Apparently, Remington no longer has any interest in sponsoring an event of this type so the days of a big corporate sponsor footing the bill for a "zombie" shoot are over for the foreseeable future. A change of venue may be inevitable at this point.

The first zombie outbreak was fun, too bad its gone downhill since then. If 7 is managed by the same guys from last year, expect zero miles/fucks to be given.

Outbreak Omega will not be back at Ahlmans. That I can assure everyone. And while I can't say much because things haven't been set in stone, something....cough cough........may be in the works for a similar shoot there.

What ever happened to S&R Resource Group and their SHTF shoot? What was the 2013 shoot like?

I will say, they put on a heck of a weekend with Shooters Roundup, where they can get in upwards of 7,000 people over the weekend, so a shoot similar to OO should be a piece of cake. I know they want to get away from the Zombie theme, and maybe make it more survivalist themed. |

Was only disappointed ONCE. This past year. It wasn't the prizes, it wasn't the folks who attended... It was the almost complete lack of "zombiness". I didn't go there to shoot plain steel plates. I went to shoot fucking ZOMBIES. When you just rehash, badly, the last years props.... You can't bloody well claim to be "new and improved". Period. |

Perhaps not entirely in the community but it certainly seems that way in the industry. The feedback I have heard is that major players/manufacturers are sick of it. It appears obvious that the days of hydro dipped factory weapons has come and gone. |

Trivia bit: Was originally supposed to be "Death's Corpse". In 1990, none of the BBS systems I was logging in to allowed space or punctuation. Dead Corpse was born from that... Nothing to do with zombies... |

I am still a "Zombie" fan, but I'll agree that it's getting old in the shooting community. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy the idea.

The demand has not been there. Many of the "Zombie" hydrographic weapons sat on the shelves while the conventional camouflage weapons continue to sell. I have seen them recently marked down 25% and still not sell. |

Even when you start marking it back down again? Ok...  You do realize that the economy has been kinda shitty the last couple years, right? That most of the "panic buys" are over for now? I think folks not buying "zombie themed" gear is less of an interest indicator than how many people showed up this past event despite the inflated price tag. |

It's as simple as any event needs a theme. Weather the theme is zombies or post apocalyptic or survival preparedness if the theme didn't get the people's attention there not going to come... zombies sound fun. Shtf sounds fun you don't want to intimidate the average Joe with high end tactical training. Our put them in a competitive event But meet them somewhere in between.
