Location details and information
The Central Wyoming Machine Gun and Cannon Shoot is a once-a-year event that brings shooters and spectators together for a weekend of full-auto firepower, artillery, and pure outdoor shooting spectacle. 2026 marks the 29th year, and it's become a family operation run by the Miller and Steele families alongside a dedicated crew of range safety officers and blasting specialists.
After the main range closes around 9:45pm, shooters load tracer rounds and light up the darkness. Spectators can participate too—vendors typically reserve spots in their rental packages, so claim yours early in the day.
| **Cost** | **Details** |
|---|---|
| $20 weekend spectator pass | Kids 10 and under free |
| $40 camping fee | Dry camping only (no water/power hookups) |
| Registered shooter positions | Pricing available upon registration |
Quinton Miller handles event organization with his wife Tisha and daughter Bristol. The Steele family—Amber, Eric, Eldon, and Nic—are deeply involved. Nic serves as range safety officer; Eric and Eldon run the blasting crew; Amber and Tisha handle shooter logistics and merchandise from the office.
The shoot is supported by the Garrett Ranch (hosting the event for 20 years), plus local donations from Superior Signs, Moser Energy Systems, Blakeman Propane, All Out Fire, and Bar Nunn Fire Department.
All proceeds go to HD Outdoors, a nonprofit that runs big game hunts, fishing trips, and monthly recoil therapy sessions for veterans.
All spectators must sign a liability release before entering. Registered shooters download the registration form, return it with payment to the P.O. Box, and confirm participation.
