Since the object of the SSF is really to introduce new people to the sport, I can understand the use of the term. To someone that is not familiar with firearms, saying there will be a semi-auto M60 means nothing. They don't know what it is, or why they might find it exciting.
 If, however, the term "machine gun" is used, they get it and will hopefully want to come out and shoot it.

Remember, a condescending attitude can turn someone off to the idea of becoming involved with firearms and we need all the support we can get.

                                                                        :shaka:

I believe we used quotation marks around "machine gun" in the flyer. What would you suggest we use to convey to a novice that we have a semi-automatic version of a belt-fed machine gun?

How about, "Belt fed machine gun with a .30-caliber clip, able to disperse 30 bullets within half a second. Thirty magazine clip in half a second" ?

Non-gun people seem to understand that kind of technical nomenclature!!

Stuff on sale at the actual fair or just a coupon that you need to take to the store?  Sorry, this will be my first time going.  Basically what I want to know is should I bring my long gun permit or not.

Thanks to all the organizers and volunteers for putting on a good fair   :shaka:

Was a little bummed there were no lever actions for my wife to try but I understand that most people want to shoot the semi-autos and it makes the line move quicker.  Did get to shoot some skeet for the first time, which was a lot of fun.  May need to consider a shotgun down the road...

She didn't want a 12ga?  She shot it pretty good. That clay pigeon disintegrated.
