We lost Mke Rydquist this weekend...........

[bryan]

Mike's daughter Tiffany sent me an e-mail this morning. Mike died in a hunting accident over the weekend. He was very involved in Benchrest
competition in the New Mexico and Colorado areas a few years ago. He helped me a lot when I was starting, and I am sure he extended his
help to a lot of other new shooters. That was what made Mike tic.
I have no details, but none are required...............Many fellow shooters will miss him..............

Bryan,

Mike left the range way too soon. He hauled my butt down to Raton a few times when I first started shooting down there. I recall one time in particular after stinking the place up, we were heading back "up the hill" to Colorado and I felt lower then whale droppings. He looked over, laughed, and said something to the effect of "well hell, let's get a burrito", and we pulled over and found a couple at some Interstate dive. I don't know why, but that sort of put the thing in perspective. He also introduced me to Del Bishop which was a great experience. I have a feeling they're both at a heavenly range shooting screamers. Isn't that what a heavenly range is all about? He lost his wife a few years back, at least they're together again.

Thanks, Bryan.

RIP Mike..... Scott
