Black Powder Rifles:
"Carry any gun you want as long as it's flint and shoots a 2" diameter group, 19 of 20 balls, at 50 yards."
Taken from The Long Hunters Sketch Book, by Dr. James A. Hanson.
JLR club members acquire their black powder rifles from various sources. These rifles can range in value from kit rifles worth a few hundred dollar to custom guns worth thousands. Some still, are lucky enough to sport family heirlooms handed down from generation to generation. There are a select few of our members who have delved into the tedious task/art of building their own custom rifle or smooth bore. The time and effort they put into such a project can be very rewarding in the end, once a person is able to put a ball on target with their very own creation. Off course the end result with every gun you may fire is being able to have fun whilst outshoot your opponents. And If you can use a cheap kit gun to outshoot someone using a high priced custom job, then more power to you! We strive to have fun in our friendly competitions, but the number one goal for all those attending is SAFETY!
