The Vermont Bayley Hazen Blackpowder Club plans their summer shoots for the last Saturday of each month. In October, due to weather, the shoot is usually on the 1st or 2nd weekend.

From Bob Lindermann, club member,

“All of our shoots are woods walks, load from the bag on steel targets. Our members volunteer to host at their own farm, deer camp, etc. This year due to the whole COVID situation, we had our first "trial run" after small groups were again allowed to meet. Masks, distance between shooters on the walk, etc. bring your own food. It worked as our group is usually fairly small. Right now, we sort of want to stay very small till things settle down, just due to the nature of things.

We are spreading the word via snail/email invitations to know where to meet, to our list of around 30 shooters. Others can call or email me, but right now we are sort of screening people we don't know to remain safe, and make everyone feel comfortable getting together again. I also organize a Primitive Biathlon in February in NH and Harland Blodgett does a Primitive Biathlon as well (also listed, but all his shoots including the Territorial we cancelled this year)”
