We hope you will come join us for this autumn shoot. It promises to be a lot of fun with interesting and challenging targets and beautiful cool fall weather. This event will feature the following:

​

Woods Walk-

12 shots in our woods walk area with metal targets that resemble animals found in the woods (turkeys, bears, coyotes, etc)

​

Novelty area

10 shots on the main range with small reactive targets (chalk, water balloons, triscuits, etc)

 

"Primitive Iron" area:

12 shots on the wooded walk path to the left of the main range with metal targets that resemble items familiar to our forefathers (tomahawks, kettles, etc). 

​

There will be a $5.00 entry fee on each of these three events. Unlimited re-entry on each of these three events is permitted with additional entry fees paid.

​

The competition categories will include: Men's Rifle, Men's Smoothbore, Women's Rifle, Women's Smoothbore, and Juniors. Each shooter's score will be aggregate of their best scores from each event for the weekend. 

​

This is a primitive muzzleloader competition, shot with patched round balls using open sights in a standing position (off hand) using either flint or percussion. Inline muzzleloaders are not permitted. Primitive / historical clothing is encouraged but not required.
