This was the first of many RMAC’s that I plan on attending, and I have to say it truly was an experience one would have to see for themselves. I finally decided to quit talking about going and committed myself to being there!
We all throw out tidbits on the forums about this airgun community being awesome, but let me tell you all, I’ve witnessed it first hand. All the people I met, from the movers and shakers in our industry to the famous youtuber’s, and lastly to the newbies like myself, it was an unbelievable experience. Way better than going to Disneyland as a kid, no lie.
In this thread I wanted to give a big shout out to Utah Airguns and the staff that ran it. I was able to catch a few names- Travis, Alex, Jayden, Tanner, all did a great job from being a range master all the way to shuttling people around in golf carts to making sure there was plenty of air for the guns and water to keep the shooters hydrated. They literally made me feel like I was a Frederick Axxelson, Steve from AEAC, or a Cecil from Hatsan.
The registration process was totally well organized, and the way everyone was given ample range time for sight in was great.
I got to meet DonnyFL, the fx staff, the Hatsan team, AEAC Steve, AGN Michael, Cyclops Joe Reah, and famous team shooters like CENTERCUT Mike, Dereck Wall, The Daystate crew, yeah I had a blast.
I didn’t place as high as I would’ve liked but for a first timer I didn’t do bad, especially when just a few months ago I had never shot past 50 yards.
If any of you are the ones that keep saying “someday I’d like to attend”, like I did for years, well, put it in your calendar and start saving up. You won’t regret it!
Oh, and for sure practice! This is not something you want to go into and you just shot a few targets the week before, lol
Next Stop- EBR!
