My release trigger sticker wore off after many years of use. Do I need to have one on for shooting registered ATA events? And where can I get a new one?

Thank you for your honesty.I don't know much, but I can give you my opinion

I think you mean no one picks up another's gun on purpose, without permission.maltzahn said:Most would never notice and no one picks up another shooters skeet gun without permission either.
This is a tired old arguement that has been decided on years ago.

Yes ....either way, your messin' around with fire. Just bumping anothers gun in the rack, will get heated. Especially if it has $3000.00 dollar custom wood on it. Makes one wonder, who gets DQ'ed for the pending arguement.ScratchRob13 said:I think you mean no one picks up another's gun on purpose, without permission.maltzahn said:Most would never notice and no one picks up another shooters skeet gun without permission either.

As my father would say to me: "This is not a democracy, this is a dictatorship, and I am the Dictator."Jim Tyner said:In arguments there are two sides, the right side,(usually me), and the wrong side, (occasionally me).
Your right....it does happen. Many would offer to pay for the stock to be refinished. Those would be the old guys that have had it happen before. Newbies, maybe not so much. Picking up the wrong gun also happens, most often without any real ramification, but this discussion is about release triggers and what might happen to a shooter firing one unaware. I've watched that happen too, sending a load down range safely, just not on target. "What if" discussions never go anywhere and never have much merit until a real accident happens. I call those that try to imply there is some unknown danger... anal-retentive and guess that they work for the government. At least for some cultural diversity sensitive school district with a no tolerance policy. :lol:ScratchRob13 said:Don't get me wrong I see clearly both sides of the argument...
And while this stuff should not happen, especially with the care and due diligence that should be applied to handling firearms... the truth of the matter is that is does happen.
And in response to your above question... my opinion both parties should be, because there should be some level of civility to be displayed in public, and it would make both parties represent the sport in a better light, and make parties more aware of their actions, while also biding their tempers.
My opinion, nothing more.
I actually have , in fact more than a few times.drsfmd said:I'll put it this way guys.... I've never seen a trap house shot by someone using a pull trigger. I've seen lots of trap houses shot by people using release triggers.
I'm not saying that there isn't a place for release triggers, I just think that ATA should treat release triggers the same way that NSSA does...
NSSA Rules said:III-G-11. A shooter will not be permitted to use a gun with a
release-type trigger unless the referee and the other
members of the squad are notified. Extra caution must
be exercised if the gun is given to a referee who is unfamiliar
with its operation. Guns with release type triggers
must be clearly marked with designated safety stickers.
Release trigger stickers, with instructions on placement,
are available from NSSA Headquarters. Please call or
write to Membership Services.
No you really did,t try you just showed people you can,t walk and chew gum at the same time .[/quote]KEYBEAR said:I tried a release trigger on an SKB trap gun that I had bought - for about 3 shots!!!
it took ut a few minutes to get the stock off and get rid of the offending lever and spring!
