Black powder pistol competition

[Pdheald]

What games can I play with my Remington 1858 black powder pistol? And does any one know if there are any matches around Chattanooga that I could go watch and maybe take part in?

Last how do you practice for competitions like this?

Sorry, can't say for certain which ones have pistol matches.

The national matches in Friendship, IN have a large number of BP pistol matches. Great fun and among the friendliest, most helpful shooters around.

Practice by shooting bullseyes at 25 and 50 yards.

Cowboy Action Shooting has a class for cap and ball. Not my thing so can't give much details.

Civil war reenactors also shoot revos but I know less about them than CAS.

I know there is a civil war BP competition group that shoots everything from pistols to cannons, muskets & more, with a big national event and lots of local ones. I am not sure who to go to for it anymore, its been 10 years since I went a couple of times with a work buddy (long moved away) but I am sure they are still active. Not sure if your gun qualifies, but they seemed to allow almost anything BP including an event for henry rifles so odds are it counts. They dress up for it somewhat. Someone on here surely knows more than I do from here, or maybe you can bing it.

check out the Chatta. gun club on Hunter road. They have monthly match.Pistols at 25, rifles at 25 & 50. They are a lot of fun.
