North South Skirmish Association 150th Nationals-
A few more pix-
Shooting often lasts till last light.
Preparing for the Carbine match-
Want to complain about muzzleloading dying off? Well do nothing and it WILL happen. We make it a point to involve youth in black powder whenever possible.
Group shot just prior to the start of the Musket Match
And here we go! Match is underway and the fog is getting thicker by the second. If you never have been to a N-SSA match, there is no describing the noise, the smoke and pace of competition. The noise isn't just muskets booming, but also of minies whistling downrange, impact of minies on harder targets can be heard, and shooters shouting encouragement to their teams.
Sometimes we can relax and wave hello to our friends
If you know, you know.....
More from the Musket Match-
In many old organizations, some traditions fall by the wayside as the membership ages. The march into the range by the N-SSA members is one of those. There is a group of us actively working to revive that tradition and we march into the range with drums, fifes and colors. It doesn't matter what side, we honor all those who fought and invite all units to fall in.
