A MESSAGE FROM BOB

 

Thank you for your interest in our 3rd  Annual Stone Mountain Labor Day Weekend Machine Gun Shoot! Please be sure to read this in its entirety as there have been changes to policies that you may not be aware of since our last machine gun shoot.  Should you have any questions, suggestions or feedback, please feel free to email me at Bob@shootersgauntlet.com. Your input, good or bad, is invaluable. We strive to make the shoot fun for all, including our attendees, who simply want to come watch the awesome display that all of you put on. 

 

Many of you have taken time to send me comments, and I read it all. My goal is to provide a safe, fun and enjoyable atmosphere for all to enjoy, while at the same time meet the needs and desires of all who attend. Whether you are a machine gunner on the line, or an attendee looking to enjoy the event,  I know I cannot meet every request, but I sure will try damn hard to do so. 

 

Thanks for your patronage,

Bob
