We at The Wisconsin Trigger Company are very proud to be the trigger sponsor of the Wisconsin Junior Rifle Team. It may be our triggers but it's their hard work that made this win happen.
Below is the after event press release: The Cheese Stands Alone: Cheddar is Better as Wisconsin Junior Rifle Team Takes Home National Trophy Team Championships PORT CLINTON, OH – July 27, 2017 – Six years ago, Wisconsin was unable to field a single six-person junior (under 20 years old) team in the National Trophy Rifle Matches at Camp Perry in Port Clinton, Ohio. In 2011, new leadership took over the team and began establishing a program that emphasized education, safety, and quality marksmanship. Today, Wisconsin is home to the National Trophy SixPerson Junior Team, Two-Person Junior Team, and placed two competitors on the Deneke Team - an honor roll of the six best junior service rifle shooters in the nation. Team Cheddar (Wisconsin names it’s junior teams after cheeses, of course), consisting of Josh Hanrahan of Suamico, Brad Schoenemann of Lodi, and Coach Kaleb Hall of Oconto, took home first place in the 
Freedom Fire match - a two-person junior team match. Cheddar narrowly defeated Illinois’ top team on X count (the “bullseye” of the target). Team Cheddar is the first Wisconsin team to bring home the Freedom Fire Trophy since it was introduced in 2009 (Two previous teams won the Freedom Fire Match’s predecessor: The Whistler Boy Match). Wisconsin placed an astonishing four teams in the top twenty. Other teams placing included Team Mozzarella (Jadon Selsmeyer of Green Bay, Bryan Melville of Chippewa Falls, and Coach Mike Stewart of West Salem) in 5th place, Team Colby (Vince Norling of Oconto Falls, Riley Stewart of West Salem, and Coach James Schonke of Pepin) in 12th, and Team Muenster (Sam Cvikota of La Crosse, Thomas McGowan of Hortonville, and Coach James Melville of Chippewa Falls) in 17th. No other state placed more teams in the top 20. The Minuteman Match is the National Six-Person Junior Team Championship. Since 1925, no Wisconsin team has ever won. That drought ended at the 2017 National Trophy Matches. Team Cheddar, consisting of firing members Josh Hanrahan of Suamico, Bryan Melville of Chippewa Falls, Vince Norling of Oconto Falls, Brad Schoenemann of Lodi, Jadon Selsmeyer of Green Bay, Riley Stewart of West Salem, and Coach Kaleb Hall of Oconto, defeated Pennsylvania by 39 points. Additionally, Brad Schoenemann and Josh Hanrahan placed in the Bill Deneke Trophy Team by firing high scores among the nation’s junior competitors throughout the individual and team matches. The pair are the first Wisconsin juniors to do so since Dan Hall of Green Bay made the team in 2011. The National Trophy Matches ended with one last honor. Brad Schoenemann earned 2nd place in the National Air-15 Air Rifle Offhand competition. Schoenemann bested military marksmanship team members, as well as current and former national champions to take home this honor. The Wisconsin Junior Service Rifle Team is a volunteer organization operated under the auspices of Wisconsin Firearm Owners - the only NRA chartered state association in Wisconsin.
