Competitive Muzzleloading is Cool | Jeff Warner, PA Federation of Blackpowder Shooters
In this episode we're chatting with Pennsylvania Federation of Blackpowder Shooters President, Jeff Warner about his interest in muzzleloading and how its changed over the years.
For Jeff, competition is serious, he practices whenever he can and dry fires his flintlock in his living room. Just before recording Jeff competed in the Pennsylvania State Championship and is now planning for a trip to Kentucky for the annual inter-state muzzleloading competition.
It's not all serious for Jeff though, shooting competitive muzzleloaders is as much about score as it is hanging out with good friends and learning along the way. Since getting more active in muzzleloading Jeff has begun building his own longrifles, his wife Sam just won the PA state Championship with a rifle he built, forging his own knives and collecting accoutrments made by his friends.

The passion Jeff has for muzzleloading has grown as he has. As a young adult he became active in the Pennsylvania Federation of Black Powder Shooters and has been elected President now for several years. For Jeff, it's important to not only enjoy the clubs and events in his home state, he feels that it is important to give back and support muzzleloading clubs to ensure muzzleloading has a future.
The Pennsylvania Federation of Black Powder Shooters is an organization of clubs and individuals interested in activities associated with Black Powder Firearms. The association was started in 1983 as a means for the muzzleloading clubs in PA to schedule events with the best chance to include as many shooters as possible. Since then the group has grown and now organizes the PA state Muzzleloading shoot where state champions compete for first in a variety of matches and classes.
