Western Region 2 - Sad news !

Post by braud357 »

I have heard from a reputable source that we are going to lose 2 more ranges in Region 2. Moss Hill R&P in Mobile, AL and Pensacola R&P in Pensacola, FL. The loss of these 2 ranges are a terrible loss to the shooters in western Region 2. This will make Top Shot in Quitman, LA the ONLY Big-bore IHMSA club in southwest Region 2 ! No clubs in Miss, Alabama, or Tennessee ! The nearest Region 2 Big-bore match for us in Louisiana will be in Lincolnton, GA. ! I want to thank Gordon Davis, Jim Edwards and crew in Mobile and Harry Stover and crew in Pensacola for their long service in putting on these matches. I also want to thank the efforts of my brother Charlie Braud - for without his dedication and tireless efforts we would not be shooting in Louisiana as well ! Sad times indeed !!

Unfortunately, this has been going on for years across the country. It is very sad to see, but we are an aging group of shooters and the game is labor intensive. Very sorry for your loss. I know it is hard.

Yours,

Sure sorry to hear about the range closings. I'm sure the shooters are going to miss them. It is sad how our sport has been slowly losing great people and ranges.

There's been an update on the Pensacola Fl range. As I understand they are in the process of building a new IHMSA silhouette range as I type this. Will keep all informed as I get information. Allen
