N-SSA Spring Shoot ( North - South Skirmish Association ) Highlights....

[B P Maniac Shooter]

@dave951
My bride and I attended the North South Skirmish Association's annual Spring Shoot in Virginia last weekend.
We kept the cameras rolling practically ALL weekend trying to catch all the fun going on!
I didn't pull the trigger on a gun at all last weekend & LOVED every minute of this event!
Enjoy:

Someday I may get to go there. If only they used Flintlocks…

Nice video but you had me worried for a moment. Your post mentioned you and your bride but the thumbnail shows someone..............how do it put it in a PC way.....................not your bride.

Read it again. The OP was BP Maniac. He directed the first comment at me. In the video thumb it's BP Maniac and Eddie Davenport of the N-SSA.

Someone else said the same comment over on FB.
You will never see Mrs. BPMS on these videos.
Guess the viewer needs to watch it to know the difference.
Thanks for watching...

Probably the best video I've ever seen of the N-SSA Nationals. Thank you for posting.

Would be there and ready to put lead down range but live on the wrong end of the country.

Likewise Dave...nice meeting you too.....and thanks for the hospitality and being a part of the fun.
My bride and I had a fantastic weekend as first timers there. There was too much going on to catch everything that was going on with the cameras.
We will be back again someday.

If you enjoy black powder, you'll absolutely love this event.
I'm posting another one soon that shows the mortars & cannons in use.

Amen on the flintlocks. This definitely was a change of pace for us since I mostly focus on flint shooting.
However, I REALLY enjoyed watching all these shooters use their cap guns last weekend.
It was quite impressive.

I was there to watch for the first time and it was great. Got to see the carbine and artillery competitions on Saturday, and took home a nice original 1863 Springfield musket from Lodgewood.

Great atmosphere and really nice people!

Same. Good to actually meet you. Do appreciate the effort in making this video.

I saw you walking around Fort Shenandoah. Glad you had a good time!

We had a blast! There was so much going on.....we couldn't catch it all on camera.
We are definitely going again and the cameras will go with us!

I did fair shooting carbine on Saturday. Sunday's musket match was much better. I actually hit 4 targets during one event. It was one of my better days!

Maybe they will start a "John Burns at Gettysburg" or "Andersonville Prison Guards" competition to allow Flintlocks into the N-NSA!

Some flintlock muskets are allowed but they must be approved by the Small Arms Committee on an individual basis. They can be used in individual matches and I suppose in team matches too but the N-SSA requires the use of a frizzen stall while loading so one would be at a big disadvantage there. I got approval for my Pedersoli Bess but have never fired it in a match. There are a lot of round ball shooters in the N-SSA but I don't believe there is enough interest to justify having flint only competitions.
