I'm not sure when the takeover happened with MRC, so I don't know what is a reasonable time for major changes to take effect. I do know Ron Petty. I flew helicopters with him in Vietnam in the old days.
After Ron completed his tour in SEA, he returned to Fort Benning, Georgia as a member and instructor on the Army rifle team. He was ranked #2 in the world in the late 60s, so he is a rifle guy who should be able to make significant changes where they are needed. After he got out of the Army, he was a VP at Winchester, and a consultant for Norma ammunition. He knows his way around guns, hunting, and the industry.
I think if he is given the time and resources to make it better, MRC will be one of the best. As hunters and gun enthusiasts, we all need people like Ron in this industry. Even though we have become an "instant gratification society", let's give him a little time to work it out.
