In the course of diving into the muzzleloading world these past few years, I discovered that there are a few clubs out there that offer the chance to explore the muzzleloading world and the period of American history in which these fine arms were king. These clubs emphasize not only muzzleloading, but the whole experience of the 18th (and early 19th) century. Part re-enacting, part living history... they are a great place to meet, shoot and learn. Personally, I have found the Lafayette Long Rifles members to be friendly, helpful and welcoming. And I know the other clubs have equally hospitable memberships.
