Looking for trap shooters - muzzleloader

[reddog]

I shot black powder skeet with my Dougall lever sxs and found the doubles to be a bit challenging but as for timing no difference.

I'd be ecstatic just to have a vintage guns event at the Alberta Provincials & Canadians. I spoke with the powers at EGC as they are hosting both shoots this year but was told it wouldn't happen as they already had their hands filled....

Some people wanted to mess with the skeet machines to make for slower and easier targets, instead of shooting on the trap field. I told them to just shoot skeet, but no messing with the machines, because I wasn't going spend time and targets to reset the machines for skeet, just so a few people could shoot for an hour.

I've shot muzzleloader on skeet. You sure don't need to change target speeds.

These people seem more into the social side of the blackpowder events, than they are into the actual shooting. Trap was just a novelty to them, in fact all shooting appeared to be just a novelty to most of them. The numbers for the events are fading so badly, that I don't know how much longer we will even close the range to our members to allow their events to take place. It makes no sense to deprive 600 paying members of the facility for an entire weekend, so 2 or 3 members can host a dozen outsiders for an event.
