Hey Everyone,

The 21st Annual Hawaii Historic Arms Association "Gettysburg/ Civil War Memorial Shoot" will be on Sunday July 2 from 8am until 11am at rifle benches 94 or 96 to the end at 105. Some of us will be there from 7am. All of us will be shooting some sort of muzzle loading and black powder firearms. I invite and welcome everyone here to come down and enjoy watching and/or shooting our black powder and muzzle loading firearms. Some of our members dress the part. You are welcome to do the same.

Come on down and enjoy the smell of black powder in the morning!!!  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Awww, yes. I wasn't awake this morning when I typed this. The Black Powder Shooters are members of the HHAA but it is the HHAA that is sponsoring the Gettysburg/ Civil War Memorial Shoot.

Sorry about the misleading information.

We had a great time with HHAA and learned a lot about the different types of rifles and it was the first time I loaded a muzzleloader.  The most interesting gun I shot was the 9 shot revolver with a 2nd shotgun barrel.  We need more old tech.

Everyone was very helpful.

I thought I read on your website that cannons weren't allowed. LOL

So which side won the war this time?

SHHHHHHHH!!!! That's not a cannon. It is a large caliber black powder rifle.  :geekdanc: :geekdanc: :geekdanc:

The side on the right always wins.

As the saying goes, might makes right until they've seen the light!
