Knob Creek Range
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Knob Creek Range is a gun range located in West Point, Kentucky.
What it is most known for, is its twice annual machine gun shoot, which is the largest in the United States. People come from all around the world to shoot in it and see it. It usually takes about 10 years to reserve a place on the actual range, however many holders of lanes rent the use of their weapons to spectators for a nominal fee to cover the cost of ammunition and wear and tear on the guns themselves. There are also US federally licensed dealers there legally selling any gun or equipment you can imagine. The main event is the "night shoot", which is when it gets dark out the people on the range fire tracer rounds for a dazzling effect.
The machine gun shoot was featured on History Channel's Mail Call, and on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
