In article, I write: 
#I understand the semi-annual Knob Creek shoot-out will be held the weekend
#of October 10th near Elizibethtown, Kentucky.  Can anyone provide more
#details like entrance fee, events, specific directions?

Here's a rather detailed e-mail response I got from a kind soul who typed
in the brochure he got.  Thought I'd share it with his permission.

Response:

	 I called Knob Creek and requested information on the shoot;
         I typed in most of the info from the pamplet that I received.
         However I did leave off the listing of accommodations,
         sponsers, and stuff they have for sale.  If you need more
	 information call Knob Creek Gun Range at (502) 922-4457
	 or one of the places listed near the end.

The Machine Gun Shoot-out and Military Gun Show at Knob Creek

	A weekend, semi-annual event held in April and October.  It is
attended by people of all ages.  The participants are machine gun
dealers, collectors, and enthusiasts from all over the country.  The
Shoot-out consists of a series of sets from which cars, refrigerators,
water heaters, pyramids of tires, and barrels of gas are attached
with dynamite that is spray painted fluorescent orange to be seen
by the shooters.  The shooters aim at these targets and set the
dynamite off which in turn creates many small and large explosions.
Their objective is to demolish everything that is down range.
Many automatic weapons may be seen such as Uzi's, Thompson's,
MG-42's, 22 mm's, 50 cal's, water cooled Browning's, and many,
many others.  Some of the rarities that have been seen are the old
Gatlin guns, Quad 50's, Twin Mini's, Vulcan, and others too
numerous to mention!

THE MILITARY GUN SHOW has drawn dealers from all over the
country to buy, sell and trade CLASS III Firearms.  The show is setup
in large, lighted pole barn adjacent to the firing range and
clubhouse.  Security is on the primises.  KNOW CREEK RANGE
cordially invites you to come on out and SUPPORT THE SECOND
AMMENDMENT "The Right to Keep and Bear Arms."
