Hey Y'all, the Buffler will be appearing...oh wait, I guess they want people to actually go to this thing... :shake:

OK, there's a shoot this coming weekend (Feb 11-13) in Techumseh, MI. Here are the details.

Welcome once again to the Feb Hog Rondezvous held at the beautiful rolling countryside at DeGroots Range located south of Tecumseh just off Rogers Highway.

Weekend camping will start Friday, Feb 11. Firewood will be provided, however, we recommend that you bring some dry firewood. Each camper will be responsible for removal of his litter. If you can't camp come out and shoot on Saturday or Sunday.

The Saturday woods walk will be hosted by the good ole boy's in the Swamper group. Look out they can come up with some tricky targets. Saturday sign up time will be from 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM. This will be a blanket prize only event, be sure your prize is worth approx. $20.00. The sign up person has the right to accept or reject any or all prizes. The prizes are optional. You don't have to put down a prize to shoot. But if you don't you won't pick one up. Prizes will be awarded after the woods walk shoot is completed. Round ball and patch rifles, Flint or percussion only NO HOODED SIGHTS, SCOPES, OR SHADES ALLOWED.

The Sunday shoot will be for meat prize only paper targets at a set yardage. This will be relay style shooting offhand. Everyone should be able to take home some meat. The sign up time will be 10:00 AM and continue until meat is gone. The entry fee will be $20.00. Meat prizes will be awarded in order of 10 to 15 place relays. There will be no hog roast this year. But there will be hot sandwiches & hot drinks at the line for Sunday's shoot.

The Sauk Trail club has for sale a very nice rifle. This is not a cheap rifle it's a Frontier Standard Blue Rdge model 50 cal. Percusion or can be converted to flint. The asking price is $350.00 anyone interested in this gun can contact the Sauk Trail Secretary/Tina Houseknecht PH: (517) 849-9048 or it will be displayed at the Hog Shoot.

For interested shooters or guest who want directions to the range: Range location 4 miles south of Tecumseh Michigan on Rogers Highway to Kopke Rd. Go west 1/2 mile to Degroots Range entrance is on the North side of road.

This sounds like a alot of fun.
Although not new to ML's I've never participated in such an event. I don't have a persona, traditional clothes and equipment.

I've got several percussion rifles and hunt and shoot often.

Would I need to belong to a club or dress a certain way to participate?
 
Taqua - No, the event does not require period attire, but many will be so decked out. As long as the rules are followed as far as the firearm, you pays yer money and takes yer chances. You would be quite a hike away, though, if your up by the falls!!
