Information and Background on the BANZAI/MRJ Annual Shootout

 For a number of years now, members of originally BANZAI, and later joined by members of the Military Rifle Association, have gathered every Memorial Day weekend in the north west corner of Alabama for three days of looking at and shooting a variety of (legal) weapons. Arriving on Friday and leaving on Sunday, a variety of activities is enjoyed by all. It is a chance to see, handle, and even shoot all types of firearms with a special emphasis on Japanese weapons. For many of us it is a chance to meet face to face with many other collectors, look at the weapons they've brought, and enjoy sharing information in a way not possible by letter, phone, or e-mail.
