Mike Raahauge passed away

Mike had been sick for a while, and he will be missed.

Love him or hate him, he did a lot for the shooting sports in So Cal.

Very sad to hear this, Mike was a great guy and a good neighbor. I always enjoyed his sense of humor. Joking with Mike and Pat is a high point of every visit, he'll be missed. RIP.

Awh, dang. I chatted with the r.o.'s more than him but I liked him & he runs a good range. Was thinking of going tomorrow too.

That guy could find me in a crowd of houndreds of people and chat my ear off, He will be truly missed. RIP.

That really sucks. Like stated above, the man did a lot for the shooting community and for the community in general. My condolences to his family.

That sucks!! Mike was a cool dude.

I haven't been out there for a while due to the "panic" crowds. It was getting ridiculous with all the new shooters. I hope Pat can keep the dream alive.

never met him, dont know anything other than having a range. Was he just an avid shooter that built his own range? Involved in politics? Might be nice if anyone that knew him long enough to fill us in.

Sent to me by a friend of Mikes.

“Mike Raahauge, a fixture in the shooting sports and hunting community has passed away. Mike's commitment to promoting shooting and encouraging hunting was monumental. His "Lets do it for the kids" attitude is easily validated by the sheer numbers of youth in Southern California who took their Hunter Safety course at Raahauge's. Below is a quick note from Andy McCormick who knew Mike well. God bless you Mike. We'll all miss you.

I am deeply saddened this morning to find out that a good friend and legend in Southern California has passed away.. Mike Raahauge.. Mike Raahauge will be missed dearly on a variety of levels from family, life long friends, the shooting sports industry, conservation efforts and fundraising etc ... Mike was always in the thick of it always there to offer up his support from his great facility to his personal involvement to make sure things got done .. Mike Raahauge was one of a kind .. to know Mike was to love him and if you truly knew him .. you were blessed to be able to call him your friend. Mike Raahauge, is responsible for more people going through Hunter Safety classes than anyone in the USA ! Period.. Mike and his staff have taken Hunter Safety participation to a whole new level as well as the stewardship of youth shooters and hunters across the board .. there is a long list of accolades that can be associated with Mike and his facility ... but Hunter Safety will be one of the ones that is remembered dearly that has touched thousands of hunters ... And as the Legacy continues with Patrick Raahauge and the team at the helm

I am sure the Legacy will continue with the same passion and desire to further the shooting sports and the education of youth...

Mike ... I love ya man ... god bless my friend. My thoughts and prayers are with the whole Raahauge Family ... Sincerely, Andy
