I know a retired green beret who might run a nods class if we can find a range. |

I know a retired green beret who might run a nods class if we can find a range. That sounds very serious. Im just there for the LARP and photos on the gram. |

I didn’t go in 2025 because the prices – I went to all of them prior and it seems like every single year the price goes up and up. It was $62 in 2022, $140 in 2023, $170 in 2024, then last year it was $225. Now it’s $250.  I have a 50-350 yard range on NE Ohio I can go to whenever to shoot at night for basically $0… so I really only was going to ECNS to hang and see merch and wear silly armor. I wish ECNS had a sort of spectator non-shooter pass just so you could visit booths and/or shoot during the day. I’ll just have to make it to the next Big Bore Blast. |

The range management told me numerous times I should raise my prices, because admission was the same or less than their open range days. That being said, I do love ECNS and I wouldnt be putting on the Big Bore Blast without the NV6 guys and their inspiration |

Last year it was buy their ammo or don't shoot the range. Btw I'm in NE Ohio and like to shoot at night

I've been shooting with the NV6 guys for a number of years in Pittsburgh and love what they have done for the community, especially since it's so close to home for me. Everything is getting expensive and unfortunately some of the stuff I enjoy the most is getting priced out. |
