Regrettably, it appears that we have lost Griffin Gun Club as a USPSA and SCSA (Steel Challenge) venue, effective immediately.
The reasons given publicly by the BoD of the Club in their newsletter were:
a. new residences and businesses going in on Amelia Road, in-line with the normal firing direction; exacerbated by,
b. low berms on Bays 1, 2, and 3, which would have been cost-prohibitive to remediate; and,
c. displeasure voiced by some members that most of the bays were occupied by competitions three Saturdays out of the month with SCSA, USPSA, and SASS (the "Cowboy" shooters). The newsletter stated that they wanted to move in a more family-oriented direction.
I hate that this has happened. I have my own opinion as to the true cause of this action, but as a non-member, it's irrelevant.
Their Board has invited Club member input on the matter, but I have been told that they were holding pretty firmly to this decision. If anything changes, I will update y'all ASAP.
