---

– 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!

Participants will meet at the Rifle & Pistol Range at 9:00am

Inline-, percussion-, and flintlock-shooters are all welcome. There will be instruction time for new shooters or those with new muzzleloaders while muzzleloading veterans and more experienced shooters sight-in their muzzleloaders

Bring the muzzleloader that you want to shoot or alert Mark Gochnour in your RSVP email that you need a “loaner.” Learn directly from individuals having experience and knowledge. If you have never fired a blackpowder gun, if you have a muzzleloader that you have never used before, or if you are having issues with one you have forgotten about in the gun safe, definitely come for the morning instruction but stay for the shoot!

Last year, one shooter who used a loaner gun to compete in the shooting match turned out to be an excellent marksman!

Lunch will be served in the chapterhouse around noon with the shooting competition beginning at or near 1pm

Match participants will be presented with opportunities to shoot at some unusual novelty targets again this year, including a perennial favorite: The Flopping Plate

During the afternoon competition, participants will shoot at a variety of ranges from up-close out to 100 yards with prizes awarded to individual shooters

Please contact Mark Gochnour at Muzzleloading.BCC.IWLA@gmail.com with your questions or for further details, questions, and pre-register at the SignupGenius link above!

It is important to contact Mark, especially if you are bringing a new muzzleloader, because you may need extra equipment or gear that you were unaware of. Lacking such gear could sabotage your experience

• Regular non-Range-Officer fees for use of R&P Range
