CANCON Georgia 2023 Event Recap: Suppressors, Night Shotgun Courses, and Crew Served Machine Guns

Pictures by Patrick McCarthy

Our 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. No exceptions, even for very good puppies!

Happiness is a belt-fed weapon.

Belt-fed ARs are a special kind of awesome!

Try your skills in the Pros Vs. Joes! Win or lose, at least you get a t-shirt!

One of our Pros and RECOIL editor, Tom, won his long range bout at 550 yards…

And then lost on the dueling tree at 50 yards.

Big congrats to the winner!

That's a lot of cans!

If you haven't tried 8.6 Blackout yet, you need to!

WHEN IS THE NEXT CANCON?!

Dates for next year will be coming soon, but expect to see us in Phoenix, Arizona around the end of April and then back in Richmond Hill, Georgia in November 2024!
