Mail Call at Knob Creek

[AR Will]

Host R. Lee Ermey heads to Knob Creek Gun Range in West Point, Kentucky, outside of Fort Knox, for the Knob Creek Shoot, a weekend when machine-gun owners and collectors converge for unbridled mayhem. At this former military-munitions test range, shooters nationwide come to buy, sell, and trade. First, the Gunny shows us around, talks about the history, hits sales tables, and fires off a few thousand rounds--from state-of-the-art to early vintage. Next, Lee takes a turn on the "Jungle Walk", a machine-gun shooting course with hidden targets and dense brush to recreate what it was like for the grunts in Viet Nam; and he gets a lift on a mule to the Knob Creek helipad where he goes aloft in a Cayuse OH-6A Helicopter for the range's aerial shooting course. Then, it's the night shoot, when you really get to see raw power as machine guns shoot tracers and fire at targets filled with diesel fuel and dynamite, incinerating cars, refrigerators, and oil drums.

You have to be the Drill Seargent from "Full Metal Jacket"

[BadShot]

Yeah that was a pretty intense shoot and everyone looked like they were just barely keeping the orgasms in check!

[Colorado Osprey]

no..that one girl with the M-16 had one...you could tell by the squirming and heavy breathing and her hips kept wiggling. Kinda fun to watch.

[BadShot]

Yeah, now we all just have to figure out how to start getting more ... actually any... hotties out to our shoots.. Karl!?!?!? You are apparently the man with the hookup.. Where's your love for the rest of the club!?!?!

Cheyene Wells is the best one can't wait.

8) Just wondering if any of the local guys have been or regularly attend the Knob Creek Shoot.

[KarlPMann]

I've attended four times so far. All in the fall. I plan on going again this year, but not 100% yet. Karl.

Been thinking about a three day banzai run to the fall shoot for a while, maybe this year. Ryan
