Pine Ridge Muzzleloader Fall Shoot 2021
I did pretty well in the Pine Ridge Muzzleloader shoot this fall in Huntsville, Missouri. There was about 30-ish shooters. I came in 2nd place in the smoothbore competition. They had 14 camps set up this time. Even had some people come in just to shoot. This is a small shoot compared to the one they host in the spring time!
