The North South Skirmish Association is shooting Regional Skirmishes again. Next one in the NC area is on Mar 20/21 at Allison Woods Learning Center just north of Statesville, NC. We are NOT a reenactment group. We ARE a competitive shooting organization centered around Civil War era arms including artillery and mortars.
On Mar 20, the schedule will most likely be individual bullseye type competition with part of the range dedicated to letting guests get some trigger time on Civil War arms at targets similar to what we shoot. Late morning the focus will shift to competition. I'd have to check the final schedule but if it's run like the last one we held pre plague, the order will be Revolvers, Smoothbores, then Carbines and Repeaters last. On Sunday am, we have a ceremony and then move into Musket competition. Sometimes the Repeater class gets moved to Sunday after muskets. We shoot as teams in head to head competition at breakable targets against the clock, fastest time/most targets wins. In all the types of competition I've shot, I haven't found one like this or as much fun.
From Statesville, take I77N past the I77/I40 interchange. The first exit is Hwy21. Take that exit, at the bottom of the ramp turn right onto Hwy21. Go 3.5mi till you cross the Little Yadkin river (a creek really) and Allison Woods Outdoor Learning Center is on the right. We're at the back of the property where the range is set up. We'd be glad to have guests visit.
