[QUOTE=Mike Koneski;450465]William, I never shot Bunker at Ontelaunee. I am a Life Member there but when I used to shoot there I was doing action pistol. That was many moons ago. I think Allan Chubb had something to do with the trap ranges?
Yes Chubb had "something to do with the trap ranges" like the San Andreas fault had to do with past CA earthquakes! Loved or hated him, he ran a tight ship and held some of the best international trap matches in the country. Grand Prix of America and the German Shoot come to mind. The Italians, longtime bunker fanatics, loved the place. Several of the more well-heeled Ontelaunee bunker shooters followed a Europa-Middle East circuit every year; starting in Germany, then on to Montecatini in Italy, Cyprus, Istanbul and Cairo.
One year in the GP of USA Michael Diamond and a buddy came all the way from Australia to "warm up" for the Olympics. They both remarked how competent and refined the bunker at Ontelaunee was; Diamond went on the win the gold medal in Atlanta in 1996 and in Sydney in 2000. My heyday there was 1990-2001. Greatest shotgun game in the world!
