Black powder shooting clubs in east Tn

[Guest cardcutter]

HI

Are there any blackpowder clubs in the Ea. Tn area. I am looking for reenactors,long hunter, mountain man type groups in the South East Tn area. We are currently memberss of the David Crockett Long hunters. Lawrenceville is just too far to drive for the monthly shoots.

Thanks

Jim

I wish I could help you. I'm looking for a group in middle Tennessee. I may just stay to myself and do my own thing. Who Knows...

You might try the David Crocket long hunters down in Lawrenceburg.i am not sure how far that is for you. They shoot the third sat of the month at the state park.

They are about 1 1/2 to 2 hours from me. I've been down to "Davey Crocket" days before. It's always a fun event.

There is a civil war BP group somewhere (actually lots of them around the north and south) and while they do wear a uniform, its really a shooting group. I cannot remember the details, only went a couple of times, but they did various pistol, muzzle loader, and all the way up to henry lever's and at the big events, they had morter & cannon as well.

Not sure if it is "too old" or far back for you, but we had a group of Revolutionary War reenactors at the Jon Sevier Range in Knoxville a few weeks back for a youth event day. Guy in charge said they had a bunch of members in the area and they did a bunch of events all over the south. They were all decked out in the uniforms and did some live firing demonstrations. Was pretty neat to watch.

Not a PC/HC club, but there's Elk River Longrifles down here in Tullahoma, though I suspect it may be as bad a drive for you as Lawrenceburg.

We shoot the second Saturday of the month on a private field just off AEDC. Just a friendly bunch of folks who enjoy getting together & shooting our sidelocks. Monthly matches are all for fun/bragging rights (with, possibly, a little side betting )

This coming Saturday (weather permitting) is out annual Fun-Shoot. Card cutting, bullet chasing, ball splitting, string cutting, long range balloon shoot etc.... Prizes are up for grabs, but only whatever anyone is willing to donate

I would love to come and shoot with you guys.However work intrudes, I work the second and fourth Sat each month.

I too, would like to find a BP shooting club. I've got a friend in Sevierville who is a member of a CAS club. Haven't talked to him about it, but I've seen his photos posted on facebook. Looks like extreme fun. When I lived just south of Atlanta, I was a member of the 30th Georgia Infantry, a Civil war re-enacting group. I fought with them for about 4 years and then moved to TN and haven't found any groups here in eastern TN. I sold my musket (Enfield) to another reenactor and used the money to buy a Pedersoli .50 cal flintlock which I really love to shoot. Let me know if any of you eastern TN buffs find a local group. I'd probably be interested in joining.

Thanks,

Rusty
