Same day as cabelas meet up, an extra ~20 minutes down 78. Turns out I'll be doing the 10:30am public battle if anyone wants to come watch.

 

Heres the details. If you are coming, let me know we can meet up. One of the best WWII flea markets too!

Do they sell garands?

You may be able to ask around and find one for sale face to face in the GI barracks, but there are no firearms for sale at the flea market

I will be there reenacting but I will be out in the reenactors battle.If you are thinking about WW2 reenacting this event is a good start to see what it is about. Too bad we are not bringing the BOB Stug and SDKFZ 251/9 out. The flea market is usually picked over after Weds but you can still find some good stuff.

I'll be in the friday tactical, but a commitment sat. afternoon forces my father and I to skip out around noon time so we were able to weasel into the public event (which will probably have more trigger time anyways )

This looks pretty kick a**, wasn't even aware of a reenactment of this scale so close to home! If I was free this weekend, I'd def be there!

It is a pretty big hobby. It is continuing to grow and there is nothing else like it.The tristate area has improved in the past 5 years with the addition of the SPR (sticky bomb)Tiger and (Bazooka) Stug from BOB being operated by my reenactment unit. This past year was the first time I had seen a Allied tank in the field. The hobby has a very bright future in this area.

 

 

I have another club event this weekend, as well as family coming into town so getting to this will be out of the question. If anyone would be so kind, could you provide some info about how to get into this? I really want to get into this hobby!
