Black powder shoot Intrest....
Post date: Feb 26, 2015 2:26:36 AM
The Morgantown
> Rod & Gun Club is looking into the possibility of holding a black
> powder shoot. I have been tasked for the moment to see if there is
> enough interest to proceed to the next level. My name is Rob Harney
> and I am new to the Club but interested in black powder shooting.
> If you think this is something you'd like to participate in let me know.
>
> What I have in mind right now is as follows:
>
> 1.) Eligible weapons: Black powder long guns with either flint or
> percussion ignition; single shot flint or percussion pistols and cap
> and ball revolvers. No black powder cartridge guns or modern in-line
> guns. (All pre-1870's type guns?)
>
> 2.) Sights and Ammo: Loose black powder charge with a patched
> roundball only. No conical, minie or Maxie bullets. Open sights
> only, (No telescopic, tubular or aim-point type sights.)
>
> The kind of events will take some planning but what I have in mind for
> now could be long gun paper targets at various ranges, some type of
> pistol event, and novelty targets, (i.e. swinging target, "split the
> ball", etc.) All of this can be decided later but right now all I
> need to know if there is interest. Below are a few simple questions
> for you to answer if interested which will greatly help in
> planning. Just add your answers below on this e-mail and return it
> back to me. Rob Harney - festus@chesco.com
> Make sure your e-mail program is set to include the original message
> in your reply. If you are not sure, just send me a note simple
> saying "I am interested in the Morgantown R & G blackpowder shoot."
