ETA - 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! Event Hours: 9am-6pm Saturday October, 3rd. Location: Mission160 Range 6040 Highway 160 Whitewright, TX 75491 https://www.ar15.com/gunstock/ |

We'll have more info in the coming months. |

9 hours from me  I'd really like to make it, but I'll need to see what I'm doing much closer to the day. Is there camping on site? |

Oh well, at least it keeps me from an 8 hour round-trip. |

| I'm actually surprised they're allowing FA. They just allowed rifle caliber less than a year ago and you have to be personally vetted/certified to shoot it, along with some specific range restrictions. |

For the love of god and all that is holy, please someone in charge reach out to me so we can discuss how to improve marketing from the dismal failure of the previous go at this. Seriously. I'd like to be a part of this, I do not want to drive 1600 miles to have a magnificent location, wonderful well thought out setup, fantastic fellow vendors, just to hang out with said vendors and discuss why we are hanging out instead of talking to actual potential clients, again. |
In the long term, tax stamps and prostitutes are cheaper.

Announcing it WAY earlier is step 1. Feel free to DM me with any marketing ideas you have or email [email protected]. Happy to discuss how we can learn from the last event and make this one WAY better! |

Is this a marketing thing or group get together? Is it just meant to be a vendor range day/weekend? |

I've got several months to think about this. I want a big hangout, around a campfire. I'll figure something out. It's literally in my neighborhood.

If you have an ideas, I'd be down to have a chat about it. Especially since we're just doing a one-day event, it should be easier to coordinate |

I want a big hangout, around a campfire. I'll figure something out. It's literally in my neighborhood. Just an idea. Could we take over a homeless camp under an overpass somewhere close? We could have a big ass bonfire. As long as we brought along some pot needles and a couple cases of MD 20/20 the locals should welcome us. We could even show them the wizardry of NODs. |

Interdasting. A one-day event in bumfuck Grayson/Fannin Co seems a bit weak for gathering and attracting a large number of vendors and attendees. Make it a three-day weekend with camping accommodations maybe, evening events, etc... are there even any hotels close to there without trekking back to Sherman or McKinney? |
