If my buddy backs out of going hunting this weekend and he might, then I'll be at this event. I'm just going to be a free loader though and don't plan on buying anything. I just to want to shoot stuff.

I really need to be a free loader myself and just shoot stuff.... you know , research. Hope the event “discounts” are not tempting enough!

 

[majormadmax]

Seriously considering...

I went last year. It was so crowded, i could not enjoy it.

I was concerned about that.

They claim they've "increased the size of our main range and added a second range to allow additional demonstration tables;" but I have the feeling that will only increase participation.

However, there is a particular suppressor I would like to see and even possibly shoot before purchasing.

I guess I'll have to see how I feel Saturday morning before I make the 80+ mile drive each way!

Well I'm out on this. I hate crowds and I'd rather shoot at running pigs anyway. Seems like a cool event though and maybe I will attended one when suppressors are not taxed. I don't support the NFA at all, so those are off the table here until further notice.

Well damn - Just saw this. I'm going to go - but it will be in the afternoon. Last time I went to one of these things was at ETTS - had a freaking ball. Where's @Joshua - Capitol Armory - brought cans a long time ago to Hicksville.

Wish I could go but I’m stuck out of state. Sounded like fun.

 

[majormadmax]

Here. Not crowded at all!

That’s awesome, figured it would be packed!

I only stayed for about an hour. I had one particular company and suppressor I wanted to try. That took 20 minutes or so of standing in line, but I had a great conversation with two guys from Killeen. I got to shoot three rounds but it was on the same length barrel I have, so it allowed me to hear how loud it was without hearing protection. Still loud, but a lot more tolerable; plus I am sure it would be quieter with subsonic ammo (they were using Winchester White Box). The one I was looking at was 5% off MSRP at this event, but I didn't want to buy just yet and I'd rather go through a local shop...

Beautiful day out here. LOTS of stickers to be had.
