- Declaration period will end on March 31st, 2026

- DAVE GREENE, TREASURER EMERITUS, THANK YOU LETTER TO FUNDY SHOOTING SPORTS
December 15, 2025 - "I would like to thank the Executive Team and members of Fundy Shooting Sports for bestowing on me a plaque of appreciation. The growth in our club membership from 81 members (2006) to our current total of 554 today has been phenomenal. We have gone from a gravel pit range to one of the finest facilities in the Province. In the beginning (1988) the range was laid out in a North Easterly direction from the Red Head Road shooting up hill towards our current 100 yard firing line. DNR deemed it was too close to the existing baseball field and made us change the location and direction to our current position. We only had 6 benches on the fifty yard line and 3 benches on the 100 yard range. Our shotgun shoots consisted of a hand thrower from the 100 yard line. Slowly the improvements began, in 1994 we purchased our first seacan, and we cut down the trees in (????) to create our 200 yard firing line. Rob Roy created our website in 2006 (we think). We started our annual Scout Appreciation Day in 2007, in 2004 we purchased our first 12 volt clay thrower, it was an Autosporter and is still going strong. We held our first Dana Russell Memorial Shotgun Shoot in 2006. In 2011 we changed our name from Irving Pulp & Paper Recreation Gun Cub Inc. to Fundy Shooting Sports Inc. Also in 2011, we created our Five Stand Field with 5 additional throwers that ran off a manual push button control box plus a 20 foot seacan for storage, in 2013 we acquired two additional Atlas throwers, in 2014 we went full tech and purchased a wireless controller and receivers. We purchased a new 40 foot Main Seacan in 2014. Our Annual Youth Shoots began in 2015 and have been well attended. In 2016 we were able to bring in power to the range to enable us to charge our batteries and install a security system; we also purchased an additional 20 foot Seacan and a charging station for the Shotgun Field. In 2017 we were able to run power from the Shotgun Field to the Main Seacan. We leveled the 25/50 yard firing line, built some decent shooting benches, eventually we had it covered and paved (2018) then came building side berms and the creation of a dedicated pistol bay. A second pistol bay has since been added as well as a cement block retaining wall (2019) and another 40 foot Seacan with a soon to be added wood stove. We have also acquired electronic timers and tablets to keep track of the scoring during Pistol Shoots. A new email system was created in 2018 to keep the membership informed about what is going on at the range. Our Facebook page was created in 2019. We held our first Open Range Day in 2019 which changed to National Range Day in 2022. Two Shot Marker Electronic Scoring systems were purchased (2020 & 2021) for rifle shoots. Also in 2020 & 2021 we acquired two AT-250 Atlas clay throwers and an AT-150 Atlas Throwers in 2022 & 2023. We were also able to purchase a Zoll AED (Automated External Defibrillator) in 2023. In 2025 we purchased an AT-400 Atlas Thrower to replace some older equipment. These are some of the main accomplishments we, as a team, have been able to achieve at the range. I know I have probably left some out. I am proud to have been part of this process but none of these events could have happened without the involvement of the members. So remember when the club is looking for help on a project, step up and do your share. Even though I will be moving to Back Bay I will continue to support FSSI and will come to as many events as I can. Keep your powder dry!" - Dave Greene
David(Dave) Greene, former Treasurer of Fundy Shooting Sports, and now Treasurer Emeritus, was recently presented with a plaque of appreciation for his many years of dedicated service to the club. Dave(on left) is shown receiving his plaque from Mike Delaney.

- BOOMSTICKS FOR BOOMER SHOTGUN SHOOT - SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 28
Our club will be holding a fundraising shotgun shoot this Sunday, September 28th with first shots at 1:00PM. Our former Vice President and current range BBQ Chef, John "Boomer" Kelly has undergone a liver transplant surgery. His wife Fran quit her job last winter to help take care of Boomer, the loss of her income has obviously caused some financial challenges for their family. All funds raised on Sunday will be donated to Boomer and his family as he faces a long road to recovery. The price of this shotgun shoot will be a "Donations Only", please remember that we normally charge $7 per line of 25 clays so we ask that you consider that when donating money to shoot. For every $25 that a shooter donates, they will receive a ticket for a giveaway draw of a prepaid clay target card (for 20 lines) that can be used on our Wednesday night shotgun shoots. We will also be raffling off a case of Challenger 12 gauge #7.5 Target Load. This shoot will be a drop in style event, simply show up between 1:00 and 5:00 and shoot! No need to register in advance. New shotgun shooters are welcome to participate, we will have an extra shotgun on hand in case you don't own one. Come out and have some fun, blast some clays and help out Boomer and his family during his recovery. If you have any questions contact Paul Holder (holderp@gmail.com).***Note: All ranges will be open during this event*** - DANA RUSSELL MEMORIAL SHOTGUN SHOOT SEPTEMBER 13 - UPDATE AND RESULTS

The High Junior was Liam Thompson with a score of 59/100. The winner of the raffle of a case of Federal shotgun shells was Ben Floyd and the winner of the Stevens 555 Over/Under 12 gauge Shotgun was Shayne Lee. I would like to thank all of our volunteers who stepped up to make this event happen especially the Friday night crew who did all the setup of the throwers, batteries, receivers and clays so we could have an early start on Saturday morning. Also, in no particular order, Kareena and Krystal who did the registrations, Ron Sessamen who took care of the squadding, organized the on deck squads and looked after the score sheets and tabulation, Paul Holder for creating the programs for us to shoot, Roy Byers, Jim Harper, Tom Chamberlain, Steve & John Crawford and Shayne Lee for the thrower placements, to name a few. Plus, all those who took turns helping to keep score and push the buttons on the controller, filling the machines with clays and picking up the used hulls. Thanks to Paul Richardson for selling the tickets on the case of shells which raised $445 for the club. To Ian Ross and Trevor Little for BBQ’ing for the ravenous hoard. Thanks again - Dave Greene, Shoot Director.

- RANGE CLOSED DUE TO WILDFIRE DANGER ***UPDATE*** REOPENING AUGUST 26
***UPDATED: The province has reopened crown land - Due to improved weather conditions, the province lifted the restrictions off of Crown Land. The public is allowed to conduct normal activities effective midnight tonight. The province is still in a burn ban and likely will be for the next week or two, possibly longer. Effective tomorrow at 9AM, the range will be reopened to the membership for use. The burn barrels will remain out of use until further notice.*** Effective August 11th at 9 PM, the range will be closed until further notice. This closure is due to the ongoing wildfire situation in the province of New Brunswick. It is imperative that we are good stewards of the land that we lease. Our range is located within Saint John County and will be reopened as soon as the county changes from red to yellow via the New Brunswick Forest Fire Index. The NB CFO has asked all clubs to close in an effort to prevent wildfires. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out - Acting Club President Mike Delaney.

Thanks to Dave Greene for organizing the event and keeping track of all the shooters with his usual attention to detail and thanks to all the club members who helped make this a success. Pictures are here! - CCFR URGENT REQUEST TO COMPLETE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SURVEY
From the CCFR: "This week, the federal government released a pre-budget consultation survey looking for public feedback (support) for a number of national projects they are considering. Since the feds often use these 'public data surveys' to justify future actions, we sent out an immediate 'Call to Action' to our followers on social media, asking all gun owners to use the below instructions and fill out the survey accordingly. How to use the survey to push back: As you fill out the survey, pay very close attention to question #3. "3. What is your highest priority when it comes to Canada's defence and security?" Here, along with several options, the government suggests one titled “Completing the firearms buyback program.” Avoid selecting that checkbox (leave it empty) and instead, select "Other" and express your opposition to the gun confiscation program. This may seem like a small thing, but every little bit of push back counts. Thank you! Sincerely, Team CCFR" LINK TO SURVEY IS HERE! Open to August 28th. - MINI RIFLE MATCH SUNDAY JULY 27
Open to all members and guests for anyone who has an interest in Practical Shooting.

Please be advised that the Practical Shotgun match scheduled for Saturday October 26 has been rescheduled to SATURDAY NOVEMBER 9. I apologize for any inconvenience. I ask that everyone re-register for that date to avoid any confusion. Kind regards, Jody. There will be a Practical Shotgun Match held at the club on Saturday October 26.

We need Range Officers and helpers for this match. The Competitors are expected to help reset targets etc. after the Range Officer clears the range. Registration is by email, please make the subject line "Shotgun" and include details of the shotgun you are using so you can be placed in the right division.

Member Greg Matthews mentioned before the October meeting that he has found the inside 200 yard range gate closed & locked with no members present & the green flag raised. It appears some members do not understand the procedure to use this gate; it is to be closed and locked ONLY when shooting is taking place from the 200 yard firing line. If you are unsure of the procedure review the range safety orientation. Thanks to Greg for mentioning this matter.
