VHA???

[John from MN]

Let's not forget that it was a nice place to shoot.

I only made it to a single Jamboree and a couple of 600yd matches. Met some really decent people there.

I don't think the magazine was ever the same after Steve Timm left. His enthusiasm for shooting and varminting was infectious. JMO.

Why did Steve Timm leave ?

With all those advertising dollars involved, how did they go out of business??? The magazine was ads from front cover to back cover, and none of them were cheap!!!

When one looks at how thin a number of our other shooting/hunting mags are getting - I'm sure VHA won't be the last one to disappoint. It takes three or four to arrive at the content in a single issue of Precision Shooting when it was in its heyday. I think when they offer 3 years for super cheap, one sees the end coming.

One has to remember that the magazine was not the sole purpose of VHA. At least in my opinion it wasn't. Janet Hanson ran it for years, IIIRC, but it has declined since she left. I just don't think Jeff & Jackie put a good effort into it. Was it a 501c org with IRS? If so what is going to happen to the assets? Is the entire org and assets for sale or does some banker have it now?

I hate to see a good organization and magazine go but what I hate more is the amount of members that were invested in the organization that won't get anything back. To me, it doesn't even seem legal. I wasn't a life member, but I truly feel for those guys that were and those that had paid in advance for long term magazine subscriptions, etc. They invested hard earned money in good faith only to be let down. If I am wrong, please tell me because I don't want to have this opinion if I am looking at it wrong.

Understand the indignation.

I have been a member literally since the beginning. Just looked at my membership card.
