This event is a public event intended to get kickass products into the hands of as many shooters as possible and help spread the word on social media via my invited media guests! We had 30 attending companies with products from flamethrowers, silencers and firearms to integrally suppressed air rifles, accessories and everything in between! This event was held over two days with Media Day being a closed event where the vendors and invited media could mingle and have a good time. The calm before the storm!

On day two we opened the gates to the public and it was non-stop fun! We had young and old alike, shooting next to each other. From parents teaching their children the importance of safe shooting and trigger control, to veterans smiling from ear to ear reminiscing during a full auto mag dump!

We had 400 members of the public show up to try out the 30 different vendors products and combined with the vendors/employees and media we had close to 600 people on site!

We had periods of suppressed only fire where one could remove their ear pro and walk around testing all the manufactures new silencers! Then we would take the cans off, go cold, let USA Chemical Supply repopulate the field using the 1600lbs of binary they brought and get to it again! All day!

Towards the end of the day we held the raffle and called the wining ticket for 36 lucky winners who went home with very generous prizes that were donated by the attending vendors! A side note, I called about 8 tickets that I had to pass up because that person had left the event early.... it pays to stay!

To wrap up the day we broke a record with a 500lb explosion! And USA Chemical Supply will break that again in September!

A big thank you to everyone who contributed towards the event! And for @Gunsdaily (Instagram) and IV8888(YouTube & Full30) for the drone footage! The next shoot will be in September, don't miss it!

it had to be the best event i had ever been to, the people were amazing and very generous. i came from MN so i wasn't able to bring anything along but not only the vendors were open to allowing me to shoot, some of the guest were as well. shot the MP5 suppressed for the first time as well as the belt fed m240. all i can say is WOW what a day. and to top it all off i won a surge 7.62 from rugged surpressors 8) so for everyone that left early, i owe you a thank you :wink:

Thank you for putting this event together.
I had a great time meeting some of you and playing with the toys.
I didn't win anything in the raffle, but, found a couple of new suppressors that I may have to add to my collection.

A very nice time was had.

Again, thank you.

That sure looked like fun. I really wanted to make it but just couldn't get free, maybe next year.

I want a flame thrower. Those pigeons have really been pissing me off. Seriously though, I want a flame thrower.

I was disappointed I couldn't make it, but I'm holding out hope for September.

My wife and I went and had a great time, she has been showing the video of her shooting the flamethrower to everyone! It had many more people than I expected.

Based on how crazy the first live fire was, I feared we'd have little chance to shoot what we brought, but by noon most people were just watching and we got a lot of shooting in after noon. We brought our own ammo so we not only took more than our fare share of binary, but could go back to the vendors we liked with our own ammo to really get a feel for their products.

I really liked the suppressed only range sessions, but wished one was for subsonic only. It's hard to experience a 22 or pistol can with a belt fed 308 and row of semi auto rifles going crazy.

Range was nice, Range Officers did a good job of trying to keep it safe without making us feel "watched"

Most of the vendors were very generous with the raffle and although we didn't win anything it was still fun.

Please thank everyone who put effort into this, I think it was a big success.
