Further Up The Trail. The 7th US Infantry. Yipper T. Haywire. Weapons of the Mountain Men. A big part of Rendezvous is taking part in the different matches that take place there.

Inline muzzleloaders, though they are still allowed for hunting during certain states' muzzleloading season, have no place in primitive shooting.
