I emailed expressing my dissapointment and stated I would be contacting NRA HQ in DC. This is the email I received from from the Executive Director Joshua Adams. I'll post my reply, I fired back with both barrels, but politely, lol.
There are many factors that came into play in regards to the closure of Coal Canyon for competitive shooting, fire danger being one of them.
To be clear, the NRA Whittington Center did not cancel any Sporting Rifle Matches. The NRA Whittington Center provided a viable alternative location for the Sporting Rifle Matches to continue, however it was the match director that made the decision to cancel the remaining matches for 2018.
As a police officer, I would hope that you would want to hear both sides of the story before rushing to judgement. Now that you do know the actual facts, please assist us with disseminating the truth, and not hearsay, to others that may have received misinformation.
Thank you for your inquiry,
Joshua Adams
Executive Director
NRA Whittington Center
