Shawn and Rick Soliman cooked their first KCBS in Bloomington, IL where they finished 5th overall and were hooked for life.
The origin of the team name comes from the fact that Shawn and Rick are both avid waterfowl hunters and love to smoke wild game.
Jim Rohr is Rick's father-in-law and joined the team in 2008 when Shawn became the father of twins and time became a premium for him.
