It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Bill Embury, the dedicated owner of Saugeen Shafts. Bill’s passion for archery and his commitment to the development of the sport made him a beloved figure in the archery and camping communities.
Bill’s work has been cherished by campers, enthusiasts, and professionals, including members of the Ontario Camping Association. His legacy of community will not be forgotten.
We are working on a transition plan. In the meantime, Tim Watts, Bill’s longtime friend, is available for any inquiries. Tim shares Bill’s passion for archery and outdoor recreation and can be reached at
