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.

Week 3 - Stop and Smell the Gunpowder

Another beautiful night at the Oregon Sportsman's Club made this shooter stop and smell the gunpowder. It's great to step out of the daily routine and give these clay targets some holy hell. The Local 505 closed the deficit with Sport Products and it looks like a two horse race for the first half AA crown.

Week 3 Bartender Cam: Will Krull and the Sons of Liberty were sporting their new team shirts tonight. #bonafide

FEAR THE HOOK

The Local 505 took advantage of the holiday bye week to make up their bank scores and Jared Hook pulverized his way to a 99 out of 100 this evening. Jared stated that his goal wasn't to just break the birds tonight, he wanted total alienation of the targets - which he did quite well. Great shooting and congratulations Jared.

Thankful the Red Dogs were on hand to score for us tonight or people would have doubted this second round score sheet. One for the archives indeed. Six perfect rounds were shot by three Local 505 members tonight!

Week 2: Man Cannons

The Local 505 brought the heat in the second week of the 2016 trap season. Perfect weather + perfect light = a lot of dead birds.

Congrats to Jared for handicapping back to the 23-yard line and running them. His first 25 with major style points.

Week 2 Bartender Cam: Say hello to Dan and Kiernan Connery who are new members at the club this year. They joined the JC Electric trap team tonight and Kiernan shot 40 out of 50 on his second time shooting trap. A bowl of peanuts, a pizza, a bag of Fritos, a beef stick, and out shooting your dad at trap – priceless.

Week 1 is done…

Not a lot to report on the Local 505 shooting in week one. I'll leave it at that. Sport Products put a monster score on the board and have their sights set on the AA championship.

Week Two Bartender Cam: Shawn is explaining to Will the girl-to guy-ratio at various Midwest colleges.

Gobbler Bustin'

Local 505 member Jared Hook filled his tag yesterday morning with this bodacious 21 lbs tom that sported a 10" beard. Nice work Jared.
