A lot of times our theme has been based on battles or different historical characters.

We shoot out here at the (Rowan County Wildlife Association) range the first Thursday of every month, rain or shine.

There are other shooting matches open to the public.

There's not the same coldness you find at other competitive events.

These are not people you might associate with firearms ownership or competition. We have a lot of diversity in the sport today. We have dental assistants, bank managers, teachers and textile workers. We have teenagers and people who are in their 70s.

There are no clip-fed or semi-automatic guns here. All of the guns are pre-1900 in design.
