1st Annual Piney Woods Machinegun Shoot

[ThePsychologist]

I picked up a brochure/flyer/pamphlet at Noonday Guns yesterday telling about the May 15 (Armed Forces Day) event scheduled at Barber Ranch in Big Sandy , TX. Appears to be a Charity event. Is anyone going to this ?

Looks like a good event to attend, sucks for me though since I am only 19, oh well I wouldn't be able to go anyways since I would be at work.

I have this feeling I wouldn't want to pay their ammo prices. . . .or the 40 bucks to fondle their gun.

Looks like a fun time but a little more than I can aford right now.

Yes it will be expensive. A full auto AK-47 costs $17,000 . I may never get to own one but then again , who knows when I will ever have the chance to shoot one. I guess I just want to say "Yeah I shot a full auto 50 cal. " just once before I die.

I just called my friend and gave him the information. He and his Dad have several legal Class 3 items and they'd like to participate, too. We'll check it out and I'll post any info we get.

I'd love to participate but it's a 2 hour drive and they won't let you use outside ammo. I get the feeling that their ammo will be expensive.

i have shot a full auto 50...and it is fun but 100 rds goes real quick. glad it was uncle sam paying for the ammo

 

[Dualspringfields]

Yep 100 rds of .50 cal goes bigtime fast. I have called the number and cant really get an answer on the ammo prices. All I wanted to shoot was the .50 cal. I miss shooting that beast. They said they were/are looking for a vech. to shoot and blow up. So maybe if you have one that needs killed they would cut a deal with you on the ammo.

The prices of the ammo is going to be the same as Academy retail.

Man I've been wanting to do that forever, too bad I don't have the time or the money to do that right now. Does anybody know of any full auto shoots near Houston?

 

[ThePsychologist]

Oh No! Have you people seen the weather forecast? I have waited all month and saved $200 to spend shooting 308 Full Auto. I planned on making a video of myself shooting that gun to be played at my funeral and now they are predicting rain. Oh yeah I am pissed. Sometimes I think Mother Nature is a Democrat.

Looks like big fun

When you are running ammo through a $10,000 - 75,000 firearm ... you better be sure that they want to regulate what it eats.

The only way to be sure is to bring your own and let people buy it off you.

It was a lot of fun. Sure it was expensive but so is a cruise or a meal at an expensive restaurant. I went to the Suppressor/Silencer Shoot in Longview and it costs $25 just to walk in.I have heard of gun ranges that rent automatic guns and I hope to go to a few of those places in 2011.
