Description:

Rifle & Pistol Practice on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 10:00am.

Monthly Black Powder matches are held the 1st Saturday 8:30 – Noon.

Both rifles and pistols using percussion or flintlock are welcome. Beginners are encouraged to participate, and friendly help from those who are experienced is always available. No special costumes are necessary as this is a casual meeting to shoot together.

There is a local chapter of the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Assn you can join as well. We need to maintain a minimum of 10 paid NMLRA members ($40 annual dues) to allow our local chapter to participate in official NMLRA matches; so if you are interested or you are currently a NMLRA member, please contact Kenny Long for more information.
