the SCTP has a policy against the practice traps being open to the public. I think it's up to the Cardinal whether or not the...
Lynch, That was the beauty of Sparta. There were enough traps for all the events, plenty of practice traps AND even enough traps for the vendors to...
I would imagine that if this years SCTP event is close to comparable to the amount of athletes that typically have been at Sparta, the practice traps...
Yes. The ATA is the governing body of the SCTP.
WPT, What you write doesn't so much bother me. What bothers me is that all you do it seems is complain about the ATA. Complaining on these forums...
All that read his posts and believe the bullshit he spews. If he doesn't like the ATA or the way it's ran he needs to get involved with the...
I'm going to go ahead with this and if I'm banned from this site well, it's gonna be worth it. xxxx YOU AND THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON, WPT!!
Was told that all the sites at the Cardinal Center were gone the first day they took reservations. Our group got sites several weeks ago at another...
WPT , It's been my experience that when someone responds with name calling after a statement or action, it usually means that statement or action has...
Longshot, Your description of the ATA is just like a description of the government or a union or a business. Instead of constantly complaining and...
Wpt,you said," You do not know me and your opinion does not matter to anyone but you". Does that statement not pertain to you, also or is it just a...
Could the economy since 2008 have been a factor? The price of fuel and shells alone slowed down a lot of shooting I'm sure.
How many thousands of ATA members didn't shoot the Grand when it was in Vandalia? I don't think it would matter where the Grand is held, there will...
WPT They do have a Wal Mart in Sparta :-)
WSRC I believe was built to help the local Southern Illinois economy. Not to satisfy the ATA. it just so happened that the ATA needed a place to have...
It's too late to close the gate after the cows get out. Vandalia is gone and it's not coming back. Sparta was the place and it's had it's hiccup....
Just got the AIM Handbook for 2016 yesterday. Full page (18) on the AIM national tournament and not 1 word about location of the tournament! If not...
The ATA trying to make up for the SCTP not being at Sparta this year?
Hunts, Looks like you're correct . It didn't really matter to me because our kids shoot both SCTP and AIM.
I just looked at the SCTP handbook. It states nothing about the athletes joining the ATA. It just states that the targets will be registered with the...
The AIM was moved to the Saturday through Tuesday before the Preliminary events several years ago. It pissed a lot of coaches and athletes off...
Jhunts, I don't believe the kids in SCTP are required to join the ATA. They must be members if they want the registered targets. I could be wrong,...
The AIM national has been 4 days since they moved to the weekend and Monday and Tuesday before the Preliminary events start. There have been doubles...
Cousin in Elkridge, MD ( Baltimore area) sent me a text about an hour ago. He has 18" on ground and said they're calling for another 12 to 15" before...
I'm pretty spoiled. We live closer to Sparta than where our state events are held by about an hour and a half. Now instead of a little better than an...
The SCTP national tournament has been at Sparta for the last 10 years. It grew in numbers every year. Last year there were 2100 athletes in the 200...
