    Default RIP Bob McBride

    A small group of us got together at Twin Peaks last week to toast Bob's memory and tell some stories now that a year has gone by since his passing. If any of you ever attended a Colorado MG shoot, there's a good chance you ran into Bob. We'll miss him.

    RIP Bob McBride..
    I recall selling Bob some of his very first .50BMG stuff, (ammo and some equipment) when I had a table at a Tanner gun show many years ago. He had conducted some extremely helpful .50BMG clinics down at the NRA Whittington Center, Raton, NM and really helped us guys who were new to the sport of .50BMG. He had a lot of patience and was a great organizer and will be sorely missed big time. Again, RIP Bob.

    I first met Bob at a shoot when I was looking for information when I was building my 50.

    He was easy to get to know and work with. A really nice guy.

    The picture of Bob on the red ATV is my favorite. It has that grin.

    He sure gave a lot of himself to others.

    RIP.

    Yep, Bob finished my basement. Bob put Colorado on the NFA shooting map. I know folks that came from Australia to shoot at Bob's MG shoots.
