I have some sad news for many of the old time benchrest shooters. My friend and mentor, Howard E Dietz, passed away last night. I have no further details at this time. He had been fighting multiple illnesses since summertime.
 
That's sad to here he was a heck of a nice guy.ken rossing
 
Auf Wiedersehen

Howard was a great person, a pioneer in our sport, a strong supporter of benchrest, a friend and a fellow German. I shall miss him a lot. Tim
 
Sorry to hear this. The first Benchrest (score) match I ever shot was at Dietzville in the 70's.

He told me many stories about the History of this Sport and the Dietz Range at New Braunsfels,Tx. I regret
I didn't get more time to listen. Talk to the old guys,every chance you get. We just lost a big chunk of History.
May he R.I.P.

Provided so much....

Howard was a guy that was an excellent gun smith and...provided an excellent range to use them on. Not many like him....

All the best to Sammy,

I very much enjoyed talking to Howard before matches, between relays and during yardage changes. He was a kind man who was always generous with his time, help, and advice. I'll miss him. My sincere condolences go out to his wife Sammye and their family.
