Hi ..
Just returned from Knob Creek, Kentucky last evening.
Had a great time at the shoot.
Rented a BAR, Thompson , MP-40 submachine gun and a M1919 belt fed .30cal machine gun.
Son rented several modern machine guns as well.
The afternoon shoot had a nice bonus as they rolled out three WWII vintage M5 Stuart light tanks and an anti tank gun and fired them repeatedly.
Great fun...
The night shoot was fun to see as well.
They shot up some drums filled with what I assume was gasoline.
Explosion was probably 100ft in the air with tracer rounds flying down range for about 20 minutes and star shells lighting up the range.
Had a great time.
Spent a lot of time perusing the on site gun shop. Very nice and well stocked...one of the bigger gun shops I have ever seen.
Spent some time looking around at the on site gun show as well.
Didn't buy anything of interest.
Just had a great time.
My son drove his Suburban for the trip...nearly 1300 miles for the round trip. It averaged a little over 14mpg...he paid for the gas and motel room for two nights. I paid for the tolls, meals and everything else. We each paid for our own machine gun rentals...about $200 each.
Made some good memories.
If my health allows, I believe we may go again sometime.
Only bad part was the long drive...we left at 5AM Friday morning and didn't get to the hotel until after 7PM.
Driving home Sunday...we left Louisville at 4AM and arrived back in York, Pa. at 4:30PM.
Road weary...
We got back in the Suburban and took my wife out to dinner and didn't get home until 8:00PM.
All in all...a great weekend!
Highly recommend the Machine Gun shoot to any forum member. It is worth the trip.
