Title: Very Sad news today
Post by: BR SHOE on March 26, 2025, 05:48:07 PM
I spoke with Dave Abbott today he informed me our beloved Robb Maclennan passed away this afternoon. Not only a great shooter but a beloved and respected part of our family I have no details at this point but will relay them when I know. I will say that there was nothing gave me more pleasure in life than not only shooting with Robb but also spending time at his shop or in the basement. I will never replace those memories. The last couple years his fight with health inspired me personally more than anyone will ever know.

Certainly tough news to hear for everyone who knew Rob. He made an impact on a lot of people in BR and will be missed far and wide.

Sad day indeed. Your mark will never be forgotten.  I still have 3 of your unchambered barrels that I hope will hum a tune to victory.....RIP Rob

I don't have many pictures of Rob, he wasn't that fond of having his picture taken.

None the less here he is at the 2017 BRSC Nationals in Selkirk, in the yellow short for those that didn't know Rob.

Here is Rob is is in the lower right at a BBQ we had in Holton Michigan for the 2018 NBRSA Nationals.

If anyone else some pictures and would like to post them, please feel free to post them, or send them to me to be posted.
