CANCON is a gun show and fully suppressed range day brought to you by Recoil and Gun Digest Magazines.  Hundreds of the newest and best suppressors, firearms, and optics will be on the firing line for you to get hands-on trigger time. All ammo will be provided, just bring your trigger finger!

Kids under 12 get in free, however, any child who wishes to shoot will need a paid entry ticket, and children must be supervised at all times.

Great food will be available on-site when you need to recharge between shooting bays.

Friday (VIP Early Access & Night Shoot) 12pm to 9:30 PM

Saturday: 9am to 4pm

Sunday: 9am to 4pm

While the distinct total number of available firearms remains yet undetermined, we guarantee that there will be at least 200+ different firearms available for you to demo with live rounds. The combination of a wide variation of suppressors with the available firearms further increases the amount of unique builds that will be available for all attendees to learn about and shoot.

As many as you have time for! CANCON will feature 50+ lanes of shooting with multiple firearms available for demonstration per lane. The exact amount of rounds available per demo is determined by the Lane Operator at their sole discretion. (Be nice to your Lane Operator!)

Yes. However, all decisions about who can shoot which firearm, and for how many rounds is completely determined by the Lane Operator. If other CANCON attendees are in line for demos behind you the Operator may ask that you get back in line for an additional demo on any firearm.

VIP Ticket Holders will have an exclusive opportunity to participate in a nighttime event on Friday where they can shoot suppressed with low light tools, night vision goggles, clip-on night vision optics, IR lasers, tracers, and more. More information will be available at the event.  Available spots are limited.

We reserve the right to request a valid ID. All attendees will be required to sign a liability waiver prior to entry, including parents signing on behalf of their children.

Because this is a 3-day event, it is very unlikely the whole weekend will be lost to bad weather.  If the weather becomes unbearable for the majority of either day of the event, we will approve said day’s tickets for the next day.  In the unlikely occurance that the whole weekend is lost, the event will be rescheduled and a new date announced as soon as possible.

Carrying firearms in accordance with local laws is permitted and welcome. However, there will be NO open lanes for shooting personal firearms during the event.

We highly recommend that you bring your own eye and ear protection to CANCON. However, if you forget to bring yours there will be eye and ear protection available.

Food and refreshments will be available on-site for purchase.

Yes. Restrooms and extra porta potties will be on site.

Yes, entry for children under 12 is free. Children must be supervised at all times. Children under the age of 6 are required to be kept well clear of active firing lines for the duration of the event. Children are permitted to shoot with parental supervision, but tickets must be purchased for any child who would like to shoot.
