I shot at Langhorne (Bucks County, PA) today after church. I was able to get in 2 1/2 hours of fun shooting and took one second place prize - a pound of Swiss powder.
When I arrived at 1:30 the shoot had been going for 4 1/2 hours. I was shooter number 28 and a few more came in after me. Fortunately, I was able to find a spot at the loading bench. I walked the line and saw Roger Fisher and the crew from First Frontier Militia. Many of the shooters from Brandywine Muzzleloaders were there as well. I saw Mike Amico from the Central Jersey club as well as Sandy Worthington of the 56th PA Vol. Inf., an N-SSA unit that I shoot with.
This is a blackpowder shoot, so there are events for muzzleloaders, Civil War breechloaders, BP cartridge guns, and pistols. Events are offhand, kneeling, over the log, bench, and make-believe treestand.
My hat is off to Mike and Pat Jarnutowski and their crew for running this match.
Their next shoot is Sunday, 18 November 2012.
