What is Kalash Bash TX?
Simply put, Kalash Bash TX is the LARGEST gathering of Kalashnikov enthusiasts, collectors, competitors, spectators, and merchants in the United States, and it's held in the Great State of Texas! Our 2024 event welcomed over 1,000 spectators, competitors, and event staff from across the world for a full weekend adventure of fast-paced shooting competition, belt-fed machine guns, silencers, food trucks, and live music!
Now, it's important that you know... this is NOT a traditional gun show. That is by design; Kalash Bash TX has always been about the full weekend festival experience. It's really up to YOU to decide how much of the KBTX adventure you are ready for.
Flying solo or coming with a large group to spectate and meet with vendors & demo new and exciting Kalash products and services? General Admission tickets give spectators full weekend access to the Main Event activities. Our Live Fire Tent is where the top Kalash vendors in the industry showcase new firearms and products for you to demo and meet the teams behind the scenes. You will also find some vendors offering machine gun rentals for patrons looking to go full turbo. Lastly, save up your rupies because our Vendor Bazaar tent is packed full of the coolest boutique products, small and large companies, some well known and some new to the game. Make sure to stick around until the end at the Award Ceremony, where we give away over $100,000 of prizes to attendees.
Ready to test your skill behind the trigger? Register for the Kalash Competition and compete in an 8-stage match hosted by Dissident Arms. The Kalash Competition is a fast-paced, yet fun match that both first timers and experienced competitors can enjoy. Spend your free time spectating and hanging out at the Main Event with the rest of our attendees and Kalash vendors. This ticket is our most popular and is guaranteed to sell out quickly. We will have over 325 competitors this year...
Looking to add some after hours activity to your adventure? Add a Camp Kalashnikov camping pass and stay on-site for the entire weekend! Camp Kalashnikov has it all...luxury bathroom and shower trailers, food trucks, campfires, live entertainment, and plenty of time to hang out with the Kalash family.
*Why should I Pre-Register?*
Pre-Registration is a way for our attendees to express interest in the festival while securing an opportunity to purchase their tickets EARLY before they are made available to the general public. Folks that Pre-Register before tickets are LIVE will have early access to purchase their KBTX25 tickets. The early access Pre-Reg period will last for 12 hours, before KBTX25 tickets are made available to the public. All tickets are available in limited quantities and while supplies last. Please note that Pre-Registration does NOT guarantee any ticket purchase, guests must complete a ticket purchase to gain entry into the festival.

How do I become eligible to win prizes at the Award Ceremony?
This year, we estimate over $100,000 in vendor contributed products and firearms will end up on the Prize Tables. Prizes are allocated to competition podium winners, some are given away to volunteers & staff, and the rest are given away at random to attendees in the form of challenges or drawings. None of the vendor contributed products or firearms are kept by event hosts or producers, they all end up in the hands of paid attendees. Please note, this is not a raffle. Your event ticket purchase does not guarantee any prize or implied odds of being a prize winner. General Admission attendees must be present during the Award Ceremonies to claim prizes. Any Firearm/NFA prizes given away will be compliant with any state and federal requirements for transfer.
How many Shooting Divisions are there in this year's Kalash Competition?
The Kalash Competition will always be a single rifle outlaw style match, meaning each attendee can shoot the match one time with a single rifle of their choice. Since this is an AK event, there will be limitations to the type of rifles that can compete in the Kalash Competition. In general, all Kalashnikovs and their close variants (Galils, Valmets, etc.) along with most combloc originating rifles will be permitted.
Divisions are split into several groups depending on the caliber and optics of your rifle. Iron Sights vs. Open, and Light vs. Heavy, as well as a PCC Division. We will post more information here about the match when the final details are ready to share.

Can I camp on-site this year?
We highly recommend camping at Camp Kalashnikov for attendees that want to full KBTX experience. Camp Kalashnikov is a giant campground located inside if the venue property, where attendees can park their cars, set up camp, and enjoy the remainder of their weekend without needing to leave the venue. We have luxury A/C bathrooms and shower trailers located at the campground and do permit above-ground fires for grilling food. Saturday night, we host a bunch of live entertainment and a giant campfire which make a great place to cut loose, make friends, and get to know the rest of the community.
