And we'll be happy to have you. Camping isn't bad there either. They have a shower house with bathrooms. But I've also gotten a decent motel 10min away for like 80 bucks or less.

Hopefully, if this event keeps going, I'll be moving a little closer to the area or have enough land of my own to host it.

Yeah. About 8 for me. I'm still excited for the event.

I'm also working on getting a couple target vehicles since we have a number of big guns wanting to come.

There should be some stuff there that you may not see anywhere else. It'll be a good time, rain or shine.

We basically have the whole quarry area for our event. In addition to the competition, we should have a pretty great line-up of artillery coming to shoot. Which only makes me more excited and motivated to organize this.

WCMG plans on bringing their flamethrower, minigun, and bowling ball mortar(and maybe more) to do some demos as well. My guys will have our MG rental booth in a side bay. The auxiliary bays could be utilized if we have enough range safeties. We will see about that.

The Roger's reactive range and the 700yd precision range may be open as well, if SHC wants to staff them. I think they will, but I haven't confirmed it yet.

The schedule is tentative. And the range will be hot as much as possible throughout the day. The mortar competition will be the only interruption as we'll need to score the hits up close. But that will be a good break for non-competitors to get lunch








I'm working on the ticketing website while I wait to get some more confirmations. So stay tuned and reach out if you have any specific questions

Done. Now you got me buying supplies and printing parts for up to 20 rpg projectiles. I’m also going to be bringing some 20 ga slugs and m183a1 projectiles to shoot out of the 20 ga trainer.

I have a few friends among the unwashed masses without a DD. Any chance they could shoot a 40mm if they purchase the ammo? Any going to be available to rent? If so, where would be the best to purchase? A 10 pack of chalk rounds from AZAO? Trying to push them over the edge to buy one.

My 2 launchers will be at the rental booth or an auxiliary range for people to try out. And I'm sure there will be plenty of others.

We already have 3 other 40mm competitors signed up

AZAO and Washington County MG both sell 40mm Ammo and are both planning on being at the shoot. So you could probably work out a pre-order with them to have ammo delivered at the shoot and save on shipping.

I'll probably have some available as well. But it just depends on how much I have at the time.

If they want to be a mortar team, they can use my 81mm in exchange for an RPG shot.

Bumping this to the top with some additional info.

The facility's 700yd precision rifle range and their Roger's reactive pistol range(pop-put steel targets) will be open and available for use. If a spectator wants to use those ranges, they'll need to pay the $40(50 total) shooter range fee to the facility instead of the $20(30 total) spectator fee.

The 700yd range has some requirements. It's a precision range and not just a general blasting range. So make sure you check the SHC website for those requirements and restrictions.  The Roger's range has only permitted certain ammo in the past. But last time we were there they let everyone shoot FMJ so who knows.

I find this thread interesting.  I haven't fired 40mm or mortars since I was in the army, and today my M203 was approved.  Looking at the map, it's a 10 plus hour drive.  I'll have to give this a little thought.
3/17/2025 11:01:34 AM EDT

Update.

Currently we have a couple 37mm AT guns and a 25mm that are registered to attend, mortars from 50mm to 4.2inch, and almost a dozen 40mm shooters so far.

Lots of interest from some other big guns, so expect to see some exciting updates when we get closer to the event.

Got some new stuff in yesterday.  Might have to try one of these out during the shoot.

Another small update.

Currently have 12 shooters registered for 40mm and 7 for mortars. I'm sure we'll have more register when we get closer, but even if we don't, I'll be happy both that many. So thanks to all that have registered so far.

I did. Unfortunately I think it's too late for us to change the date with how many people have registered.

It's the same truck that was at ECNS if anyone was there as well. So we know it's delicious

If you want cheap, I've stayed at the "Falls Inn" in Newton Falls and it was one of the better motels I ever stayed in. Nothing fancy but it was cheap and clean. About 10min or less from the range. There are some others in the area as well. Holiday Inn across the street for a little more $

Thanks for posting your list Tredd!

The ChevTec crew will also have a MG booth with the following available.

Sten mk3 suppressed
Stribog sp9a1
PPS43 (9mm)
PM-63 rak
VZ-61 skorpion
AR-9mm
UZI 9mm
M4 10.5" suppressed
Glock 19
RPD carbine
AK
And possibly a couple others depending on what I finish building in the next month.





Also, if anyone has any junk vehicles or items to bring as targets, let me know and I'll hook you up with some MG rentals to compensate.

Fo anyone in need, sherluk will have some.tables set up with the following items for sale. I believe you can purchase ahead of time and pick up at the event.


m69 training round $45 each
WWII style M49E3 $45 each
Later M720 type $15 each

M69 and M49A3 rounds include tail piece. M49A3 does not have top or fuse


I got a couple of the m49s from them recently and printed some dummy fuzes for them, and will be making some point detonating fuzes as well

Hahaha. I should have @'d the whole ECNS crew.  

I talked to Pete the range manager yesterday.  He said Roger's range got messed up by lightning, so they've been rebuilding it and 3 of the lanes are 22lr only now. But they have tx22s for people to use. The other lane is frangible rounds only. Hopefully they change their minds again.

No night shoot on the schedule for this event. But it is a high probability for next year. It was just too much for the first event. It's already grown a lot more than initially planned

As we're getting closer to this, my wife is having me set aside the "correct" amount of money I should bring as opposed to me just telling her I'll need money for rentals.

Do we have a break down of what folks will be charging per weapon?

Also, is there a flat minimum age that a minor can shoot a rental or does it depend on the owner of the rentals?

My 12 year old is looking forward to this. Been having him shoot since he was 4.

MG rentals will be roughly $1/rd for subguns at the ChevTec booth. $20-30/mag depending on size and caliber. The 10.5" suppressed M4 and beltfed RPD will be a little more. 30rd mags for the m4, 50 and 100rd belts for the rpd. Kids will depend on their size and which gun they shoot, for safety purposes. Parents must be present of course. At our booth, kids get a heavy "first mag discount" so be sure to stop by. If you have certain guns you'd like to shoot of ours, we may also do a bundle discount. Feel free to message me with what you'd like ahead of time.

WCMG stuff will likely be a little more since they have more expensive guns and more expensive ammo. But we wanted to have a lot of options for people. I. Sure he will chime in, but I think it was about $2/rd for most fo the beltfeds with a minimum belt size. Like 200rd min belt for the minigun, for example.

This definitely helps me come up with some numbers to run by the wife. I'll take a look at what ya'll have to offer with him and see what he'd be interested in. Neat yall have a first round mag discount for kids.
