Coach

[Tanfodude]

It's sad to hear that we lost a good man to cancer last night. Not very many of you know him but he was a very big contributor to shooting sport. Will totally miss the guy and kinda regret that I didn't have the opportunity to visit him. Please pray for strength to Aron Bright's family.

I talked to him over the weekend. We knew it was going to be soon, but still it hit like a sledgehammer. I will miss you my friend. Prayers for his family.

I will greatly miss Aron Bright (Coach). Started training with Coach in 2015 and am honored to have known him/learned from him. Outstanding man who positively impacted so many.

RIP and God speed.

A matter of fact guy and a matter of fact coach in all things pistol. I am glad I have some video of one on one classes I took from him and was able to have other family members also take their first lessons from him. I will miss him and pray for his soul and his family.

I hate this. He gave so much to the sport. Goodspeed and prayers

Man. Didn't know he was battling cancer. I went to a few of the carry matches he hosted. Each one was excellent and he was always ready to help participants. It was in one of those competitions where I learned the importance of practicing weak-hand only shooting.

Always wanted to get some 1-on-1 training with him, sad I didn't get to. RIP Coach.

Coach will be missed dearly by many. I only had the opportunity to shoot with him a couple of times and can honestly say he was a really good dude. RIP and God Speed Coach

Sorry to hear this. I never met him, but he was a well-known and well-loved fixture on INGO. RIP Coach.

Wow, didn't know either! I had a training class or two with him. He did such a good job with the class my wife and some of her friends took a class as a night out type thing. They loved and thought he was great!

Prayers to his family.

I hate this.

This man could make you a better shooter without you even realizing it. I am honored to have taken many of his classes, as well as trained along side him in others. INGO and the shooting community as a whole lost a good one.

Man. What a gut punch. He was a great man that I respected VERY much. Ive trained beside him as well as under him. And when anyone would ask for an instructor, he was at the top of my list.

And like Clint Smith, he wasnt afraid to tell it like it is.

Damn.

We are diminished. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Took all his pistol classes, some more than once, just because he could teach! He even got me to a couple of matches before I moved. He ignited the fire in me again after I had almost given up the idea of being able to shoot well again.

His posts were always worth reading no matter the subject.

This truly is a sad passing.

Sad to hear this. I knew he was fighting it but then I saw him out shooting again. I had thought he was getting on top of it. RIP.

Took one of his classes several years ago, and saw his posts on INGO. I knew he mentioned it in this post: https://www.indianagunowners.com/threads/bft-bright-firearms-training.483505/ But didn't realize the magnitude of it.

I always liked seeing his truck parked out at Avon High School with his company info on the side and knowing at least somebody was getting an interesting education.

Very sad to hear this.

Man I hate to hear this. I knew he was battling cancer a while back, did not know for sure the severity but feared it wasn’t good. I met him years ago when I took his 2 day USPSA class at our club. Later I took others as well as some private lessons. Shot with him at numerous matches thru the years. He will be greatly missed by many.

RIP Coach

Our condolences to his family on their loss. They will be in our prayers.

I'm sure Aron would appreciate prayers from all for his wife and two children. I still can't believe it's real.. I knew what was going on and planned to see him on Friday. I assisted him with classes and learned so much from him. He was a great friend and mentor.. Rest in peace my cherished friend. This world is most certainly diminshed without you.

Stunned doesn’t begin to scratch the surface. Prayers to Coach’s family. Aron Was an outstanding trainer, he will be missed by all who knew him.
