50th Jubilee Celebration
Shoot Time at Manistee
OLD FORT RENDEZVOUS
June 27 - 28, 2009
Dear Fellow Muzzleloader,
The Manistee Clan Muzzle Loading Club invites you and your family to attend
the best muzzle loading shoot in the country, the 50th Annual SHOOT TIME AT
MANISTEE, an event to remember and
a tradition to keep. Mark your calendar for this year's event which will
be held June 27 - 28, 2009 at OLD FORT RENDEZVOUS on
We strive to treat each guest shooter and camper to a weekend of relaxed, low pressure shooting and camping enjoyment. We bring you a shoot with clay breakable targets which are visible with each hit, and provide your palate with the best in hot food served by our Chef, Harry Foster, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. For those who want to cook over a campfire, we provide plenty of firewood.
Remember to bring all of your guns. We have matches for muzzleloading rifle, pistol, rifled musket and smoothbore, black powder single shot rifles and modern military guns. Pack’m all and have a ball at the 50th Shoot Time at Manistee Jubilee Celebration.
Our shoot is set up with this idea in mind; no matter how hard you try, you are not going to participate in all the shooting events. This gives everyone an even chance to win an event...we relieve the pressure on the main range by having a long woods walk (sign up for a time slot). Slack time can be taken up at the tomahawk range or visiting the traders who come to sell their goods. We have a playground for the children.
On Saturday evening after the last shot has been fired, our Chef will serve a hot dinner to please your appetite. When dusk sets in, there is an award ceremony followed by the 46th annual ceremonial meeting of the Northwest Council around the campfire. When darkness sets in, the camp comes alive with music and dancing under the roof of the pavilion till the wee hours.
Sunday morning the roar of the cannon will wake the camp followed by a hot breakfast served by our Chef. We have a Sunday program to give you a half-day of shooting fun, church service for those who wish to attend and plenty of time left to break camp and head back to your home.
For your personal convenience we have showers and flush toilets in the pavilion. For anyone with medical needs, limited power is available.
Where in the world can you have two days of shooting and camping enjoyment for only $30.00? Pack your bags and come to the 50th Jubilee Celebration SHOOT TIME AT MANISTEE and enjoy a memorable weekend of shooting and camping. DON'T MISS IT!!
For more information, please contact our Secretary, Harry Foster, at 231-723-9016 after 6:00 p.m. For our non-camping shooters, we have several motels within four miles of our camp and can assist with your reservations.
Sincerely yours,
Edward Mazeika
Shoot Chairman
