LaRue Range Day
I'm going to try and make it to this event. Hopefully the wife doesn't have anything planned for me.

Went last year. It's a lot of fun but VERY crowded. I'm guessing they had 3,000-plus show up.

Got to fire a number of their rifles, including an Stealth rifle with $2,000 Nightforce scope at a 500-yard target and a number of OBRs with various Aimpoints, EOTechs, ACOGS, etc.

You'll be blown away how cool the range is if you've never been. I shoot there when I can (it's about a 30-40 minute drive from my house). 1,000 yard rifle range, 100 yard x 75 yard tactical shooting bays, etc.

And if they serve the free barbecue again, GET SOME - it's good and they'll usually give you a bunch of free goodies including some very good BBQ rub, keychains, bags, hats etc. Not to mention a full retail area selling all of their stuff plus scopes etc.

Hm. This is the day before my birthday...I'm thinking I'll ask off of work, and made the 1 hour trip down. Looks like a blast!

I'm looking forward to trying my hand at a scaled down version of the challenge on Top Shot 3 that featured a LaRue OBR rifle. Sounds like the winner of this challenge wins a rifle like the one featured on the show!
C'mon kitchen pass!!

I will be there, can't wait.

I won't be able to attend this year, even if I wanted to pay the $30 shooter fee. Last year it was so crowded I only got to shoot two OBR stages (5 rounds each) and another AR-15 stage they set up later in the day. Never got in to the long range. Can't complain about that since it was free and got a meal and a couple freebies to boot. But, if I'm going to pay $30/$40 I'd like some indication of how much I'll be able to shoot.

Should be fun. I'll be there, but not sure how much I'll get to shoot, as I'm helping work the event.

Me too. I also would like to know how much you stand in line before shooting. Based on stories from last year, I'm thinking of buying the non-shooting wristband. That gets me entry, lunch, and the opportunity to gawk and socialize.

Was there last year - it was free and they passed out a few "goodies" so I didn't complain about the crowd. (After the first rush, lines to shoot were AT LEAST an hour - at EACH stage! Only shot once . . .)

Lines at the vendor tent WERE NOT MOVING by the time I got there.

Now this year, they're charging money to attend, more money to shoot . . . well, events like this don't come cheap, but I'm NOT going to pay to (mostly) stand in line.

Good luck to those who attend, be sure to file an "after-action" report.
