Congrats to the Local 505 on winning the first half AA title. This secures them a shot at their third AA championship. Mike lead the team with rock solid score and earned himself the week six top gun award. Shawn was M.I.A. due to a client dinner.

Next week is a league bye week. The second half chase to the championship begins on July 14.

UCB Week 5 - Welcome to Pound Town

It didn't feel like the Local 505 brought their AA game this week but when the smoke cleared the score sheet told a different story. The UCB is shooting at a record pace in 2015 and have the first half title easily locked up. Jared shot his career high as a United Clay Busters as he's getting this trap game figured out. Mike and his SKB danced the tango tonight and came up just one bird shy of a perfect score. MK was TG.

Shooting in style. Looking sharp Alex.

Working Overtime

A Local 505 member was designing shotgun shell packaging in his basement this evening when it became evident he needed some inspiration. 50 rounds from the 23 yard line proved to do the trick. And for what it's worth, the United Clay Busters of America, unofficially, have a 54 bird lead in Class AA. Repeat, a 54 bird lead. #Boom

Week 4 - We Want More

The Local 505 made quick work of week four and didn't even get the opportunity to share in a post shooting adult beverage due to early morning business travel. Shawn was M.I.A. but withdrew a nice score from the bank. Another rock solid team score with just two weeks to claim the first half title. JK was TG.

Special thanks to Scot Stewart for scoring this week. Scot is a good friend of the 505 and we're bummed we don't shoot before the Sorry Shooters this season.

Week Three: Hello Handicap Yardage.


Week three of our 2015 season started with Alex getting out of the proverbial trap team doghouse. You see, Alex drove home a couple of weeks ago and left his Browning in the gun rack at the club. He learned the "you never leave a man behind" lesson the hard way as Captain Mike picked up the gun and kept it locked in his gun safe.  The reunion is captured in the photo above.

 The Local 505 basking in the after shooting euphoria. They murdered the pigeons from the 16 yard line and were handicapped to the 24 yard line in the second round which proved to be a bit of an equalizer. They still posted a rock solid team score. #NoShootOff

Alex and Mike were the week three co-top guns. Nice shooting gentlemen and way to dial in on the handicap round.

A big thank you to Kurt Steinhorst for taking the Local 505 team photo this week. You can follow Kurt's hunting escapades on the Steiny Outdoors Facebook page.

Week 2 - Big Score

A beautiful June evening ended with smoking gun barrels and a monster team score on the clip board. The Local 505 have generally been slow starters but are surprisingly in late season stride in week two. Alex was M.I.A. and Shawn and his Beretta are in sync and doing some serious work. Jared is confident we left some meat on the bone this week and can post a bigger numbers this season. John was the week two team Top Gun. Special thanks KMH for scoring. #I'mLovingIt
