Allow me to introduce Bruce N. Robinson, inventor of the Mil-Dot Master, founder of Goodies For Grunts. Bruce passed yesterday while resting comfortably in his home surrounded by family, friends and his dogs. As another friend put it, "Bruce is a truly unique individual, a life long supporter of the shooting sports and one of the best friends some of our military folks around the world have ever known!"

Over the past year and a half, he had collected donations from all over to buy things for front line troops that they could not just go to the PX and get, providing much needed comfort and a little taste of home to our boys. He never took a dime of the donations to pay for shipping and was instrumental in helping a few other organizations such as Adopt-A-Sniper get off the ground.

Sorry this is not Africa related, but this forum gets the most exposure. Please remember Bruce and his family in your prayers, as he was truly a great man.

Please excuse my ignorance on the subject. What animal is he holding upin the photo? Without the tail it could be a dassie, but with the tail it is obviously not one. What is it?

We call them Ground Hogs, or Wood Chucks, depending on where you live. Common East of the Mississippi river. They burrow into the ground, often near the edges of cultivated fields. As you see, they can get some weight on them.

I'm so sorry he died young. The Mil-Dot Master is an amazing piece of kit.
