Chabot Black Powder shooters have a shoot the fourth Sunday of every month on range 4. It's not a highly regulated thing. Sometimes we shoot paper, sometimes steel, sometimes ???? but it's always great to get a dozen coal burners together for a day of makin' smoke. We charge $5 for members, $10 for non-members, sometimes award prizes, most times not. We have been known to have a blanket shoot from time to time. The point is fun rather than competition. You need not be a club member to participate. A lot of the shooters wear period clothing and emphasize the historical aspects of muzzle loading arms. Some just like muzzleloader shooting. It's all fun. We encourage beginners, young people and hunters. Got a new muzzle-loading gun and don't know what to do? Bring it up! The veterans are proud of their skills and will show you the ropes. Want to see what muzzle loading is about? Come on up!

Do you do Civil War or any other re-enacting? Odds are you don't get to do much live fire. Well, come on up and learn how that musket really shoots with live loads. Shooting usually starts around 9 AM and we wrap it up about 3 o'clock.
