This site is dedicated to all the members of the Burbank Muzzle Loaders club. There are members from when the club was located in the Saugus/Newhall area, to new members that have only known the Piru area. No matter how long or how short you have been a member, this is a site for you. Hopefully, it will bring in some new people who would like to know more about muzzle loading, and did not know where to ask questions or find a place to shoot close to them. This is a club full of wonderful and helpful men, and women!!

August 9th was a fire on the public range. The second in a year. The fire marshal ordered all ranges closed until new stiff brush clearance rules were complied with. Far more than ever before so it was September 13th before shooting resumed.

 A lot of bulldozer work and a special thanks to Eric Blakely for weed whacking the metal targets over the hill sides for 10 foot or better clearance all the way to 500 yards.

September 20th was the annual Trapdoor Springfield rifle and carbine shoot. First place rifle John Clevenger 75 8V, second Steve Whitt 75 4V, Third Willie Tamura 74 4V, Tom Trevor 74 4V.

Carbine First Steve Whitt 66, second John Clevenger 48, Third Willie Tamura 38, Tom Trevor 27.

400yard steel plate John Clevenger and Steve Whitt hit it once then shot off John winning two to one.

Nice prizes Swiss powder ,primers, cleaning patches , gun oil.

Thanks to Willie for the donuts.

October 11th will be a silhouette shoot.

 

Weather is cooling down and the range looks great so lets get out and shoot. Tom
