Shoot Atlanta?
« on: February 22, 2010, 06:12:46 AM »
I just moved to the Atlanta area and wanted to reach out to see if anyone knows of a Black Powder club or place to competitive shooting?  I found 1 club in Dahlonega, GA but all the contact info seems to be inactive or out of date.  Any communication in much appreciated.

Blue Ridge Mountain Men is up around Cornelia.  They don't shoot every month, but they're good folks.  See www.BlueRidgeMountainMen.org for their calendar and contact info for BRMM (and  some other clubs in the area, as well like Griffin LR and the 'Campshooters' in Chatsworth).


And, Brushy Creek ML is 3 hours south on I-75.  That's probably a bit far for you to drive on a monthly basis, but there is the spring shoot  coming up the last week of March.   See  www.brushycreekmuzzleloaders.com for map and shoot flyer.

MNLRA field reps for Ga, look in the current issue of muzzleblasts for a 1/2 dozen or so contacts.  Greg and Tenna Estes are ones I have been in touch with 770.887.6875 nice folks.

ContactSutton,   looks like Blue Ridge MM is having a novelty shoot this coming weekend.  You ought to try and get up there for that.     If you miss that, their metallic silhouette shoot in May will test your mettle, and they'll host the GA State ML Matches and the NMLRA Territorial this summer.

For paper punching competition,  Griffin Longrifles would be an excellent choice.  They have a cadre of shooters who show up at many of the shoots in GA and SC.   If you can hold your own against them boys you can pretty well feel you're on the right track.
