The Hunter's League Begins

Stu has organized a great Hunter's League again this year. Six weeks of blasting clay pigeons and pounding arrows into unsuspecting paper and 3D animal targets.  Oh yeah.

The first challenge is shotgun shooting in a sporting clay format. You shoot 25 shells in various stations including a duck blind and a walking shot.

The second challenge is 25 arrows in the archery room. You shoot at targets while sitting, standing on a log and the finale is shooting at a moving deer target. Good times.

See the lights

The new poles and fixtures are being installed.

Steve has done a great job leading the charge on the club improvements.

Almost ready for clay busting.

2012 Steak Feed = Success

 The Local 505 had a strong showing at the 2012 Steak Feed. John, Shawn and Mike enjoyed good meals and cold beverages.

The Club had a really good turnout and the members and guests really enjoyed the new patios and club improvements.

Steve and Brent did a great job preparing the food.

Hot potatoes.

Harps was a big winner bringing home Mole Traps and Mole Poison. He also won several boxes of Winchester shotgun shells.

OSC Rennovations

The new landscaping and patio are almost complete. The light poles shipped today so we should be ready for some fall hunt club shoots soon. I think the UCB Local 505 should have a fall family party on the new patio with a big fire pit and a few cocktails.

Happy Labor Day America

2012 AA Grand Totals

The 2012 trap season is officially over and the Champions have been crowned. This blogger is going through spread sheet withdrawal so here's one more chart to wrap up the year. The S/S Boys didn't win the 6 or 12 week title but they did break the most targets. They were very consistent by breaking 1270 and 1278.

THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE IN 2013. LET'S GO 505!

2012 AA Shoot Out - A Champion is Crowned

I would like to say the 2012 AA Championship shoot out between the United Clay Busters • Local 505 and the Sports Products shooters was a close contest but it wasn't. Sports Products easily won the shoot out and they deserve the championship. They are a great group of guys and shot very well as a team.

Congratulations to the Sports Products trap team. They are the 2012 Oregon Sportsman's Club AA Champions. Great shooting gentelmen.

The United Clay Busters bring home the second place title and with it a lot of good times with their shotguns. 

Congratulations to Kent Marshall. Kent won the Oregon Sportsman's Club Top Trap Shooter award for 2012. It was great to see Kent out at the club again this year. Nice shooting and congrats on the well deserved title.

As a famous cartoon pig once said, "That's all folks!"

AA Shootout - August 27 - 6:30pm

The OSC AA Trap Championship Fight Card reads: The United Clay Busters of America vs Sports Products. The Mike Kriefski lead Local 505 takes on the scrappy Sports Products shooters lead by Stu Cameron. This rumble in the Hook Lake swamp takes place Monday, August 27 at 6:30pm. A rendition of the National Anthem and a spectacular fireworks show immediately follows the championship awards ceremony.

Week 12 - Cue Up the Fat Lady

Shawn and John were the only Local 505 members on the line to close out the final week of league shooting. Mike, Alex and Curt were away on business. Congrats to Mike as he won the UCB Local 505 Top Gun title. This is Mike's fifth title in eight years of shooting

The Local 505 is in a shootout with the Sports Products team for the all-around AA Championship. Hoping to have the title wrapped up early next week.

Shawn, Cale and Jeff relax with some cold beer and cold peanuts

Week 11 - Sharpening the Swords

The Local 505 had a great night on the line in Week 11 as they started to shoot in championship form once again. Alex and Mike were co-Top Guns this week but the entire team posted solid scores. Curt was MIA as he was taking care of a little business.

The UCB Local 505 is considering implementing a dress code in 2013 after Alex wore his "Party Pants" to the club. Alex has really pushed the limits of trap line fashion this season. Scroll back to Tuesday, June 19, 2012: Week 4 – The Fashion Recall article.

With one week left to shoot in the AA Second Half Championship Chase, Stu's Sports Products team leads the S/S Boys by six birds. Our shoot off opponent will be determined next Monday night.

Harps brought his AA game to the club in Week 11. Shawn and his shiny Beretta kicked ass and took no prisoners as he posted his highest non-bank score of the season.
