Nostalgia Shoot at the Grand

[Joe from MO]

That's an odd collection of allowables, the Ithaca SBT seems like a strange one to have thrown in. If not for that looks like a Rem vs Win sorta deal.

Can I put my money on the Model 12?

[Randy Roberts]

John I have no knowledge of those things or ATA protocol. I simply inquired and was informed that Parkers will be allowed.

My understanding is that the Nostalgia shoot was originally sponsored by Federal and was the effort of a long time employee. The employee's father shot a model 21, an Ithaca SBT and something else. Therefor those were the only guns allowed. This went on for years. Last year was the first year Remington sponsored the event and they added the guns listed. I heard there was talk of adding Parkers to the list this year but they are not in the program. Hopefully they can amend it.

Randy, your cousin is a past president of the ATA and a marksman of your caliber doesn't shoot trap? Shame on you.

The Nostalgia shoot held at The Grand was introduced by a Federal Ammo representative named Devon Harris. Harris, a shooter and from a family of trapshooters started the event in honor of his dad who shot a Winchester Model 12. When the shoot was introduced and for the years Federal sponsored the event, the Ithaca SBT and Model 12 were selected because they were the dominate trap guns at The Grand during the 20`s to the 50`s.
I think 2018 Grand was the last year Federal sponsored the event. Last year Remington decided to sponsor the event... John, my guess is they will allow you and any others to enter with the Parker SBT.
I don`t believe the event has been won by a SBT... Maybe you can make the Parker a winner!

Remington obviously put it all in the hands of an employee who is ignorant of the past... like so many younger folks today. So history,through ignorance, is slowly, piece by piece, disappearing.

Randy D., will you be at Linn Creek?

[Big D]

Remember, Remington is (and has been)run by a bunch of money managers who probably don't know which end of the gun to hold. They're now in bankruptcy

Actually I do like to shoot doubles and wobble trap John. Is it possible that you may know my cousin Terry ?

[John Davis]

I know of him but have never met him. Would like to meet him though.

And yes doubles is fun but I really struggle with it.

I believe the rather soft language surrounding the list of guns would indicate that the "list" is only a suggestion and other guns of similar age and design will be allowed. One poster has already gotten permission to shoot a Parker single.
