Planning on going, always hunting for flints and good deals.

My wife and I will be going. She wants to get another sack full of horns for her scrimshaw work.
I need to make a list of what I need for what rifles and what pistols that I have. NO way I can remember, tried that 2 weeks ago when we stopped by Dixons after the Willys Jeep Picnic at the fairgrounds.

Good Lord willin , we'll be at Kempton , Pa.. Excited as always.

I plan to go, probably on the Saturday, and maybe my 12 year old kid will tag along. She's been shooting some matches with me, but her interest outside of those events is low.

It's a great event, but it is heavily targeted toward 'builders'; that's great, of course, but one is more likely to find parts than a finished everyday rifle or such. The new setting is super. Plus everyone will stop at the Dixon's location and everyone benefits! Real gem of an event for the ML world.

Lord willing I’ll be there. Looking forward to it.

Always wanted a classic jeep but never got around to it. Nice to know there's a venue for them at Kempton. The roads are so much fun and beautiful to drive around that part of the Pa. countryside.

There's more horns at that event than the end of the Chisolm Trail roundup!

I plan to go on that Saturday. Will be my first time going. Habe heard a lot about the event but was not able to go. Retirement frees up a lot of things!

I always like to get there 1st thing Friday; that cool horn or neat accessory will be swooped up long before Sat. or Sun.! I don't build, just like to poke around and pick up a bag of lead balls or such. Wonder if anyone will have Caps? Guessin' not!

Springfield Art ....................Call Dixon's Muzzleloader Shop , at Kempton. If they have caps , they might save them for you ahead of time. They're on the way , ya go past the shop to get to the fairgrounds.

 

[Hatman/2nd line]

I plan on going, my shootin buddy who isn't into BP is going too, trying to get him into it!

 

[Paul-in-PA]

The Gunmakers' Fair is the go to show for Muzzleloading. I normally can find a good selection of flints, and spare parts. Normally none of the guns are in my price range or style but still great to window shop. As for horns, very nice selection and some very nice leather pouches.

 

[Hatman/2nd line]

I agree, last year I went and if you can't find what you would like to have......well! This year I might take my fusil to see if anyone would like it.

Just curious, are these horns usually imported or from cattle processing in the USA. Bought two long horn horns said to be Romanian.

Last time I attended was 2018.
I'd LOVE to get over there again this year.
I may make the trek after all.
Here is the 2018 show if you're curious as to what to expect:

It's on my calendar.

I do find it particularly targeted toward Builders, which is great, but never saw much in the way of purchasable guns, except for hi-end. Just sayin', it's a great muzzle loading event, one of the best, but is really geared toward builders; if you don't build (like me) it might be a little less of interest.
