Like Father Like Daughter

Local 505 member Jared Hook and his daughter Brianna recently put the hurt on a big old pile of ringnecks. The pair enjoyed a day at Millford Hills Hunt Club and Brianna gave her new Browning Silver shotgun a good workout. Congrats and nice shooting.

Copa Aguila 2016 - Guadalajara, Mexico

September 23, 2016: United Clay Busters of America members, Alex Schmalz and John Krull, ventured to Guadalajara, Mexico for the second annual Copa Aguila sporting clay tournament. Copa Aguila was a three day event that included four separate shoots – three sporting clay tournaments and a four-course five-stand competition. The event was held at Club Cinegético Jalisciense which is approximately 10 miles west of Guadalajara. “The club was an incredible facility and the Mexican shooters were a pleasure to shoot with,” said Krull “Getting the proper permits to bring your firearms into Mexico and navigating customs, immigration, and the Federal Police was definitely an interesting experience.” Club Cinegético Jalisciense

Sport Products 2016 Class AA Champions

A big congratulations to Sport Products on winning the 2016 Class AA title. They beat the Local 505 by two birds in the championship shoot off. Really fun watching these guys shoot. Great season Bryan, Pat, Steve, Ron, and Bob!

Week 12 Report

The Local 505 took their first official team selfie in week 12 of the 2016 season. The boys gave it their all but came up short of the red hot Sport Products. Stu would be proud of how his old team rallied in the second half of the season to force a shoot out for the 2016 Class AA championship. The championship will likely be decided the week of August 29. #KeepYourBarrelsWarm505

Week 12 Bartender Cam: This bartender really enjoyed having the Sons of Liberty at the club this season. It was a good reflection of the excitement the Local 505 experienced back in 2005. Good luck in college and work gents and we'll see you next spring.

Ladies Night

Signature Ladies & Nacho showed up tonight to shoot a rain out makeup score. It was great to have some fresh faces on our Tuesday trap league. Say hello to Becki, Kris, Nacho, Kelly, and Mary. Also present but not photographed were Fred, Kev, and Bailey.

The Class AA Rumble In The Jungle

The Local 505 and Sport Products are battling for the Class AA title like a couple of heavy-weight prize fighters. Sports Products dominated round one and the Local 505 battled back and delivered crushing blows in rounds 2-9. Sport Products rocked the Local 505 with a big right hook in round 10 that brought the crowd to their feet. Sport Products now has staggering lead on the judges score cards with only two rounds remaining in the fight. Don't count out either team until the final bell rings. #TightedTheGloves

Class AA Update

The second half Class AA title race is heating up. The United Clay Busters of America - Local 505 lead Sport Products but just one bird with three weeks remaining in the season. #exciting

Week 8 Report

The Local 505 maintains a slight lead on Sport Products for the 2nd half class AA title. It's definitely down to a two-horse race and only four weeks and 2,000 birds left to determine the 2nd half champion.

Note: This photo has nothing to do with the week 8 post. This blogger just likes to burn the cardboard with a torch at the end of the night and it's the only picture taken this evening. 

Week 7

Feeling fortunate to be able to pursue our passions and share the camaraderie of our fellow club members. Our hearts go out to the Dallas police officers and all victims of senseless violence.

Sir James Lutz wins the award for the coolest shell bag. Way to represent.

Bartender Cam: Busted by Dan. Need to work on my stealth camera skills.

Bye Week

The Local 505 had a bye week in celebration of America's birthday so this blogger took advantage of the beautiful evening and got acquainted with Aguila's high-velocity trap loads. These rounds are really fun to shoot from handicap distances as there are lightning fast - 1350 fps fast. #FeedYourFirearm

The Sons of Liberty

The Son's of Liberty  - Week 6 - 2016

Brandon - Cole - James - Will - Luke

 James Lutz pounded out a great score.

#LuckyVest

This photo illustrates the challenging backdrop shooters face at the Oregon Sportsman's Club. Our trap houses are looking a little ghetto.

Week 6 - Half Way Point

The Local 505 officially wrapped up the first half of the 2016 trap season and unofficially have also captured the six-week Class AA title. Win the second six-week title they're the champions. Loose the second half and the Class AA championship will be determined by a shoot off.

Bartender Cam: Dean shared some colorful stories about his past adventures in Mexico and Panama.

Week 5 - June+

June is awesome in Wisconsin. The Local 505 put up another solid score and have their eyes on the first-half AA title. Shawn shot well and is seen here scoring up team F.A.T.

Shawn also found one pissed off little turtle and transplanted his him back to Hook Lake.

Bartender Cam: Pepper Retzleff chilling out on the cool clubhouse floor.

Signature Construction 2016

Signature Construction, a former Class AA rival of the Local 505, has a new look in 2016. Kent Marshall is gone. Fred Clark stepped in. Swanky new beige shooting shirts. And a lot of pump shotguns. LtoR: Kevin, John, Ben, Chuck, and Fred.

UCB Week 4 - And The Thunder Rolled

The Local 505 set a personal team record tonight but it took a couple of tasty bank scores to do it - Alex and Harps were M.I.A. on business. Thunderstorms split the club all night but finally let loose on the handicap round. A few raindrops didn't slow the United Clay Busters of America down as the birds kept flying and kept dying.

 Team F.A.T. (Firearms. Alcohol. Tobacco.) shot the first shift tonight and we're banging away as thunder rolled in the distance.

Week 4 Bartender Cam: Good conversation with Dan and Ed Hefty tonight. Topics covered: corn prices, GPS, modern day farming, Phelps Implement, Greene IA, dog training, pheasant hunting in South Dakota, the finer points of road hunting, mules, and the Sons of Liberty shooting abilities.
