We are a family orientated club interested in shooting traditional black powder firearms and in preserving the history of the pre-1840 fur trade era. Members have access to our range for their use, may participate in our club shoots and events and camp in our primitive or modern areas.
Members receive a monthly newsletter that includes upcoming scheduled events, reports from the monthly shoots and other interesting historical information.
We are dedicated to spreading our sport and including new people in traditional black powder shooting and historical reenacting sometimes referred to as “buckskinning”. We do this by spreading the word about our club and by sponsoring and helping out with activities for Boy Scouts and other youth groups. It is only by sharing what we know and enjoy that our sport and history will survive.
The objective of the club shall be to encourage and advance organized shooting of muzzle loading firearms, to promote higher standards of sportsmanship, safety, good fellowship among those who participate in such sport and to promote understanding of our heritage though historical interpretations.

Camping Rules and Info:
Members of the club and guests may camp for free in our modern or primitive
areas. We do not have electrical or water facilities and we have a very
limited supply of wood, so please bring your own. Please take your trash
with you, as there is no trash service.
In the primitive area, we require that all tents be of suitable pre-1840
white canvas style. Non-period items should be kept inside your tent or
covered. And we request that pre-1840 attire be worn by those camping in the
primitive area. We are fairly lenient in this, as we are trying to encourage
beginners. We only request that everyone make an honest effort to have a
good historical experience.
Vehicles are allowed in the primitive area only for loading and unloading,
they should then be parked in the modern area.
