2024 Gun-An-Hour Giveway Lineup Announced

Taylor Miller killed this buck on Nov. 19 in Gordon County. He used the rifle he won at last year’s Gun-An-Hour free drawing during the Ag-Pro GON Outdoor Blast at the LakePoint Sports Champions Center in Emerson.

A chance at a free gun every hour with no raffle entry fees, that’s a pretty nice bonus for just walking in the door to GON’s big outdoor weekend!

The Ag-Pro Outdoor Blast, presented by Dallas Safari Club (DSC), returns again in 2024 to the more than 120,000 square feet inside the LakePoint Champions Center. The show dates are Friday, July 26 to Sunday, July 28, and just for walking in the door, attendees will again have free chances to win a gun in a drawing that occurs every hour of the show. A name will be drawn every hour among attendees who register for free that day at the show. The person drawn will simply come by the GON booth, complete the federal background check, pick up their brand-new gun and take it home that day. The Gun-An-Hour Giveaway is made possible through partnerships with 30-30 Ministries, and with some awesome help from Adventure Outdoors. There are no raffle tickets to buy, just a simple sign-up for all show attendees who are 18 and older who have a paid ticket to that day’s show.

You must be present to win, and you must claim your gun within 30 minutes of your name being called. See the rules for this special gun giveaway.

Here’s the 2024 Gun-An-Hour lineup and the schedule for each gun drawing.

Additional Events & Features For 2024 Ag-Pro Outdoor Blast

30-30 Ministries $1K Shoot-Out

The 30-30 Ministries $1K Shoot-Out is back at this year’s Ag-Pro Outdoor Blast. This special shooting competition gives contestants the opportunity to win $1,000 by breaking raw eggs with the same style pellet rifle used in GON’s Truck-Buck Shoot-Out. Anyone at the Outdoor Blast can qualify on Saturday, July 27 from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., and 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. (first-come, first serve as time allows.) Anyone who hits a raw egg from 45 feet qualifies for the finals at 4 p.m. where qualifiers will shoot at an egg from 60 feet to determine our $1,000 winner. Qualifying is $5 per shot, or $10 for three shots.

BBQ Village
While at the Ag-Pro Outdoor Blast, make sure to get a belly-full of great food from the crew at the BBQ Village. Meet professional cookers from some of the top-rated BBQ businesses in Georgia. Four41South, Inked Pig, DAS BBQ and Crowe’s Bar-B-Que will be serving up some of their signature BBQ dishes all weekend long. Breathe in that smokey air on the outside lawn of the Ag-Pro Outdoor Blast. Mingle with our this crew and learn some cooking and smoking techniques that may just make you the most popular guy in the deer club this fall.

Deer Scoring
Bring your mount or antlers, and our team of official Boone & Crockett scorers will tally up the inches, and your buck’s final score will automatically be listed in GON’s Georgia Deer Records. Look for the Deer Wall against the back of the building. Drop your rack off anytime during show hours Friday or Saturday, but please show up no later than 2 p.m. on Sunday, July 28. Don’t wait until the show is about to close on Friday and Saturday. Antlers dropped off near the closing hours of the show might not be available for pick up until the next day.

GON Youth Shoot-Out
Shortly after the 2024 Ag-Pro Outdoor Blast kicks off on Friday, July 26, GON will host its annual Youth Shoot-Out BB gun competition. These young shooters each qualified by having the best-scoring youth (15 and younger) buck during a week of deer season. These weekly youth winners will compete for a chance to win a $3,000 shopping spree at Adventure Outdoors and a weekend hunting trip to Woods-N-Water, or a rifle from CVA and BPI Outdoors. In addition, they have already won a LockedOn 360 Mobile Gun Vise, a Rugged Road Outdoors 30 Soft Cooler and a personalized Shoot-Out jersey from Realtree.

“Let’s Go Fishing” Seminars
There’s a great spot at the Ag-Pro Outdoor Blast to take a comfortable seat, watch fish in a giant 30,000 gallon tank and learn some new tips and techniques for your next trip to the water while you relax. Experts on a variety of types of fishing for a variety of species will be teaching seminars every hour during all three days of the Outdoor Blast.

Truck-Buck Shoot-Out
Another group of Georgia deer hunters will take the stage at the Ag-Pro GON Outdoor Blast on July 28 to compete in the 35th annual Truck-Buck Shoot-Out. The second-best shot will win a Firminator G-3 food-plot implement by Ranew’s Outdoor Equipment, and the man, woman or youngster who makes that last shot will win a new truck from John Megel Chevrolet. When the last shot is fired in the Truck-Buck Shoot-Out, we like to say it’s sort of a kick-off party for the next deer season. We believe you’ll enjoy being a part of an event like this. It has sure been special for us through the decades. Come see for yourself.

Yonah Invitational Turkey Calling Contest
For the fourth straight year, competition turkey callers will have the opportunity to earn a trip to Nashville to compete in the Super Bowl of contest calling at the NWTF Grand Nationals. The 4th annual Yonah Invitational turkey-calling competition, a Grand National qualifying event, will take place at the Ag-Pro GON Outdoor Blast on Saturday, July 27.

In addition to all the activities and shows, the Ag-Pro Outdoor Blast will feature hundreds of hunting and fishing vendors, many offering special bargains.

Only A Few Vendor Booths Available

The huge building at LakePoint is almost sold out, but there’s still space—hunting and fishing exhibitors only.

The Ag-Pro GON Outdoor Blast sells out of vendor space yearly, but with the move to the LakePoint Champions Center, the show expanded to more than 125,000 square feet. New exhibitors can join this special weekend to promote their products and services and meet thousands of sportsmen, but only hunting and fishing related products and businesses are allowed.
