NRA 2014 Day 1: American Suppressor Association 1st Annual Shoot

    I was about two hours late to the 1st Annual American Silencer Association shoot at Camp Atterbury, but I am glad I was. My morning interview with the ATF for my FFL took longer than expected (lots to cover for 07’s!). That said, I put the time to good use.

    Part of AAC’s table. I got a chance to shoot the SCR in 300 BLK, suppressed!

    The event was supported by four major OEMS. Much to my delight (and chagrin since I was late), I was able to go hands-on and put over 100 suppressed rounds down range through a variety of weapon systems and suppressors.

    Hornady provided most of the ammunition. GemTech also had some of their impressive loadings present including 300 BLK, 22LR, and 9mm.

    GemTech's 300 BLK loadings. Polymer tip with a proprietary jacket on the bullet.

    TFB will do a full profile on the ASA later next week. We had a great interview with Knox Williams, ASA’s Executive Director on progress being made across the country and the challenges the ASA faces.
