Benchrest Shooters Canada Records Committee has awarded member Phil Nick a new Canadian Score record; Heavy Varmint 200 yards 249 – 9X shot August 29th, 2021 at Lake of the Woods Gun Club.
Phil broke the existing 200 yard record of 249 – 5X which has stood since 2005.
This feat was accomplished on a metric range which means Kenora shooters are handicapped by having to shoot almost 10% further against records set on a standard range measured in yards.
Phil’s score translates into hitting 24 out of 25 one inch diameter circles at 219 yards.
Congratulations Phil on a job well done.

On September 11 2021 the sun came out and we started our day with Beautiful sunshine.
18 shooters gathered to take part in our shotgun wind up, in honor of a mentor to many of us, Gord Dixon.
We started the morning by shooting sporting clays, which Jeff Favreau scored the highest among the shooters, taking the prize for that discipline. After sporting we gathered for a nice lunch and we were lucky to be joined by Mrs. Leslie Dixon.
In the afternoon, we started by shooting both trap singles and trap doubles, simultaneously.
When the shooting was done, Larry Perkins from Dryden got high score in trap singles, and Dave Robertson got high score for trap doubles.
We also Have a prize for high overall if you participate in all 3 disciplines Which Dave Robertson also got high score in.
I would like to thank all the shooters for participating especially the shooters from Dryden and Vermilion Bay. A big Thank You to colleen Coker for scoring all the trap singles. The local shooters tried to get the shotgun chairman all choked up by Presenting a group signed card and gift certificates
Hope to see you all next year for more fun
Thank you all

Fellow members;
It is with great sadness that I inform you of the passing of fellow member Jeff Schwartz. Jeff was born January 09 1970 and passed August 11 of this year. He was 51. Not long ago we reached out to the members with a go fund me for Jeff to help with his battle with cancer, which many of you gave very unselfishly.
Jeff fought a long hard battle, but never gave up, he even came out to shoot with his shotgun pals when his strength was with him. Jeff was not a long time club member but has been involved in the shooting and hunting sports his whole life. Jeff made coming to the club fun, he kept fellow shooters entertained with a staunch political view, a sharp quip or a snappy saying. There was never a dull moment with Jeff around and for that we will always remember you.
Rest peaceful brother. You will be missed by the club and your shotgun family.
Steve Zabloski – Shotgun Chairman
