Week 12 - Rain Out

Mother Nature put the AA Class championship and the L. Wilcox Trophy presentation on hold. Thankful for the much needed rain though. Stay tuned for a makeup date.

2015 Season Winding Down

The Local 505 is entering into the final week of the 2015 trap season with a 29 bird lead on Signature Construction. This equates to a likely third consecutive AA Class Championship. Mike has a commanding lead on the 2015 OSC Top Gun award. John is currently in third 10 birds back.

The Local 505 shoots Tuesday night at 6:30pm. Tasty Pizza Pit pizza, cold beverages, and general brewhaha will commence shortly there after.

Wonder Twin Powers Activate!

Alex and Shawn held the line in week 11 as Mike, John, and Jared made sizable withdrawals from their bank accounts. Harps was TG. Only one week remains to determine the second half Class AA Champion. U.C.B. Huh! U.C.B. Huh!  U.C.B. Huh! 

OSC Sporting Clays

A record 186 shooters participated in the Oregon Sportsman's Club's Sporting Clay Shoot and Factory Firearms Day on August 8, 2015. This event was sponsored by Max Creek Outdoors and reps from Browning and Benelli were on hand with a wide assortment of shotguns that were available for test shooting and Max Creek provide a free lunch to all guests. A big thank you to Kevin Hermanson and his legion of volunteers for putting on such great sporting clay shoots and keeping our club strong.

Local 505 member, Jared Hook, on his way to making hay as he was a money winner again in the final shoot of the season.

Kevin seems to be coping with the stress of the Class AA championship chase quite well.

Week 10 - Special Guest Night

The Hook family made a special appearance to cheer on Jared and the Local 505 this week. It was great to see the entire family enjoying a night at the club.

A couple of members from Signature Construction were suspiciously prowling around the club tonight. The Local 505 posted a good team score and put the pressure the rest of class AA to keep up. John was TG and is pictured above with his "pal" Kevin - aka KMH.

Harps was M.I.A. in week 10 as he was on location sweating his you know whats off.

One Bird Lead

The United Clay Busters of America, Local 505 chapter leads team Signature Construction by one bird in the Class AA second half title chase. Between the two teams, 1,500 shots have been fired in the second half of the season and the next 1,500 shots will determine if the Local 505 wins Class AA outright or if Signature Construction can force a championship shoot off. #I'mLovingIt

Week 9 - The Blue Light Special

The Local 505 were down two men this week as Jared and Alex are on vacation. Mike continues his club championship roll with some incredibly consistent shooting. MK was TG in week nine. Harps posted a great score which was above his average as well. It's currently a two-horse race for the second half AA title between the Local 505 and Signature Construction. Stay tuned folks.

The "New Guy" Fitting in Well

The Local 505 welcomed Jared Hook to the team this spring as Jeff accepted a new job and moved to Minnesota. When we told Stu that Jared was joining our squad it was obvious we'd made a good choice. Stu slowly smirked and gave us that look like, "you sons of bitches." Yes sir, another hard hitting clay buster on the line who's handy with a gun and driven for greatness. Thanks for pulling for the Union Jared. 

Week 8 Was Delicous

Yes the Local 505 had a blast shooting trap tonight. Yes we posted our biggest team score of the year without someone using a bank score. Yes Mike is leading the club's top gun chase and John is second. Yes Alex posted his highest score of the season. But the real story is Bob and Cathi Fisher treated the Tuesday night shooters to a walleye, smoked salmon, and homemade potato salad dinner. Bob is such a good fisherman he needed to make room in his freezer so he could go catch more walleyes. A big UCB thank you to the Fisher's for such a delicious club dinner.

Alex put in some hard work and posted his biggest non-bank score of the season. Nice shooting Schmalz.

Mike is on his AA game and crushing the targets and the competition. He currently leads the club's top gun chase and if he can hold on, he would be the first Local 505 team member to win the title. MK was TG.

The Harpinator

Shawn is having a career year on the Local 505 and is one of the top 10 shooters at the Oregon Sportsman's Club this season. Shawn is a founding member of the United Clay Busters of America and credits routinely practicing the mount of his gun as the x-factor to his higher scores. Keep up the great work Harps.
