Years ago- when I shot a lot of black powder- our club had a kid's event at the annual rendezvous. They shot a flintlock, threw a tomahawk and a knife and some archery targets. One year a young girl, who happened to be a direct descendent of a prominent early settler ran away with the score. The club was thrilled
So was she. First prize each year was an incredible hand built flintlock, with bag and horn She shot that proudly in the monthly matches afterwards
