Welcome from East TN

There are quite a few black powder fans up this way, casual shooters, and the band who regularly attend the group meeting. Mareeba have a good following too. Our lads in Townsville have a comp every third Sunday of the month. For rifles, we shoot three targets at various ranges, adopting three shooting positions, offhand, rested on a post or benched as examples - 13 shots at each target, best ten counting. This usually takes the best part of the morning as we chat a bit on arrival, and between sets
- sometimes we have a 'show and tell' whereby a member brings along an interesting item. Then, after the long arms, those with pistols of various types shoot another couple of rounds. We are a SSAA range, but do not prescribe to the rules and regulations required of the main muzzle loading body, excepting the safety rules of course. Mind, we do have some members who travel within Queensland, and interstate, for the major meetings and competitions. I don't, as I have enough distractions to keep me busy! It sounds like you are a good keen man in regard to the holy black.
Cheers, Pete

Thanks Rudyard, good to hear from you. Back in the 1990's I used to come across every Boxing day to attend the Mountain Man Shoot at Waiouru, on the Infantry training camp land, I have many fond memories of those years shooting with my Kiwi "cousins"!!
Thanks Pete, sounds like you have a good group up there! Hoping to visit up that way in a year or two so I will be sure to drop into the range.There are quite a few black powder fans up this way, casual shooters, and the band who regularly attend the group meeting.

Nah few hours south, towards the SA border.
I'm hoping to get over to your beautiful country next year for a hunt. I'd like to take the muzzleloader but powder seems to be a pain.
Welcome from Québec, Canada.
By the way, it is becoming hard to follow when multiple cities around the world share the same name. Sydney Nova-Scotia (Canada) Sydney Australia... and I believe "your" Sidney is in the Good Ol' USA. Right?

G'day Josh, nope, I am from Sydney Australia! I'd better change it to Heathcote NSW as I live on the southern edge of Sydney on the way to Wollongong.
Well, Thank you to have straightened thing out for me. Lol! 
It's like Montreal. There is a Montréal in France, another less than ana hour drive from where I live, still another IIRC in the US and I believe at least another one but I can't remember where. Australia is one country I'd LOVE to visit some day. But mostly for its country side, National Parks etc for I'm not a city boy.
