Machine Gun Shoot @ Knob Creek Gun Range

The Machine Gun Shoot @ Knob Creek looks like fun. Has anyone been before? Does anyone have plans to go this year? Trying to figure out if it's worth the drive.

Ive been several times. Its worth the drive if you like military style firearms.

I've been a bunch of times. The night shoot is really cool. It's like any other event, sometimes it's better than others, but there really isn't anything else quite like it. The sales area has a wide variety of items that you won't find other places. Be sure you have hearing protection. It gets loud. Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to be there a while. There's a lot to see and a lot of people you'll want to talk to. You'll love it or you'll hate it, but it's definitely something that should be on every gun lovers "bucket list".

I assume you don't get to shoot the full autos for just your $10.00 admission. Is this correct?

That's correct. You can pay additional to shoot.

I'll be there bright and early Saturday morning. Last year it was $35 a mag for full auto rifles, like a M16, but it depends on the gun. Its a great experience but don't bring any money you don't plan on spending! I went broke after last year lol

I've been several times, it is worth the drive, stick around for the night shoot, you won't be disappointed.

I'll be there again. We've got a group of guys that will be camping at O'Bannon Woods Friday night and Saturday night. Good times!

It is worth the drive. Get there as early as possible. Plan on doing a LOT of walking. Bring lots of money that you can spend and not feel bad about blowing. My wife spent a hundred bucks to ride the Huey helicopter, said it was the highlight of the weekend for her.

It's a lot of fun. Spring and Fall. Usually do night during spring because of turkey season. And day for the fall. Also, it's just outside of Louisville. If it has rained up to a couple of days prior, make sure you park someplace you can get out of.

Every gun nut should make at least one pilgrimage. Knob creek is the politically correct anti gun left wing control freak's nightmare made flesh. It's just beautiful. Sunday is the worst day to attend if you are only going to do one day. I strongly feel that you must stay for the night shoot Saturday night.

Ive been going for a while now both times each year. The best day to go is friday...first day to get your hands on the deals if there are
any to be had i always take that friday off.

Last october friday was packed. i used to travel 5 hours and stayed all 3 days.
now i travel 1 hour and only do friday.
as long as its not muddy a good time guaranteed for all

Where is O'Bannon Woods? Camping sounds like a great move. and much cheaper than finding a hotel.

I live for events that are considered nightmares for pc, anti-gun, left-wing control freaks. I plan on going Friday and maybe Saturday too. I really owe it to myself to see the night shoot.

I usually go but will be moving around the fall shoot this year. Sucks because I want to shoot an M16A1 so bad I can taste it. And I need some SP1 handguards, dang my luck and timing!

 

[Chrisw0118]

I'll be there first thing Friday AM at the opening. Hope to see you all there. This will be my 5th year going. It is always a blast!!!!

Harrison County state Forest on the Indiana side of the river near Corydon. The "real" State Capital....

Did the bridge get fixed? It was damaged a couple years ago, and you had to field hike to enter. The mud is a bummer, rode in once with a Honda Shadow, and did the "slip and slide" leaving with rooster tails behind me. Cool show/display though. Really dug the flamethrower on the old targets. The Quad 50 BMG was awesome. Well worth the fee.

Bridge is fixed. They upgraded to a monster compared to the old wire-metal one. Knob Creek is the best thing in the world.
