Black powder target rifles are single-shot, breech loaded cartridge rifles that shoot lead projectiles propelled by black powder or black powder substitute. No smokeless powder in any quantity may be used. No gas checks are allowed. Any metallic sights that are period correct, pre-1896, are allowed.

We shoot matches that are mid-range 500 and 600 yards, and long-range 800, 900, and 1000 yards. We have also added a 22LR match shot on Fridays before a BPTR match.  These are 200 yard matches on target to simulate a 200,300, and 600 yard match.  There are two classes a BPTR style rifle and an open class which is anything goes.
