Cooper Passes Away

Like him or hate him, a pioneer in combat pistol-craft has passed away. While I don't agree with everything Cooper has said, I recognize that the shooting world was made better because of him - without his influence, there would be no such thing as "Practical Shooting" and for that, I am grateful.



Col. Jeff Cooper...A Giant Has Fallen

At the request of the family it is my sad duty to report the passing of our founder, Jeff Cooper. Jeff died peacefully at home this afternoon while being cared for by his wife Janelle and daughter Lindy.

There will be a private internment at Gunsite by invitation, with a public memorial service at the Whittington Center at a date to be announced.Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
