I'm up in gods country ( 70 miles due east of Grand Forks ND. ) I travel to Morristown Mn. once a month ( May-Oct. ) for a shoot on the second Saturday of the month. and I am always looking for more opportunities to go and play that doesn't require me to buy a costume to participate. I also wouldn't be against starting a shoot here>
i think the west side of grand rapids would be a great place to start a monthly shoot we just need a range and someone to host and keep it shooter friendly ie; no costumes required
Morgan MN here. New to the site. Not new to bp. But getting back into sidelocks. First from back in the late '70s, a CVA KLR. Nothing bought till within the last 6 months.
A 50cal CVA Frontier
54cal TC New Englander
50cal Invest arms w/GM 1/28trist
And last but not least, 2-50cal TC Hawken.
Can we say "Obsessed"?

What time do ya get started? I'm an hour and a half west of there. Is there a mailing list to get on for when you get together?
we start 9 - 9:30 and go till ? registration is $10 includes lunch. relay's are 50 cents winner splits the pot with the club. kids are free. we shoot rain or shine covered shooting benches. June 10th, July 8th, August 12th, September 9th, October 14th . We quit shooting in Nov and Dec as nobody was busy with deer hunting and holiday's. Jan -April everybody says it's to cold. So my son and I go shoot with another club on the north side of the cities. They only shoot in the winter.
Just north of Crosby a bit. I don't shoot much anymore. I need to step it up some. I have a few ML rifles, one needs a good barrel lapping. Any good smiths in the central MN region?
why do you think it needs to be lapped? and what barrel is it ?
It's a new barrel, that was part of a custom build. The caliber is 54 in NW trade gun style.
I can feel the machining marks when I load it. It takes way to many cleaning patches to get the residue out. The barrel is just to rough. I have not shot it enough to see if the finish is effecting accuracy. But it is for sure effecting cleaning.
Yes it can be done……. I would recommend shooting the hell out of it at least a hundred rounds before I decided to even suggest lapping. If you’re determined to lap it then go ahead you can do it yourself or pay me to do it. The bigger question is how fine you want it to be? You can also fire lap it
Howdy all,
I live up on the north side of the divide, a bit west of Cook. We shoot at the Virginia rifle & pistol club range just north of Virginia. have two dedicated muzzleloader shoots, one on May 4th this year and the other will be on Sept 2nd . I manage the BPCR and muzzleloader events for our "Long Range Buffalo match and camp Sept. 12th -15th this year. for that we have muzzleloader matches and a great trail walk. Period clothing and gear is optional . we'll also have a long range event at the annual "Squinty Eye" western shoot on August 14th-17th . Muzzleloaders welcome.
I mostly shoot flintlocks, but about everything else from matchlocks to machine guns -- as long as its black powder.....
I hope its OK to post a link to our calendar...
