Last weekend, I had the incredible opportunity to attend The
Gathering, an event that’s quickly become a highlight for firearms
enthusiasts like myself. Held at The Clinton Plantation House, the event
brought together everyone with a passion for firearms and shooting sports.

A Fiesta of Firearms
The Gathering is not your typical event. Imagine a day filled with the sounds of gunfire (in the best way possible), the sight of the latest firearms from leading brands, and the opportunity to connect with fellow enthusiasts and experts. It’s a place where you can experience firsthand the craftsmanship and innovation that go into every gun on display.
Hands-On Experience
One of the standout features of The Gathering is the hands-on experience it offers. you get to shoot a variety of guns from numerous brands. Not only do you get to see and shoot the newest guns, you also get to try out the newest gear from sights and suppressors to all kinds of other gear and accessories.
As I moved from station to station, I was struck by the diversity of the firearms available. Each brand brought its unique flair to the event, from sleek, modern designs to rugged, time-tested models. The knowledgeable brand representatives were on hand to guide us through the features and history of their firearms, making the experience not only exhilarating but also educational.
More Than Just Shooting
But The Gathering was more than just a chance to shoot guns. It was a celebration of community. Everywhere I looked, people were sharing stories, tips, and laughs. It didn’t matter if you were a seasoned shooter or a curious newcomer; the atmosphere was welcoming and inclusive.
Reflections
As I left the event, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of gratitude for being part of such a vibrant community. The Gathering showcased the best of the firearms world: innovation, tradition, and the spirit of the 2nd Amendment.
For those who couldn’t make it this year, I can only say this: mark your calendars for the next “The Gathering.” It’s an experience that goes beyond the act of shooting guns; it’s a celebration of the passion and people and brands that make the firearms community truly special.
Where I Went
Below is the list of booths I personally went to and got to experience their latest gear. All of these brands and much more can be found at Palmetto State Armory or on their website www.palmettostatearmory.com. I personally use PSA for their great deals and own some of their firearms. They really make it easy for you and have good guns at budget friendly prices. I highly recommend their gear and website for all you gun, ammo and accessory needs. Read more about the gathering HERE.
