I want to apologize again. My choice of words were completely out of line. I am a very active member at USSA and truly love the place.
Les Dunn is a good friend of mine. We've trained together extensively, we've worked on guns together, we've loaded ammo together. Hell, I helped the guy move on a ****ing hot day.
When I heard that the Production Nationals prize table guns were being "held hostage" over a billing dispute I should have asked Les personally about it.
About an hour ago I decided to drive up to USSA and talk to Les about this issue and other concerns and perceptions I and other members have concerning the general direction of the Academy. We had a very frank and productive discussion.
He assured me no guns are being "held hostage". Evidently there are three guns that have not been shipped to California because of legal reasons(not on the approved list).
He also assured me that all of our matches will continue with USSA's full support. I can personally tell you as Match Director that the support I've had from the staff as far as ProAm is concerned has been very good.
Les also assured me that the planned improvements such as the new Rogers Range and Skeet/Trap facilities are in motion.
He feels that the new owner will be great for every aspect of USSA and that the facility will be fulfilling it's potential as the premier range in this part of the country, which will be awesome for all of us.
