WHAT IS KALASH BASH TX ?
Simply put, Kalash Bash TX is one of the LARGEST gatherings of Kalashnikov and firearm enthusiasts, collectors, competitors, spectators, and merchants in the United States, and it's held in the Great State of Texas! Our 2026 event expects to welcome over 1,000 spectators, competitors, and event staff from across the world for a full weekend adventure of fast-paced shooting competition, machine guns, silencers, airsoft, aerial gunnery, 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.
Ready to test your skill behind the trigger? This year, shooters will have the option to register for an 8-Stage Kalash Rifle Competition and/or a 4-Stage Kalash SubGun Competition. 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 close to 600 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, After Dark live entertainment, and plenty of time to hang out with the Kalash family.
