Registration begins at 9:30AM, with shooting at a variety of targets (15 in all) at 25, 50 and 100 yards to begin at 10AM. This is an off-hand, load from a bag event for all muzzleloaders. Inlines are welcome, but must use lead projectiles. The fee is $10.00 and food will be available for purchase away from the firing line. The person to contact for more information is Rich Rockwell: 1-845-687-8750 or mzldr@aol.com Hope to see some of you there!

Anyone planning to attend this?

The frolic was sparsely attended, but to my complete surprise, I managed to win a 3rd place award. My first shot (offhand) at a vertical piece of string @ 25 yds. unbeknownst to me, would be the tie breaker. I cut it neatly in two, but missed some other easy shots. Later, when not shooting for record, I managed to hit two (charcoal briquet on a string & small clay bird) that I previously missed offhand @ 25 yds. My club is planning another event, a woods walk, in late September or early October.

Maven, that would be a LONG drive for me, I am off exit 48A from the 90.

Congrats!

David, Thanks! Btw, my son used to live in Buffalo, but moved to Rochester last year so I'm familiar with Thruway exits 45 -> 50. I'll try to get some targets to you for the pistol (revolver) match before the end of June.
