    Hawken Classic 2024 - New Venue

    The city of St. Charles will only allow black powder shooting of blanks. No lead. We will have a canon fire and if anyone wants to shoot powder from the original Hawken brought by the Hawken Shop, they can fire over the river.

    Hawken Classic Location Cancelled by the St. Charles County Parks Department

    They never used that as a reason but they don’t feel that rendezvous’ align with their mission statement. Our event was a history education event and that is what doesn’t align with their mission. We will find a better location that does support American History.
