Stu Cameron. A friend of the 505.

Stu Cameron was the first man to greet us when we walked up to the Orgeon Sportsmans Club five years ago and has made us feel right at home ever since. Stu is the Godfather of Trap at the club and has helped a ton of shooters improved their averages – including the Local 505. The United Clay Busters of America salute you Stu Cameron for all of your hard work and for being one hell of a good guy.

Week 10 Report

Week 10 is in the books and I will not lie – the UCB shot a little below their average as a team tonight. Mike and Shawn were M.I.A. this week and missed a beautiful night to shoot. John lead the team in scoring and the Hankery lead the team in photography. Curt has three photography awards to his credits and possibly a fourth after tonight.

The Local 505 is beginning to schedule practice dates in preparation for the upcoming shoot off in three weeks. I believe the UCB will need to shoot a 220 team score to even have a chance at the championship.

Meet Cale Severson. A Friend of the 505.

I'm starting a new special feature this week titled "Friends of the 505." We have met a lot of good people in our five years of clay busting and want to start introducing you to our buds. With that said, meet Cale Severson. Cale is currently leading the OSC in the top gun race and is basically a good guy to bullshit with. His latest claim to fame was finding a 12,000 year oldish Mastodon tooth. You can read the full story here:

Cale has had a lot of interest from archaeologists about acquiring the tooth but he plans on enshrining it in a coffee table. True story.

Living the High Life

Week 9 is in the books which only leaves 3 more weeks in the 2009 season. Mike was the UCB Local 505 Top Gun again this week with a solid night of shooting. We are currently down by 22 birds in the second half championship race so a shoot out with the S/S Boys for overall club champion is looking imminent.

Week 8 Report

An average night shooting for the Local 505. Not too good, not too bad. Stu's team is kicking our ass in terms of team scores - I guess we are lucky he isn't in the AA class this year. Mike had a very solid night on the line and once again paced the team. We drew a few heckles from the Otis Elevator team for taking pictures on the range. They settled down once we explained we have a blog. That's how we roll on Tuesday nights boys.

UCB man heaven. It's a backyard trap and skeet field. Well done Sir. Well done indeed.

The Sensei and The Student

The legendary James Breen participate in the United Clay Busters of America's Firearm Training program this afternoon. James was a very good student and did exceptionally well in the Firearm Safety portion of the training. James improved with every shell and is looking forward to more advanced training in the near future. Nice shooting JB.

Week 7 Report

The Pabst can is being featured again because this blogger forgot to take of picture of the Week 7 Top Gun. Mike lead the team with a couple of nice, consistent rounds of shooting. Only 5 short weeks of league shooting left.

Mid season team results were posted. Nice work UCB.

July 7th – Bye Week

July 7th was a bye week due to the 4th of July holiday. That didn't stop the Local 505 from getting out to the club and putting several hundred rounds through their guns. The United Clay Busters were also confirmed as the mid-season AA Champions. This guarantees them a shot at the overall club championship which will be determined in 6-7 weeks.

The Local 505 was honored to have a guest shooter on the line tonight. Mr. Scott Welter joined the team for a few rounds of trap shooting. Scott proved he knows his way around a 12 gauge and did an excellent job with his Remington 1187. Thanks for making the journey to the Oregon Sportsman's Club Scott.
