You have NO idea!

Lets see, about 15,000 people a day for three days, $10 to get in and they do it twice a day so thats $1.3 million in just entrance fees right there. Then they charge a fee to all the vendors and there are easily 100+ vendors and I think the fee is about $150 PER TABLE and some vendors use 10+ tables. Then there is the fee to have a spot on the main line. The wait list to get on the main line is 10-15years! So yeah, it doesnt come cheap. I wouldnt be surprised if they gross over $2,000,000 a year off this event.

We are only a little over 2 months away from the Spring Shoot!

That is crazy and awesome. I can't believe I have never heard of it before considering I only live a few hours away.

Ive spent a few hours at knob creek. Luckily my friends grandfather took care of the bill cause in ammo alone it was a pretty penny. Pretty awesome for sure.

You should, no other event like it in the world! Bring some big $$$ and you too can join in on the fun! Prices of machine guns have dropped a bit in the last year or so.

M-16s are back down to $12-14K. Ive even been seeing MAC-10s in the sub $3k range!

Not like you can just walk up and buy one..........lots of paparework and time involved.

You know I know that!

Actually its not really alot of paperwork. Here is a Form 1

And here is a Form 4 (what most MGs are on).

As you can see they are not much different then the 4473, but you do have to fill each one out twice. However they do take awhile, 2-3 months.

I just filled out a Form 1 one myself...sadly not for FA though since I cant afford one. I will have to settle for the next best thing.
