Looking to learn in NY

[Brian Robeson]

Hello everyone. I recently started getting excited about flintlock rifles. I have been listening to the I love muzzleloading podcast and want to learn more about these older firearms. While there is a lot of information online, I learn best in person and I want to get my hands on some of these.

If anyone is around the Saratoga area of NYS I would love to trade some money for time and learn about muzzle loaders and maybe build a kit?

I shoot PRS in the New England area and have been an avid shooter since I was 16.

Thanks!

There is a club in Schyulerville not far from you. The old saratoga muzzleloading club. www.oslmc.com

Oh wow thank you I had no idea and could not find it on Google. I appreciate it.

Hi Brian, I sent you a message with some suggestions. I'm in Ballston Spa, and am still on my learning journey with these pesky things.

Thank you Colimr, I looked at it twice and didn't see it was wrong.

I'm about ten minutes from there. Quiet most of the time but whenever anyone else is there, they're quite friendly. And the membership fees are cheap compared to some of the other clubs I've been a part of. If you end up joining, perhaps I'll see you up there. I'm sure my wife would love it if I bored somebody else with my enthusiasm for blackpowder

Greetings from the Lake George area. Dunham's Bay is my home club. Not many flintlock shooters. I draw a crowd when I do. I hosted a shoot last spring and hope to do so again next spring, probably at the Whitehall (NY) Fish and Game Club. Watch this space!

I’d love to learn from you. Trying to get another of my friends in the area into it as well.
