Left the Range

Post by Revolver Dude »

It is with heavy heart I announce the passing of Anthony Lynn Shultz. Lynn passed peacefully Tuesday morning according to his daughter. Lynn posted frequently on this site and went by 260 Striker.Lynn was a 41 year member of Logan Handgun Association and IHMSA. Lynn was not just a member he was an anchor for LHA being a club officer for most of those 41 years. President/Match Director/Vice President and Secretary, Lynn done it all. Lynn was instrumental in the growth and longevity of LHA. Lynn's passion for his club and IHMSA was unmatched. Lynn was also passionate when it came to Handgun Silhouette, reloading and experimenting with various firearms, calibers and loads. Most of Lynn's shooting took place in Ohio at local/state/regional and International matches. Lynn's shooting ability was on par with the best when he settled in on a particular gun and load combination. Lynn also served his country in the Air Force of which he was quite proud of and also worked at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton Ohio for 47 years. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his four children and Lynn will be deeply missed by his shooting friends at LHA and IHMSA. RIP Dear Friend.

This news saddens me greatly. Although Lynn and I never met "face to face", we had done some trading and shared many email conversations. I wish to express my sincere condolences to his family and friends. This past year has been a very trying time for us all - at least we can take comfort knowing that Lynn is enjoying his heavenly reward. We are all diminished by his passing - rest well ,my friend !! ------ Philip Braud

I’m saddened to hear this!
Lynn and I also bought and sold silhouette stuff with each other!
I met him once, but we kept up on this forum.
My condolences to his family.

Lynn made an impression on me first match at LHA in 1990.
Always smiling, always willing to help.
RIP my friend.

I did mage to snap a picture of him My 27th 2019 when he wasn't smiling, probably reacting to something stupid I said. Image

Told wife she's lucky IHMSA is my mid life crisis, it's cheaper than a Corvette or chasing younger women!

I never met him face to face but he help me like others to get started by helping get the thing I needed we emailed almost weekly during that time. The year I went to Tusco I was hoping he would be there so I could shake his hand sadly it didn’t happen
