Free Gun Every Hour At Outdoor Blast

The 12th annual Outdoor Blast is coming to the Infinite Energy Center the last weekend of July, and GON will again give away a gun every hour of the show. The extremely popular Gun-An-Hour Giveaway returns. While you shop and browse the vendor booths and enjoy show events, every hour you will have a chance to win a free gun.

We will draw a name every hour for someone who registers 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 the Georgia Hunting & Fishing Federation, 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.

We will again be giving away some awesome brand-name guns during the course of the weekend. There are two Browning A-Bolt deer rifles, Remington and Weatherby rifles, a Smith & Wesson .40 Shield handgun, a Core 15 TAC M4 5.56, several hunting shotguns and two Glock pistols.
