Thanks I will look in to that. I didn't think of that at all.Tanker,
I am the Director of the Muzzleloading Division of the Michigan City Rifle Club.
The MCRC was founded in 1935 and the Muzzleloading Division, “The Sand Dunes Longrifles”, was formally established as a Division in 1967.
The MCRC has several divisions in addition to Muzzleloading.
We have: Trap, Small Bore Rifle, Pistol, Cowboy Action, Rimfire Challenge & Women’s Defensive Pistol.
Each division generates income for the club by holding “shoots” that are open to the public.
As a “Division” within the MCRC, all divisional activities and shoots are covered by MCRC’s insurance.
I don’t know how your Sportsman’s Club is set up, but you might consider investigating the possibility of becoming an internal “Division” of the Club as we have done.
Thanks for the advice. We discussed that and we will be taking stuff down. One of the club guys was in a club before and he brought it up. We hope to have a woods walk up and running but the spring.If you leave any any targets up after you have finished with them someone will shoot them just to see what it'll do to them. That will happen at the best of ranges. Take them down and store them securely or take them home with you. I might suggest you dismantle your woods walk at the close of the event to discourage other club members from trying it with high powered firearms, shotguns, etc., could prove to be quite a safety and liability issue.
Good advise. Unfortunately, targets of opportunity will get shot at. There is a reason you don’t want carpets in a bathroom if little boys live in the house.If you leave any any targets up after you have finished with them someone will shoot them just to see what it'll do to them.
And any rules created will hurt feelings and cause heartache and drama. Got to take away opportunities by removing or locking stuff up. One of the joys of running any kind of club."didn’t think it would hurt the targets anymore than arrows"
One cannot legislate or create enough rules to eliminate ignorance and stupidity.
My main goal is to bring more people into BP. That is why our club will be open to all BP weapons even the ones we don't talk about. I don't like them but there is a lot that does and maybe we can pull them over to the traditional side. Our main club is real big into youth in shooting/ hunting/ fishing sports so the plan is to try to do some kind of youth event. Thank for you input, I'm trying to start a good club for the right reason. Comments like yours keeps me in check, it's to easy to make a club that only benefit a few.Tanker: keep up your efforts..
Keep in mind - are you there for yourselves or introducing others as well or both?
The younger generations are not into ‘exclusion’ more so ‘inclusion’/open.. great opportunities can be had with the latter.
Keep it fun.
Best of luck..
Does your ‘main’ club take part in the National Hunting and Fishing Day? Forth Saturday in September every year. Club I belong to makes it an all day event out of it every year with numerous activities for the kids to participate in an no cost to them. Had over 100 kids this year. Reason I bring it up is you almost have an entire year to plan a muzzleloading activity for the event. Grants are available to help with expenses. https://nhfday.org/Our main club is real big into youth in shooting/ hunting/ fishing sports so the plan is to try to do some kind of youth event.
I pretty sure they do, ever year I help run a trap shooting for youths for a field day that 2 or 3 other clubs along with our club does. It's usually around that time of year and we sometimes do it in the spring also. We have about 10 events that kids can go through. One is for bp. I will ask to make sure if that is what it's for.

Not muzzloading related, but one of the more rewarding aspects of the NHFD activities I have seen or taken part in is when single mothers bring their child and a family gun and request assistance with how to shoot it. Better believe they get special attention. Along with offers for additional instructional shooting sessions.I pretty sure they do, ever year I help run a trap shooting for youths for a field day that 2 or 3 other clubs along with our club does.
