Rumors are circulating, that MyBayCity's Julie Munger-McCallum has challenged Wild Addiction's Producer & Host Tim Roller, to a shoot-off, although Roller's schedule has not been confirmed.

McCallum said, "I've always wondered how the pro outdoors-man would do on a target ten times smaller and actually moving."

(standard weight of the clay targets are approximately 100 grams (3.5 oz) and be of 108 mm (4.25") overall diameter and 28-29 mm (1 1/8") in height.)

Roller is a Bay City Native, graduate of Handy High School, and is also the owner of Ultimate Outfitters who currently resides in Lake City, Michigan with his wife and two children.
