Autumn 2021 Muzzleloading Table Shoot Round Up

Carl King has shared this great information in the “Over the Log and Table Match Shooting” Facebook group. Muzzleloading Table shoots are a rich part of muzzleloading history, dating back to the late 1800s and early 1900s as some of the first shooting sports competitions. These matches grew in popularity in the Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky region and are still scheduled through the American South.
