Pictures by Patrick McCarthyOur second year holding CANCON at the 17 South Rod & Gun Club in Fleming, GA! This year was bigger and better than last year with dozens of vendors, hundreds of visitors, and tens of thousands of rounds fired down range.To recap the event and share some awesome pictures, take a look!Not every gun at CANCON was huge! Many were in .22 LR or 5.7×28. Small cartridges that are suppressed are extra fun! On the other hand, nothing sends a message like .50 BMG from an M2 can. Train your crew young!Lever-actions and AKs!Congrats to everyone who won awesome prizes!Vendors must wear their badges on the range at all times.
