Ladies and Gents, Shooters, it is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement from the role of Match director.
Over the last 20 years I have had the opportunity to meet some great people and watch some amazing shooters grow and hone their skills achieving local and national titles. It has truly been a rewarding journey for me but I have been an MD for much longer than I ever anticipated and I am looking forward to relaxing and maybe even doing some shooting myself again. That said, I will continue to own and run A3GMunitions.com so those of you who get your ammo, suppressors and other toys from me can continue to do so.
I want to thank all those who were so instrumental in the success of Atlanta 3-Gun, Erik Kopp, Jeffrey Abraham, Dave Gaucher, Jody Marshall, Robert Strother, David Stephens, Joe Berger and Michael Berger. Without these folks, and particularly Dave Gaucher who has helped me set up every match giving up his one day off a week for literally years, the matches would not have been possible. I would also like to thank William Clay and his team at South River Gun Club for being incredibly supportive and accommodating over the years.
The good news is that I leave you in the very capable hands of Scott Hauswirth and Iron Ridge Shooting Sports. Scott will continue running USPSA and Steel Challenge matches and will be adding the very popular PCSL 2-Gun. For those who do not know him, Scott is the Section Coordinator for Georgia so he has his fingers on the pulse of USPSA today. Scott did a great job with RBGC Practical Shooters as the MD there and he regularly put on monthly matches that rivaled majors. With the flexibility and space SRGC provides I have no doubt that Scott will take USPSA beyond anything we have experienced to date.
I will miss the fellowship I shared with all of you every month and I wish all of you the very best. Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Mark Leeber
