Hear ye, Here ye:
Come one and all to the first
Come if ya like grit in yer teeth!
Come if ya don’t like grit in yer teeth!
The event will be open to all firearms using black powder or modern equivalents such as Pyrodex.
If you’re a seasoned BP shooter,
come and show off your hardware.
If you’re moderately experienced,
bring your firearms and have fun and learn from each other.
There will be non-competitive shooting for all.
If you’re new to black powder,
even if you’ve never touched a BP firearm,
come and experience the flash and boom.
We will have firearms for you to shoot with coaching.
We practice safety, so come and murder a redcoat.
Ladies, you’ll love it.
Do you have a problematic black powder gun? Bring it along,
somebody will have an answer for you.
Not so sure about cleaning black powder?
We can have a cleaning session after the shoot.

What equipment do you need?
Recommended equipment is a center-fire rifle and center-fire handgun. Rimfire is allowed but certain targets may not fall with rimfire cartridges. Rules will be posted to the Dunhams Bay Fish and Game Club Inc. website and are available by emailing the address above.
Those wishing to shoot handgun MUST have a strong side, OWB holster with sufficient retention to hold the pistol while moving
Those with only a rifle or only a handgun can still come shoot! Everyone is encouraged to come shoot as much or as little of the match as you are comfortable with.
Ammunition: You’ll want to have at least 50 rounds for your rifle and 100 for your pistol. All stages can be completed with less than that, assuming you never miss, so more is better!
Magazines: You’ll want as many magazines as you can carry because you WILL be reloading on the clock so bring all the mags, stripper clips, chargers, or en-bloc clips you can!
Who can sign up?
ANYONE! Ok, not quite anyone. You must be 18 years or older OR 12-17 may compete with the permission and direct supervision of their parent or guardian.
All the stages are designed so that anyone who knows the basics of safe gun handling and basic marksmanship can complete every course. Some will be harder than others, but everyone should be able to get through it!
