The Dog Days of Summer! Whew . . . It’s been a hot July. But the Gunsite Family stood strong despite the record temperatures. I don’t know how much Gatorade we went through, but it had to be a record. During all this, the staff also moved into the new Gunsite Executive Offices. The AC in the old office was failing and the last two weeks in there, the temperature was in excess of 90 degrees. But, just as the students in the heat, the staff stood strong! When you drive through the gate, you will see the old Gatehouse is gone (It was re-purposed by the demolition company) and the … [Read more...]
Gunsite July Newsletter
Independence Day has come and gone. We hope the family celebrated long and loud as the Republic celebrated year 247. (Just think – Gunsite’s 50th and America’s 250th will be celebrated in 2026!) Life at Gunsite is fast apace. Really, much faster than that. The construction is a long-time dream here and very exciting. The new Instructor Bunkhouse is open. The old bunkhouse is scheduled for demolition beginning July 17. The new Pro Shop and Office may be occupied by mid-August followed by the new bathroom and shower. We will have a new first at Gunsite Saturday July 15 from … [Read more...]
Gunsite June Newsletter
Another month has flown by here at Gunsite. The busier we are, the faster the weeks go by. We continue to have record months of student attendance. We cannot get the new facilities completed quick enough. The new larger bathroom and shower passed another inspection this week and the roof should go on in the next few days. The bunkhouse is getting fine-tuned and should receive certificate of occupancy yet this month and then the first big move happens. Once we occupy the new Office and new Pro Shop, there is some talk of the Great Gunsite Garage Sale. (Well, OK, parking lot sale.) … [Read more...]
Gunsite Mid-May Newsletter
Apologies for the tardiness of our monthly newsletter but saying it has been a whirlwind of work here is not accurate. More like a Midwest tornado. Grab a coffee or beverage, as this one is a bit longer than usual. The young and lovely Mrs. Campbell and I returned from our Caribbean Cruise (although if you followed on social media, I did do some work from the back of the boat. OK, the bar, smoking cigars, but doing work emails and some other writing.) Back a week and Shari (Campbell), Shari (LeGate), Buz and I were off to NRA for almost a week. Grand to be back in my old area of … [Read more...]
Gunsite April Newsletter
March flew by like the high winds at Gunsite yesterday. (50+ mph gusts). We persevered with classes despite losing power for several hours. If you follow us on Facebook, I've begun a new contest. Send us a photo of where you are that also shows the Gunsite Raven sticker. (Hat, shirt, tattoo, etc.). It must be a current photo, not one of several years ago. My farthest one was St. Lucia this week. Once I decide when the contest concludes, I'll use Google maps to determine how many miles as the Raven flies for furthest distance and send a fun prize. So, send me those pics! This week … [Read more...]
