About the Demo Day
The Demo Day will be your opportunity to see, handle and shoot the latest revolvers from all the big names in the industry, and get your hands on the holsters, loaders, and other support gear you need to complete your loadout.
A flat fee gets you in the door, where you’ll be able to wander through a number of industry-sponsored shooting bays, and talk to company representatives who will be happy to show you their latest products, and get you set up to shoot them. To see a list of participating sponsors, please visit the Revolver Fest website.
You can still purchase Demo Day-Only tickets for $25 on the Revolver Fest website. Admission to Demo Day is included for all students who have purchased a ticket for the Two-Day Training Event on Sunday and Monday.
About the Two-Day Training Event
All students will attend a Revolver Basics class on Sunday morning, taught by one of the ten instructors on staff. After lunch on Sunday, students will branch off to attend the first of their three elective training blocks. The other elective training blocks will be on Monday morning and Monday afternoon.
Students will be able to select from a menu of classes, in advance, to fill their three electives. Every instructor will teach their designated course three times, to allow the maximum opportunity for students to get a spot in the class. To see a list of the instructors, please visit the Revolver Fest website.
Students can expect classes dedicated to topics such as Skill Development, Pocket Carry, Ballistics Testing, Holster Work, Close Quarters Shooting, One-Handed Shooting, Single Action Revolvers, and a wide variety of others.
There are still about 10 tickets left for the Two-Day Training Event. These All-Access tickets include admission to the Demo Day and are only $550. You can buy them on the Revolver Fest website, but don’t delay–the student cap has already been increased twice, and this will be the last batch of tickets available.
Revolverguys unite!
I hope to see some of you there at either the Demo Day or the Training. This is going to be the largest revolver-focused training event of 2025, and it’s going to be lots of fun!
I’m looking forward to the event! Unfortunately, I can’t make the training days, dang it!
But the demo day is going to be something special. Hope to shoot some revolvers I’m interested in, maybe get some swag, and maybe pick up some accessories. Going to be fun.
It would be pretty cool if I even got to shake Colonel Wood’s hand and thank him for RevolverGuy.com?
I look forward to it, Glenn! It would be my honor!
I’m signed up and ready.
Great! Look forward to seeing everyone there!
My friend and I are going to be there for the entire three days. When you say we can pick our electives in advance, how much in advance? Where do we sign up for these classes? I am really looking forward to this.
Bruce, the email outlining class registration should go out next week, and you’ll be able to select classes then. Looking forward to seeing you and your friends!
Reserved our camping spot at The Clinton House Plantation and looking forward to Demo Day! It’ll be great to meet Mike Wood and introduce him to my family – while wearing my CHP cap!
Outstanding!! Really looking forward to it!
UPDATE: The email to register for classes will go out by the 24th of September
I was there. It as fantastic!
Fantastic training and instructors. Already looking forward to 2026. The only downside was that with so many great instructors, you were limited to just four of them (with an option to speak to many at the vendor bays on Demo Day). Enjoyed meeting you at the Diamondback booth Mike; Revolver Guy is how I found out about AFR and RevolverFest!
It was great to meet so many readers! Glad you had fun, and I’m looking forward to next year, too. We’ll do a debrief article in a few weeks, and I hope you’ll chime in with your observations,.
