In the long term, tax stamps and prostitutes are cheaper.

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.

Bring your own guns and ammo, shoot safe in the bays, etc. This seems more like just vendor-centric event. Like a mini SHOT show with limited pay-to-shoot. |

Our last event was two days and everyone said it was too long. Most people only showed up for one day or the other anyway, so it just drug things out for the vendors and staff working the event. I wouldn't complain about it growing into a longer event in the future, but the goal is one great day for this year |

Ticket purchased. 3.5 hours from me. I’ll probably get a hotel for Friday night so I don’t have to get up too early on Saturday. Edit to add: @NvrBrdWes the order confirmation email states "Download a digital file - Items available for immediate download after completion of payment" There is no link or attachment to download. Is our receipt the ticket? |

We wanted to share an update regarding Gunstock 2026. After working through the planning process, we've decided to postpone this year's event due to some logistical challenges that would prevent us from delivering the experience we want for everyone attending. Rather than rush it, we're going to take the extra time needed and bring Gunstock back next year. A new date is still being determined, and we'll share details as soon as they're finalized. Anyone who has already purchased a ticket will receive a full refund. We know many of you were looking forward to the event, and we appreciate your understanding and support. We're excited about what we're building and look forward to making next year's Gunstock worth the wait. Stay tuned for updates! |

I don't know what will happen, or if anything will happen. But if something does, I'd rather be the guy with a gun than the guy without one.
