Got this yesterday.
Managed to make it down for the last 3 years
Definitely the most fun I've had at an event, and I hope it continues.
"To all the competitors and friends I have met and enjoyed time with throughout the last eighteen years I am writing to inform you that I have stepped down as chairman of the Walls of Steel program. This was a heartbreaking decision but one I believe to be necessary.
It was because of all of you I invested so much of my time and effort into the Walls of Steel program and Wallum Lake Rod & Gun Club in general. In 2006 the groundwork for Walls of Steel commenced. I started construction of the ranges, began manufacturing targets and worked to prepare and collect all the peripheral items and infrastructure required to run a Walls of Steel match.
We held our first Walls of Steel match in 2007, which was an immediate hit, and we have never looked back. As the popularity of the match format grew so too did the Walls of Steel program. Over the next several years Mini Walls and Fall Walls matches were added. In addition, we also put on matches in several other formats such as Pro-Am, practical shotgun, multi gun and PCC and on Sundays we held head-to-head matches when the calendar allowed.
Throughout the years it has been my pleasure to have met so many great people and it was my honor to work alongside the absolute best group of people I know. Their hard work and dedication are what made the Walls of Steel program the success it has become. I don’t know what will happen with the program in the future but if you have any questions please direct them to

Thank you all for the friendships, the laughs, the memories and the fun times. Be safe out there and I hope to see you all again... someday, somewhere. Respectfully,
Jim Richardson"
