does this go down every year? I think I want to go to this. How much money in ammo do you think was burned up here?  |

The line at KCR is really not very big. Tiny, in fact. The night shoot is fun, but I go for the gun show. Need a nut for the bolt that holds the water cap on a MG08? You can find one there.  This. the rental fees on most of the machine guns are pretty ridiculous (like $45- $60 for one 30 rd mag through an uzi or AK) but the gunshow is one of the best I've ever seen. |

I went to Knob Creek 3 times while I lived in KY. It's an interesting shoot, and the gun show is great. This was back in 2002-3, wish I'd bought a browning 1919 then - they were selling for $8k if you could pay cash. The night shoot is cool, back then the machine gun rentals weren't too bad - like $25 for a 30 round mag, $40 to run a 50 round belt through a GPMG. Buddy I went with once rented a flamethrower, a little too dangerous for me though. The night shoot was cool, and a guy had a minigun setup one time.
Worth a trip. |
| I attend this event every couple years, if you've never been, by all means go! Second weekend in April, second week in October. Just off route 44 near Westpoint (east fo Fort Knox) in Bullet county KY. As you walk in it sounds like a hard rain on a tin roof! If you want to shoot any full auto small arms (at the small arms range) it will run you around $40.00 per clip.The night shoot is the main event of the day, better than any special effects you've ever seen in any action flick. Be advised though, they don't let anybody up on the roof of the range building to view the shoot. This put you above the firing line and allowed a better view of what was happening downrange, now you have to stand at ground level behind a fence behind the shooters and maybe one or two rows of spectators. Anyway by all means GO! |

From what I have heard on other boards, lots of FA enthusiasts are not happy with the way things are being run at KCR. Big Sandy seems to get bigger every year. LC |
