    Forum searches turned up a few older posts from members that participated. Wondering if anyone here currently does these matches?

    I did it several years ago and will probably be going again now that my son has started school.

    I have several friends who are very active in the artillery competition.

    Send me a PM and I can get you some contact info.

    My daughter has a friend who's entire family participate in these activities. Is there something you need to know? Maybe I can ask her to ask her friend.

    The N-SSA BB is a good resource for Civil War arms. The N-SSA Calendar has the various matches listed. Not much left this year, things shut down between November and late March. The Nationals, in May and early October, are well worth seeing.

    I used to shoot NSSA back in the 60’s
    and early 70’s...back when there were still a
    few guys using original leather and lots of
    original weapons. Enjoyed it greatly, and
    now that I am retired, I think about
    kicking back in...still have all the gear from
    reenacting. Would just need mould and such.
    And, a Yankee unit - hard to come by in these here parts - Southern Maryland.

    Not hard at all. Most N-SSA units are fairly scattered - my own has members spread from North Carolina to Pennsylvania. There are a host of Federal units in this region.

    I've shot N-SSA for 58 years, every season since 1961. Team matches, artillery, mortar and individual events (revolver, smoothbore horse pistol, carbine, repeater (Henry & Spencer), smoothbore musket and rifled musket) provide the variety to keep me slinging lead and burning powder. There are hundreds of N-SSA members in this area. We used to have a Spring match ("skirmish") at the Marriottsville range and filled the entire line with teams in several relays back in the "Tuckmantel days." Good times!

    My baby brother and his misses are very active in NSSA. They live near Winchester, so its easy for them. I've been to a couple Nationals competitions and find it very interesting. Plan to attend some more in the future.

    If any you members know the vaudeville act of Joe-Joe and Tama, say "Hi" for me!

    "John Z"

    I have a friend John Z , who's in the Maryland Sons of Confederate Veterans Color Guard with me and he's in his 60's and has been shooting there since he was a kid.

    I went to college with John, U of MD in the early '60s. He is still active, a member of McNeill's Rangers...and, like me, John is in his mid-70s.
