Ivan Pierce
Ivan Pierce is a quiet spoken “Doer“. He doesn’t make promises, just says that he will “see what he can do“. Then, ‘voila’ : it is done. Ivan was a past Social Chair and Range Officer, among other chores, and is usually found around the Range helping people out, and doing stuff. Thanks, Ivan

Dennis Bonwick
Dennis Bonwick is truly passionate about the Traditional Bow . As an avid Black Powder shooter, he became hooked to the sport at a BP Rendezvous about 15 years ago during a Long Bow demonstration. He has never looked back. He began constructing his first Long bow shortly after, and has made several since. His other passion is teaching others the finer points of Traditional Long Bow shooting. Quietly, calmly and confidently, he demonstrates and teaches the skills and subtle nuances to young and older shooters alike. Instilling confidence and enthusiasm in them.

‘Chuck’ Hawtin
Leonard C. Hawtin , or Chuck as he is affectionately known by his many friends, was born in Ontario. He served in the Navy for 25 years before moving out here in 1992. Chuck has been a Nanaimo Fish & Game member for 8 years now, and is a co-Trap Director. Chuck is one of the quiet and un-assuming Club supporters who spends many of his spare hours up at the club looking after the many chores that need to be taken care of so the trap can run smoothly. If he sees something that needs doing. He just quietly goes and does it. Besides Trap, Chuck enjoys skating , sailing on his 27 ‘ sailboat, and keeping his own yard looking immaculate. He is also reported to be a bit of a gourmand. While still fighting to gain prowess in Doubles, he, unlike many, is one who actually shoots better than he talks.
