Just a few highlights for guns you'll likely see on the firing lines.

Big Guns
-M3 37mm anti-tank gun (possibly 2 again this year)
-25mm pateaux anti-tank gun
-75mm pack howitzer
-37mm Bofors AT gun
-20mm Carl Gustav recoilless rifle
-14.5mm KPV autocannon
-Anzio 20mm Vulcan rifle
-MK19 40mm automatic grenade launcher
-50, 60, and 81mm mortars
-RPG-2

Machineguns (just a fraction of what will actually be there)
-M134 minigun on a humvee (possibly multiple miniguns on the line)
-Stoner 63
-M240/Mag56
-Vickers
-Maxims
-1919a4
-M2HB and M3AC 50BMG

And many many more. You really never fully know what is going to show up. Last year we had quite a few exciting surprises. Like the KPV and MK19. So bring your cameras.

And next year will probably be even better again.

Any word on updated price list for Washington County machine gun rentals this year?  I need to know how much cash I have to gut out of my bank account to shoot a few cool guns again this year.

Redacted Arms just confirmed they are doing the same and will have super safeties for sale. Bengles Bullets, AZAO, and possibly some others will have 40mm/RPG stuff to demo as well.

Dropped off a few more targets the other night.



Here is a picture of the 100yd range that will be open for attendees to use throughout the day. We will have a car downrange for shooting, as well as some other targets. Perfect for those that didn't get a reserved spot on the main firing line.

I'll be there.  Anyone else i know going?  I'm not good at making new friends.  



ETA

I'll be in a hoodie or something with my YT on it.  My logo looks just like the ARFcom BFL so I should be easy for this crowd to spot.

The last couple cars I bought have been delivered to the range.

Big thanks to my buddy Andrew at Aurora Defense in Elyria OH for working the logistics for the vehicle targets. He definitely helped make this possible. If you see him at the shoot, thank him for his help.

Make sure your waivers are completed so you dont get turned away at the gate. https://waiver.smartwaiver.com/w/59b1a4526be97/web/ take a screenshot of your verification email

If you haven't bought a ticket at bigboreblast.com before the shoot, bring cash for entry. Cell/internet service is terrible sometimes so we are not going to rely on it.

For those that didn't get a chance to be on the shooting line, there was a pretty rare pistol there.

Not only do I suck at editing, I also hate it so just a few shorts for now until I get some editing done.


I don't know this guy, but his kid is pretty lucky and really excited to run the M2 with my POV camera.  Hopefully somebody can sent this to him or his kid.

I picked up a couple 50 cal AP steal core penetrators that were laying on the ground during one of the cease fires.  
Crazy to think they went through a car, bounced off the canyon wall and landed on the ground with no deformation.

I knew there were other ARFcom'ers I'd miss.  Bet we were not far from each other.

I'm glad I'm not the only person to have that exact thought.  Super cool.  I got one for me and one for my boy.

Here is a fun picture. The 55gal drum in the red circle was the mortar target. All those divots in the circle are mortar hits from the competition.

This was as close as we got. Considering the short range Circular Error Probability for mortars is 35-50m everyone did really well.

This should be the same link as was in the email. You should be able to upload any photos or videos you have

https://photos.app.goo.gl/UNEGCuWdd5fQnWWj8

At the bottom of your screen there should be a photo+ icon to add pictures to the album.
