So assuming things return to normal some day, where in Alberta do you guys go back to 1800 for a few days? I am interested.
Rendezvous?

In your area, Pincher Creek in July, Lethbridge usually has a couple. Red Deer at least one. Then there are some in Montana I believe. Also a few in BC, just not sure how close to you.

Pincher Creek and Lethbridge are very close. Thanks.
If you join the Alberta Black Powder Association, the newsletter gives info on quite a number of get togethers, including a couple below the Medicine Line. Golden has one that sounds interesting and not that far away.
Thanks, I was looking at their website.

i don't know if they are active. i tried to find out stuff from their site and there seemed to be nothing new or available on there.

Hmmm, if enough people were interested maybe we could just get a rendezvous going somewhere....something to think about.

back in the 80s we did that sort of thing. some good shoots.
Assuming we are able to have events this year, maybe we can figure something out.

i think now a days we have and issue with legal aspects of it. too many laws, rules and lawyers.
I'll so some checking, maybe our gun club could host one. Never know....can't hurt to ask.
Ive e-mailed Lethbridge and the Website for Alberta Black Powder Association and have not had a reply, been a few months back.

I heard back from ABPA a few weeks back...nothing planned yet due to flu season.
Hopefully Alberta BPA can get something organized in 2022....if we're not in the 10th wave of BS by then.

There are 2 shoots a year that the Red Deer Fish & Game put on: 1st one is on the Mother’s Day Weekend. The 2nd one is usually the 2nd or 3rd weekend in Septembe. This year it was September 15, 16 & 17th. It’s on their conservation property SE of Red Deer on the road to Pine Lake (816). Another one is at Circle Square Ranch on the Father’s Day Weekend, just NE of Halkirk. ABPA contact: Mary Brown: [email protected]

There is usually a shoot at the Alberta Fish and Wildlife range east of Sherwood Park (Edmonton area)...not sure about it since COVID, but then again I haven't been overly active for a while.
I used to enjoy time with the Edmonton House Brigade (a troupe representing Free Canadians at Edmonton House...the trading "fort" that is locally called "Fort Edmonton" even though it's not historically accurate). Even did a few dinners in the Factor's house and in the men's barracks.
Speaking of Fort Edmonton....I actually found the remains of one of the old palisade walls while working at the Rossdale site. I'd never seen an archaeologist jump for joy until that day

With a number of changes with the Sherwood Park Fish & Game Association shooting range and it’s new administration; a number of us decided that in our best interest was to leave and join other clubs and ranges. There will be no black powder shoots being held there unless someone wants to take it on. The Edmonton House Brigade still does demos at Ft. Edmonton, Rocky Mountain House, Didsbury and other historic sites upon requests. There’s about 4 of us that still like to shoot in various competitions throughout the province and attend rendezvous’ over in B.C. and Montana, Idaho and Washington states.
