Rendezvous

[beemer]

I went to the Southeastern Primitive Rendezvous in Yadkinville, NC today, was about 60 miles away. It was really a good day, I met some friendly and interesting people and saw some nice rifles. I have always liked the history and especially the long rifles.

I talked to the Booshway and he said attendance was down quite a bit this year. Some folks in eastern N.C. and the gulf coast were dealing with the aftermath of the storms and couldn't make it.

They allow us flatlanders in only on three days and the rest of the time it is closed to outsiders.

I would love to attend Rendezvous, however I work every weekend.
Only off week days :(

Locally Rondy's aren't as popular as they used to be. I sure attended my share of them back in the 70's, 80's and early 90's. Great fun, fellowship and often times food....shootin' was purty good also!!!!

We don't have enough young people getting involved, but there are still some starting. We are very active with Boy Scout, 4H training programs. Mostly greybeards now. However, here in NW Montana, we have some great rendezvous during the year, plus monthly shoots.

My big rendezvous is Alifia over by Homeland in Florida. Been going to it every year for about ten years now. Even have a wall tent that I break out for it. It's usually the last week of January and goes primitive for a full week then the flatlanders show up for the last three days. It's sponsored by the Florida Frontiersmen, a black powder shooting club and you can shoot almost every day if you want. They have a wood walk, paper targets, primitive targets, pistol shoots and just about anything else you can think of. The Rendezvous is really well done also with about 1,500 people showing up for the event.

I try to get everyone I can interested in traditional muzzleloading.

Guys, you have no idea how much I miss dating, networking, rendezvous! But, unfortunately, going through a pandemic, I have already forgotten how to flirt with a girl.

That isn't the kind of rendezvous we're talking about.

Not actually a Rendezvous, but in my area we have the Ft. Frederick 18th Century Market Fair, although it has been canceled for the past two years. I am hoping that it returns next April.

I was happy to see the Memorial Day rendezvous in this area was SWARMING with young people. There is hope!
I have found myself roped in to being involved in organizing the western nationals this year. One thing I am full of, is advise from long experience! We won't talk about the other things people say I am full of.

Well, that was a quick ban. Good example of an ass hat.
