Anyone heard of the Midwest Primitive Rendezvous near Palmyra MO

[luieb45]

I heard about this last year and was wondering what all of this was about. It is near Palmyra, MO and I was wondering if there was a competitive shoot or something like that. I've always wanted to do one of those.

The midwest primative rendezvous is a yearly event put on by the National Rendezvous and living History Association. It is held at different locations throughout the midwest each year. This year I believe it will be in Michigan. Like all NRLHA events it has muzzleloading rifle and smoothbore, competition, primative archery,Knife and hawk throwing. And other primative events and a lot of good food and period correct beverages. For more information get a copy of muzzle blasts or go to the NRLHA web site.I know of no better place to spend a week or weekend than a good rendezvous. If you want to make the drive to
Ohio for the Old Northwest territory Rendezvous in June you are welcome to stay in my camp and learn what it is all about. The events are a one fee for all camping and event enrties.

Darn. I was hoping for something close to home. I just started muzzleloading last year and was wanting to do something like that. Maybe I'll go to one of the shoots in St. Louis some day.

Howdy all. Hey that Ohio shoot sounds like fun. Where at in Ohio will it be and what week in June. I just might have to git to it.

There are a lot of shoots in your area. While the spring Trade faire at Ft. DeChartre is a juried Colonial event, scheduled for April 9, 10, and 11, 2010, you can walk through in street clothes and get a feel for a real period event.

There is also the June rendezvous at Ft. DeChartre the first full weekend in June. Lots to see and usually a decent shoot.

It's not exactly in your backyard, but since no one else has invited you to it yet, please feel welcome to attend the National Muzzleloading Rifle Association's National Shoot in Friendship Indiana. It is June 12-20 this year, and the National Championship will be Sept. 11-19. If you can only make it for a day (better yet, a weekend)go for the opening weekend.
In that week, there's more shooting than you could do in a month, and you can see the best of each of the many muzzleloading disciplines, and you can meet some of the nicest and most welcoming folks you'll meet in your lifetime.

There are also NMLRA territorial shoots across the country, including the rifle and pistol matches May 7-9 hosted by the Fort Osage ML Club.
They are near Lexington, MO. I can get you more information on these shoots, or various missouri ML clubs if you'd like.

It will be at Spencer Ohio. About 15 miles from the Log Cabin store! Which creates a real danger, every time I go to the Log Cabin, I spend all of my money! As usual I'll be there with the popcorn popper, rehydrated apples, and Ice cream freezer. stop in and say Hi if you can! The dates are June 18th to 26th.
