So I made the 491 mile trip to Hawks Ridge for IBS long-range nationals. No I didn’t forget anything even though I thought I was. I just wanted to say it was a great shoot and it was run by some really friendly people. I was asked my thoughts on ways to improve it and to be honest I really couldn’t come up with any.
Everything ran extremely smoothly and it just moved right along even though we had over 100 shooters. I heard of no real issues at all and again the people were just so friendly.
Two weeks ago I was fortunate enough to be able to shoot GBA nationals at Harry Jones Memorial Range. It too, was run extremely well and everything went smoothly. The people there were exceptional as well.
Two great matches, simple as that.
I have come to the conclusion that the shooting community in general is made up of lots and lots of good, honest, fun loving people. I know there has been some bad history in the past between GBA members and IBS members and to be honest I really don’t know everything that went on, nor do I care to.
What I do know is we are all fortunate to be able to go to matches like these and do what we love to do. I would like to ask that members on both sides would try to treat each other with civility that each of us deserves.
I’m sure this may be difficult for some to hear but we really need to stick together now because so many are trying to take away our ability to do what we love. I would like to ask that both on this forum, and in person we treat each other fairly. We don’t need to be attacking each other when there are plenty attacking us already. They would like nothing more than to see us tear each other apart.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
