Been really amiss about updating this thread. The fall shoot is going on this weekend. The last couple of shoots were a little slim due to covid-19. I understand there are several new vendors and attendance has picked up. If y'all are close by it will be worth attending. Hope to see some old friends tomorrow.
 
Went to the Saunders Memorial muzzle shoot at Luther Owens park. Connected with some old friends, made a couple of new ones. I was surprised to find some of my old friends were still with us. Also surprised to see many younger shooters, the firing line was busy and packed. Got to handle a pristine Charleville Continental musket from the revolutionary war. It sold for $1995 a little rich for me sigh.
 
The Early Arkansas Reenactors Association (EARA) used to ronny there. I never attened one at that even. Miss those days. They have a web site for info. Good group. BTW, I have been told there is some high quality chert flint in that region.
They have moved this one a few miles out of town. Pretty nice setup.
 
Anywhere but the cities, most rural counties like mine have no restriction on shooting. I can shoot off my decks all day long.
However to attend and shoot the Arkansas Muzzle Loading Association, sponsored shoots like the one coming up you need to go to the range.
 
We went to the muzzle shoot today. Met with some old friends and were disappointed with the turn out. So many of our friends are no longer with us and a couple could not attend due to health issues.
I think the weather forecast may have contributed to the amount of shooters and vendors alike, that did not make it. We were supposed to have heavy winds and lots of rain from the remnants of hurricane Helene, that devastated our neighboring states. However the weather was great no rain and sunny.
