That leaves the entire morning, which is the quietest and coolest part of an October day at an outdoor range. | Weekend | Festival days | Your window | What fits | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Weekend 1 | Fri Oct 2, Sat Oct 3, Sun Oct 4 | Morning, any day | Bullets & Bros, 2 hours, back at Zilker before gates | | Weekend 2 | Fri Oct 9, Sat Oct 10, Sun Oct 11 | Morning, any day | Same, or the Full Auto Crash Course at about an hour | | Either weekend | Thursday before | All day | Rapid Fire, 3 to 4 hours. The full machine gun collection with no clock on it | Zilker Park to the range is about 55 minutes each way. A morning Bullets & Bros session gets a group of five back downtown with time to change before the gates open. The Thursday before either weekend is the underused option. Most crews fly in that day anyway, and it is the only day of the ten with no festival schedule to work around. Times are confirmed when you book.
