Non-Gunny goes to Knob Creek

Decent article on Knob Creek

Finally, a place where people want to shoot from the hip

Gotta love the author's wife, "Oh, come on, you can't come all the way here and not shoot something."

Key quote:

For the record, while certainly participants in a unique hobby, most of the owners and dealers didn't appear to be anarchist nuts or "gun culture" extremists. I suspect you'd find the same level of fanaticism among serious Hummel collectors, "Star Trek" enthusiasts or even college basketball fans.

They were extreme about safety, though.

Ahhhhhhh....Knob Creek. Say it with me Knob Creek.

Pretty decent article. Spring shoot is not that far off. If you haven't been, you need to go.

I can't remember my first Knob Creek machine gun shoot. I used to live about 30 minutes away and shot there often.

I don't recall ever seeing a bad article about it. how can anyone attend a MG shoot and not like it?

Nicely written! He used artistic language without using the all the tired old lines with negative connotations.

BTW, last year the Wall Street Journal ran a similar (positive) article written by one of there staff members.

I am going to have to try and make it to that shoot someday. It is kind of a ways away, but I bet it is a ton of fun!
