27th World Muzzle-Loading Championships

Mike OTDP · Aug 23, 2016

I was team captain for the USA at the 27th World Muzzle-Loading Championships in Sarlospuzta, Hungary. Good trip. The USA did OK. considering our limited finances - the prize money paid to a German gold medalist is nearly our entire annual budget.

I might. If there's any interest, we're raffling off a Pedersoli Springfield musket in October. $5 per chance, or 5 chances for $20. PM me if there's any interest.

very cool indeed, when are the championship coming to the USA? Would be fun to go and watch.

We're not sure. The schedule looks like this:
2018: Eisenstaedt, Austria
2021: Pforzheim, Germany (may be moved to 2020)
2022: Buenos Aires, Argentina

2024 is TBD, but Europe is most likely. I'd love to host in 2026, if we can find a venue.

Did you manage to meet the Capandball YouTuber?

Mike OTDP · Oct 19, 2016

Yes. Balzas was running the whole show, he's in charge of the Hungarian team...I have no idea when he slept. Great guy.

Oh, FWIW, a member of Sanners Lake Sportsman Club here in Maryland won the musket. And we raised nearly $3,000 for the USIMLT.
