Well that's disappointing. I didn't see what the purpose of the move was, unless I missed something.

They moved it to be closer to my house, hoping I'd start competing, since I'm such an excellent shot... :lol:

The masters cannot change the culture of a religion without changing the idols and the temple of high worship.

:wink:
Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

My reading of the announcement revealed no purpose or benefit of the change of site.

In my experience, this is a symptom of change for the sake of change, management preference, $$ benefit, political reasons, etc.

Examples include new management changing product names, logos, facility locations, and such just to give the impression of "making a difference".

Idiots. Camp Perry is not just a site for shooting, it's historically one of the most famous shooting sites in the USA. The NRA really missed it on this decision! I hope many boycott the decision.

I have heard grumblings, from several Master class shooters, that it's time to take up a different discipline.
I know a whole lot about very little and nothing about a whole lot.
