Recently I have noticed how many muzzleloaders there are in the Green Mountains and Adirondacks. A new member here, Rusticbob and I have been conversing about putting together an informal fun shoot at our range in Whitehall, NY. The Whitehall Fish and Game Club is a few miles west of the NY/Vermont border between Rutland and Glens Falls. They have graciously consented to our using their range for such a meet.
Before we go further, I am trying to gauge the level of interest. Our plan is for a Sunday afternoon (noon until 5:00 PM) shoot in late April with paper targets at 25 yards and 50 yards, and some steel a little further out. All shots offhand, and round balls only. Flintlocks and caplocks (or matchlocks), open sights. This is not a formal competition, and there are no prizes or awards…only bragging rights and glory. This would be a good opportunity to meet others from the Forum.
Non-members of the Whitehall Fish and Game club will be asked for a $5 donation for the club. All non-members will also be required to sign a waiver of liability.
If I hear from enough shooters by March 30, I will secure the range and make all the necessary arrangements, send out directions to the club, etc.
If interested, please PM me on this site, and give me your email address and phone. It is time to get out and burn some powder in warm weather!
