Black Powder



The Franklin County Sportsmen's Club has an active contingent of Black Powder enthusiasts!

In regular use on the ranges are flintlock rifles and pistols, percussion rifles, pistols and revolvers, black powder cartridge rifles, and even the occasional matchlock.

Club members are always happy to introduce Black Powder Shooting to interested fellow members.

Come to the Club's annual Black Powder Field Day or one of the black powder educational events our members offer.

Or just look for smoke on the ranges!

If you are interested in becoming a member, please visit the Become a Member page, which describes the application process.
