Keep your faith in God, but keep your powder dry.

A picture of my matchlock set up for reenacting. I made the sword baldric and bandolier/pouch myself, but bought the charging bottles and priming flask. Unfortunately since moving to Arizona in late 2019 I have been unable to hook up with any Renaissance/Early Modern era reenacting groups due to Covid but am hopeful for later this year or the next.

Conquistador reenacting?

I was briefly in a group that did English Civil War and Elizabethan Era English. There is a very good Spanish group in SoCal that has an impressive musket drill complete with rest.

I haven't been to the annual Ren Fest in a couple decades, and it was mostly sword and armor types the last time, but there may be some folks involved who do early muzzleloader stuff. I assume you've looked into it since you know the 2021 fest was cancelled, but just in case: Click Here .

Yea I missed the 2020 fair due to an injury. I put it off by a week because of that but then they closed it and that was it. There is an event at Camp Verde this coming weekend I'm going to try to make, hopefully they know of some local places to get powder as I'm down to my last pound.
