Lou, what is an “industrial” league?

They were skeet and trap teams, formed at the local manufacturing plants and offices, that competed against one another in a league format. For instance Sikorski aircraft could have had a team, Bullard Machine co and Bridgeport milling machine and other companies could all have had teams that competed until a championship would decide the 1st 2nd and 3rd place winners . I think it would last all summer until it started getting dark earlier.

Similar to Industrial Bowling leagues that used to be common. As well as softball teams here in the South.

Think Remington, Winchester, DuPont, Link (aviation). Remington filmed a lot of their D. Lee Braun instructional skeet & trap videos there. |

Yeah, there were a lot of those industrial leagues in the factories around Detroit. I've got several really great patches from them, both gun and archery both.
