Hello to all. Got into Blackpowder Hunting thru my grandfather. Fell in love at the sight of his T/C Renegade. Look forward to speaking with all.

Greetings and welcome to the forum! I belong to (3) different clubs in NJ that shoot black powder. Where about are you from in NJ? I could bring you as a guest to some of the best target shooting, woods-walks, and Fun Shoots that the state has!

Hi there, and welcome from Wisconsin! Have fun researching info here, lots of different threads for you to pick from. I read 'em all!

 

[Dave Rosenthal]

The closest club that does real black powder competitions as well as "fun shoots" with novelty targets (balloons, charcoal, exploding targets, eggs, etc.) is the Old Bridge Rifle & Pistol Club: www.oldbridgerifle.com . It's in Middlesex County, about 3 minutes from the Monmouth County line. Check out the web site & newsletters and be sure to look for the Muzzleloaders Report.

If you want to come up and shoot, give me a PT and we can exchange email infor, etc.!

Again, welcome to the forum! Lots of great folks with plenty of experience helping each other & beginners too!

Welcome......you'll love it here. I can tell already!
Smokin'.50 will steer ya right. Ask him to show ya that big horse pistol he's got! :wink:
Now, Dave, no fair counting this one in the contest...he joined on his own! :nono:

The Old Bridge Club has a Black Powder League that meets twice a month, on the first & third Sundays. With all of this crazy snow we've had, we didn't have a Match on the first Sunday. We're hoping to get one in on the third Sunday (the 20th). They start at 09:00 am. First Sunday is a regular Match and the third Sunday is a Winchester/NRA Qualification Match. Although since we didn't get to shoot our pistols on the 6th, the Match Director may want to hold a regular Match on the 20th, so send me an email to remind me to notify you.

C.O.F. for a regular Match is pistols from 25 yards with 13 shots (revolvers & single-shots) and we can loan you equipment to get you started . Then rifles from 50 yards with 20 shots total.

Again, a hearty welcome to the best forum for ML! We'll get you into the hobby with both feet :haha: :grin: .
