    I saw a post by Steve Carmichael reporting the sad news that Dan Bonillis has passed away.
    He didn’t have any other information at this time.

    Sad news about one of the greats in the sport. He was THE MAN during the Golden Years

    What a loss for the shooting community!

    He had an uncanny knack for remembering your name even after not seeing you for several years.
