It's only about an hour and change from raleigh so I think I'll be there. Can we bring our own guns to shoot as well (with silencerco cans)?

I'm not - too far - but two of my buddies from Charlotte are going up.

Ammo provided and chance to fire a subgun.  What's not to like?

for the Asheville store?

Three hour drive from Asheville, fill up a car/truck/microbus/hovercraft and come on out. I don't know about everyone else but I think this is going to be a hell of a lot of fun. Hell, just for the chance to meet UH_SALT in person. Star of stage, screen, and awesome zombie commercials on YouTube.

Old school.....

The 1911 or the guy shooting it?

I didn't have time, the IDPA match went until 2, and I was still 2 hours away. Did they have a Salvo to try? That's most likely my next purchase.

Things that I took away from the event…

- The Salvo was fun to shoot. After shooting it I don't think I'll be using my 8" rod kit. I wouldn't want to give up more suppression then I heard in the 12" full configuration.
- I definitely prefer the saker over the spec war as far as blowback and suppression goes on an AR.
- It was funny to see my friend's reactions to how "loud" suppressed 5.56 was once they got on the gun. From 10' away they were asking why I had plugs to shoot because it was "pretty quiet".
- I'm glad I have an Osprey45, but now I need a 1911 host. It balances very nicely on there.
- The suppressed AK was probably the most memorable thing we got to shoot, but also the loudest. Not sure I would build one for myself, but there was absolutely no gas to the face, which was very nice.
- Suppressed .22lr is still the most fun caliber to shoot with a can.
- 300blk is just plain fun. It also made me want an Omega now, even though I have an SDN6 for 300blk use.
- I wish I could have paid to put more rounds down range. I left with blue balls after shooting a few rounds through each can.
- The guys at War Sport are a class act.
- Carolina Guns and Gear has friendly staff and is only an hour from Raleigh. For $25 I think I'm going to be going back for a few range days soon.

If anybody has a place to shoot, and a pile of ammo...we can have our own SiCo shoot one day. The closer to Charlotte the better. I'll bring mine.

(Also thinking about an Omega and a 40Osprey in the next couple weeks)

When I pick up my Omega and a couple other cans from Scott in a couple of weeks.  I was going to ask if he wanted to go shooting.  I really want to try a FA lower on my .300blk.

We should line something up.

If there is a .338 can in that pile I would be interested. Guys there said it was rated for 338 lapua but not so sure about .340 Wby .Also would have to check my thread pitch.

Don't believe anything I have is rated for that. I have the Sakers and a couple YHM cans, but those max at 300RUM and .308 Win respectively. I do have my F1 cans, but don't believe I'd trust them for 338L.

My Omega plan is on a slight delay, but I think I have a YHM/Omega adapter coming soon.

Bigwaylon, you're not playing around, huh? Very nice.

I don't think I've got a suppressor family photo of my own, but I'm certainly down for a suppressor shoot. I have hosts, cans, and ammo, but no where to shoot.
