Centered around blackpowder, a lot of history, tons of advice and great people all around. You can buy anything from a pistol or rifle kit to build yourself, to a hunk of maple to make your own stock. There are seminars, early time encampments, and a cannon that fires a 1/4 lb of BP every hour on the hour. A lot of great knowledgeable folks from all over the country gather here to show off their goods, sell some, and pass along their trades.

Two years ago, they had an antique rifling machine from the 1800's. As a machinist, I stood in awe. Check the link for more details.

They will be making a barrel scratch from iron this weekend. Just that is worth checking out.
