The weekend of the 13th was the KCR shoot out in Kentucky. Had the M114 on
the line with M2HB, M60 and MG74 and SAW mounted, ready to go! Got to give
them a workout on Sunday and had a blast.
Had the 37mm, M3AT gun on line and it worked well, despite the fact that we
had several DUD rounds due to, as we later discovered, bad primers. Got to
blow a few holes in some cars downrange. To see that go into recoil after
so many years in storage is just a blast.
We also had the M5 Stuart on line for its debut and the 37mm M6 Gun barked
several times as it made a tour of the downrange targets. It ran
flawlessly, fresh from total restoration and overhaul just the week before!!!
After the shoot we went trail riding through the beautiful fall Kentucky
landscape. Trail riding takes on another meaning when you are going full
tilt boogie in a tracked vehicle.
Total for the weekend...beautiful weather, shot up allot of ammo, nothing
broken and no one hurt......works for me.
