20 gauge No.9 Range Shells

[MississaugaShooter]

Hello all, I tried searchig the forum as to not double up on a question already asked.
I am looking for some 20 gauge #9 shells for my son's Winchester 101. The shells are for shooting skeet (requirement at our gun club). Living in Ontario.
Thanks.

It might be easier to get your club board to get the CFO to allow you to use 7 1/2 shot.

Hummason often has these available.

What ever happened to the club selling shells to their customers?
Seems every place I've shot at sold shells for the shoots.

Anybody know what the reason for the #9 shot requirement is?

Exactly as antiqueguy says, it's so that pellets fall shorter to accommodate range boundaries. Our club has a trap range that only allows 7 1/2 or higher but 7 1/2 is good for target. #9 seems a little excessive but it's their rules.

My local trap/skeet club says 7 1/2 or smaller for trap and 9’s for skeet think it has to do with the shape of the property.
