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

Spring Update
As many of you return to the lakes for the new year, you’ll be pleasantly suprised at the condition of our club!
26 dedicated members helped today with the spring clean up. Trees and brush were cleared, the trap range was raked and limed, the lawn was cut and weedwacked, the target stands were refurbished and much more.
The whole operation was spearheaded by Russ Goyette (much thanks Russ) and contributions were made by:
| Kim Dubuque | Jon Heinonin | Garry Gerossie |
| Keith Space | Steve Bittner | Jeff Walker |
| Seamas O’Scalaidhe | Mike Reilly | Bob Chatel |
| Louis Brunelle | Brad Rohdenburg | Jan Sanders |
| John Mellen | Phil Stone | Kent Brown |
| Phil Hoefs | Andy Bover | Steve Ferranti |
| Brian Morgan | Greg Lively | Cindy Frye |
| Skip Feist | Bob Patterson | Jim Gram |
| Steve Low |
I would personally like to thank everyone for a “job well done!”
Here are a few pictures of today’s work party:
Through out the summer we will be having small work parties on the Sunday morning of trap. Workers will get free trap for the day if they help.
After the clean up we had our monthly handgun pin shoot. Congratulations to Kirin Kachroo-Levine for winning the centerfire division and Phil Hoefs for winning the rimfire division. Great shooting!
Lastly, I would like to remind everyone to review the range rules. Specifically, signing in and out of each range, clean up your brass, sign guests in with the one day form and log at the clubhouse, no magnum or rimfire loads on the turning targets at the pistol range (ok at the 50′ steels), shoot ONLY from the sheds not the grass, and please, please be safe.
That’s all for now, Have a wonderful and safe summer, hope to see you around our outstanding little club!
Cheers,
Bill Wilson
