Ethan – Instilling a Passion for History in Future Generations

Our friend Ethan over at I Love Muzzleloading presented at the 2023 Kalamazoo Living History Show with some concrete ideas of how to share our passion for history and muzzleloading with others.

Here’s his full presentation . .  .

I really liked how Ethan grouped together the various aspects of the muzzleloader hobby – target shooters, woodsrunners, living historians, experimental archeologists, etc into a muzzeloading community.

Ethan has some great ideas for things we can all do to make sure our common passion can be passed down to future generations.

Details on the Texas Association of Buckskinners Fall 2020 Rendezvous!

From “Just Josh,” TAB Quartermaster:

Apologies for the delay in providing this to everyone… The Board held off on making the decision on moving forward with the Fall ‘vous until we got a good idea if the Governor would be issuing any orders that would affect our having a gathering of this size.

There is cut and deadfall wood onsite… please bring water for your camp.
Remember that this is an election year for the Club Officers,,, The President, Vice-President, and Quartermaster positions’ terms will end at this ‘vous and will be up for election during the business meeting Saturday before the prize blanket.  If you have been thinking about serving in one of these positions, but weren’t sure about the duties, please talk to one of us during the ‘vous.
President – “Big” John Donahoo
Vice President – “Blackpowder” Jim Branson
Quartermaster – “Just” Josh Kuntz
More details are available, including the flier and a map on the Events page.
