Some of our staff went down to the 2014 Spring Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot. We always go with a to-buy list of certain weapons and supplies. Here you will see some interesting highlights from the show. Mostly from the “gun-show” area.
If you have never attended before, I have a few suggestions:
1. Bring your fancy hearing protection if you have it. They have foam plugs but you will not be comfortable.
2. If you have a “truck”, don’t assume you can park in the grass UNLESS you have 4-wheel drive. You could quickly show everyone your truck needs to be rescued.
3. If you have ever wanted to fly in a helicopter, bring some extra money. They have constant UH-1 “Huey” rides going if the weather allows.
