APEXgunparts Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 This is a topic of discussion over on the 1919A4 forum.Apparently coming from several trusted sources, including one friend who confirmed it when speaking to Kenny.We talked to Gina a month or so ago and were told details of the show would be released in July.Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 Been wanting to go to one.. that would be sad if it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Uzi Posted June 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 Id called Gina last week asking if it was on and she confirmed there would be a shoot in Oct and she was putting together the info for dealers, shooters, etc. no mention of it being the last one but who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoscoeTurner Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 Confirmed this story a couple of hours ago. Have not received a reply with the reason for the decision. I suspect that having cancelled three so far they learned that they didn't need the extra work and hassle to put it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Uzi Posted June 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 I have that feeling too. Less stress, morons, and bullshit and seeing they made it thru with no shoot in 18 months is my guess. Its really sad as its not so much the shoot that Ill miss, but its the show, walking around and never knowing what treasure youll find, but most important its seeing my friends which I only get to see 2-3 Times a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1921A Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 I talked to Gina today and she confirmed October will be the last shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper28 Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 I also called KCR today and they told me this will be the final shoot. Lets make it a good one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Uzi Posted June 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 I might have to try and call in a favor to see if I can get my dad on the main line as his plan is to pull the pin on his retirement the day we leave to come down. Ill bring some belt feds for him to shoot, just need a spot.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeRanger Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 So where are the other big machinegun shoots?Are any within reach of those of us in the Great Lakes states? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxfaxdude Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Big Sandy is the other big machinegun shoot in the US. It's held in Arizona near Kingman in March and October every year. Big Sandy probably has 3 or 4 times the number of shooters, the line is much larger and more relaxed than KC (spectators can walk right up to it) and they have 10 to 12 or more live-fire artillery pieces, sometimes a half track (or 2) and often a tank or 2. The shooting distances range from 50 to 600 yards or more. Less vendors, but some ammo sales with hard to find tracers usually at a good price.

APEXgunparts Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 The notices from Knob Creek are starting to be delivered in the mail.I guess that is why the participants on the east coast knew the story before us people living in the "cowboy states"I am going to miss visiting with the people that I would only see at the show.Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timkel Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Sad to hear. Knob Creek was legendary. This is no KC but it gets bigger and better each year.https://www.shootersgauntlet.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland the Thompsongunner Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 The only problem with shooters gauntlet is the shooting distance is very short its more a sub gun distance range. I know this is probably done on purpose to minimize stray rounds. Its way too short for some of the bigger stuff being shot there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ordnanceguy Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 Yup, it's gonna happen. The October 2021 shoot will be the last dance. Very sad news. Watching the night shoot of the belt fed guns with tracers was unforgettable. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grease Gunner Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Maybe that WGBLLC (huggytree) will go there and buy up all the machineguns. He is a new class 3 who boasts he knows the market and he has $$$ for your Full Autos.He says he is the next Ruben, MWT Edited June 15, 2021 by Grease Gunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranger1385 Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 I have attended many gun shows over the years, but never attended this one. I figured I would go to this one and take my younger son. Any tips or things to see? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
