Twice each year, a group known as MG Shooters LLC hosts a huge recreational machine gun shoot at the Big Sandy range. MG Shooters has been hosting shoots for more than 30 years, and it eventually grew to what it is today. The Big Sandy Shoot is the largest privately owned, civilian based, machine-gun shoot in the world.
Located in Northwest Arizona, Big Sandy is in a class all its own. Designated as an impact area by the government, there is very little that cannot be shot or blown-up at this scenic location.
