We chatted with Alex Varela from SHOOTAH. SHOOTAH is the largest live-fire gun event in Utah, and will shortly become the largest in the western United States. Why is SHOOTAH™ so big? It’s the celebration of our inherent 2A freedoms with a focus on Utah's firearm industry. Whether experiencing a thermal scope for the first time, a full auto machine gun, or a .50 cal Barrett sniper rifle from your local gun shop, your family will have the time of their lives and build memories they will cherish forever!
SHOOTAH™ is held at Soldier Pass Shooting Range just a few minutes away from downtown Saratoga Springs Utah. Gates open at 10 am and the event is open until 6 pm. You will have opportunities to fire an M2 .50cal from a WWII half-track, M134 Mini-gun, full auto, belt-fed M249 SAW, and even a Tommy Gun.
