Muzzleloader

This is one of the four shooting events. Targets are either paper NRA Animal targets or metal silhouette targets set at short, medium and long range. Targets varying in distance from 20 to 75 yards, with scoring areas determined based upon type of target (s) used. Participants will shoot from three positions. A participant will be allowed fifteen minutes per position with the complete course to be fired in 45 minutes.

Participants will shoot the muzzleloader course in a natural setting. The course is designed to simulate shooting situations encountered while hunting.
