Biggest turnout in a long time
« on: August 03, 2020, 03:02:49 PM »
Yesterday at our monthly match we had 34 shooters, I think. We used to average around 18. We are welcoming new members more regularly. Our new secretary has been a real difference-maker. Facebook, Instagram, website are always busy with muzzle-loading posts, not just club news. Only trouble is, some real good shooters are showing up!

I love to hear stories of the sport growing, not shrinking.

Glad to hear it Rich. Hopefully y’all hugged lots of startled fellers and welcomed them to the fold.   ;)

Very encouraging! Our sport is far from washed up. There are too many good folks out there that love muzzeloading that won’t let it slip away.

VERY cool, Rich! Muzzleloading might not be huge in the shooting sports but it for sure has a very dedicated and loyal following.
