CASCADE, Wis. — The percussive sound of shotgun blasts hitting brightly colored clays may have limited your ability to hear it, but all you had to do was look to see the joy on the faces of WTBA members in Sheboygan County yesterday.
WTBA held its annual Spring Sporting Clays Tournament at the Highlands Sportsmen’s Club in Cascade.
More than 40 teams, totaling nearly 180 shooters gathered at the club for a full day of competition, craft, and camaraderie.
“Sporting clays at this facility is outstanding,” WTBA President JR Ramthun said.
“We sold this out, I think, in literally less than a day… All these events WTBA does just brings everybody together. I keep saying, the face-to-face time is so important for contractors, Associate members, vendors, dealers, just everybody to get together.”
WTBA extends its congratulations to the winning teams and shooters:
HIGH TEAM: Matt Wade, Owen Wade, John Devine, Chad Shihata (170)
2nd HIGH TEAM SCORE: Chris Larson, Dick Palacek, Todd Schulz, Garrett Schwabenlend (166)
HIGH FLURRY SCORE: JR Ramthun, Mitch Marohl, Josh Judkins, Tony Straseske (47 of 50)
HIGH SCORE MALE: Joe Crubaugh (47)
2nd HIGH MALE: JR Ramthun (47)
HIGH SCORE FEMALE: Heather Sayler
2nd HIGH SCORE FEMALE: Jenna Jordon
WTBA will hold its Fall Sporting Clays Tournament at the Highlands in September.
