Greetings Fellow Club Members,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the folks that volunteered this weekend at WSC’s booth at the Sandwich Fair. Through their efforts the club took in over $9300 to fund our yearly Scholarships as well as capital improvements to the range.
So, with that said, I offer my grateful thanks to Russ Wakefield, Phil Hoefs, Howie Chandler, Cindy Frye, George Faul, Bob Foster, Bill Wilson, Russ Goyette, Brad Rohdenburg, Bob & Jane Hammond, Earl Rosse, Gordon Batcheller, Tony Ford, Skip Feist, Garry Gerrosie, Bill Hall, Steve Law, Rick Standford, Paul Dubuque and Alan Waldrip for staffing the booth. The success we had this year would not have been possible without the generous donation of your time.
I would also like the folks that showed up to help stuff the mailing envelopes in August.
The raffle winners were as follows.
The Marlin 336 Classic Scholarship Gun – Steve Buy
Mossberg Shotgun Combo – Peter Harper
Hoyt Compound Bow – Chris Wood

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
At the end of today's event Scott Thurston suggested we rename the Shoot out Cancer fundraiser to The Corrie Sullivan Shootout Cancer Fundraiser.
Many of you know Corrie and are familiar with her battle. Corrie started this event as a way to give back to the Payson Cancer Center at Concord Hospital. We take great pleasure in renaming this event and we wish Corrie all the best.
Thank you to all of today's competitors, volunteers, supporters, and donors.
Please watch the calendar for next year's first annual Corrie Sullivan Shoot out Cancer Fundraiser. Let's make it the best ever!!
Congratulations Phil Hoefs New Club Champion!
Winnipesaukee Sportsmen's Club has a new club champion............Congratulations Phil Hoefs!
Phil had a very strong championship weekend. At the conclusion of Saturday's rifle and trap portions of the championship, Phil was in second place. He had already been crowned Trap Champion with a combined score of 44 out of 50 clays. Sunday's pistol events were where Phil shined. He took first place in 3 of the events and came in second in the 4th, earning the title of Pistol Champion. Phil's total score for the 2 day event was 105, edging out last year's club champion Jake Snow. Jake had a great weekend also, winning the Rifle Championship on Saturday and leading the competition going into Sunday. Phil is now the reigning Pistol, Trap and Club Champion, well done Phil!
In addition to the awards, Phil won $50 gift certificates for each of the trap and pistol championships, and $100 for club champion to Ben Lear's shop as well as free membership renewal for 2026. Jake Snow was also awarded a $50 gift certificate to Ben Lear for his rifle championship.
I would like to thank Kim Dubuque, Phil Hoefs, Andrew Lanigan, Kerry Dubuque, Chuck Kenney and the 14 contestants for making the second annual Club Championship a big success.
Other highlights from the weekend were Andrew Spencer's memorable performance on both days. Our youngest competitor bested many more seasoned shooters in both rifle and pistol events. Great job Andrew! David Patz, a relative newcomer, performed well on Saturday, on both the rifle and trap courses. Andrew Lanigan had points in all of the rifle events, including a second place finish in Steel Challenge, loosing to Phil Hoefs by .03 seconds.
We still have 2+ months of club competitions before we wrap up the season. Check the website for dates and rules for each event. It's a great way to meet other members, hone your skills for next year, and have fun in a relaxed competitive environment.
Cheers,
Bill Wilson
President WSC
