Black Powder Day / Muzzleloader Event 2024
September 28 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
Did you receive a blackpowder firearm as a gift or inherited one and don’t know what to do with it? Are you ready to test your skills against others in the afternoon shooting match and compete for prizes? Don’ t miss out on this marvelous opportunity for knowledgeable instruction, loads of fun, and the unique smell of blackpowder smoke!
Inline, percussion, or flintlock shooters are all welcome. There will be instruction time for new muzzleloader shooters to develop a workable shooting load, for “veterans” and more experienced shooters to sight-in their guns, and for all to practice shooting.
Bring the muzzleloader that you want to shoot or let Mark Gochnour know in your email that you would like to try one out so he can arrange for a loaner. If you are new to shooting a muzzleloader, a veteran shooter will be assigned to work with you.
Match participants will be provided opportunities to shoot at some unusual novelty targets again this year, including The Flopping Plate. Targets will be shot at a variety of ranges from up close and out to 100 yards with prizes awarded to individual shooters.
Contact Mark Gochnour at mgdonutman@ gmail.com for further details or questions. It is important to contact him; especially if you are bringing a new gun because you may need extra equipment or gear that you were unaware of and their lack could sabotage your experience.
