Siege of Ladysmith Shoot
Any one headed to Ladysmith this week end for the shoot? I had a great time at the shoots while I was living in SA!
Pleas pass my warm regards...

Hey Doug
I speak for myself, but I had no idea the shoot was on this w/e.
Can you ask the powers that be to post something on gunsite.
I know I would be interested.

Re: Siege of Ladysmith Shoot
The Siege of Lady Smith shoot has been held at the MacMasters farm for over 30 years. The Durban Black Powder Rifle club is the main sponsor. Clubs from all over SA are invited with most participants coming from Johannesburg and Durban. They conduct a Blackpowder Provincial Match for rifles and handguns used in the 2nd Anglo-Boer Disagreement.
When I lived in Durban, I belonged to the Durban Blackpowder Rifle Club. The Siege of Ladysmith was the highlight of the year. The Gents in the club made sure I was able to have access to powder and rifles so I could shoot--a Swinburn. At Ladysmith I learned that no one had been able to make that Swinburn shoot...I did manage to get 14 rounds fired in the Mad minute and even hit the target once the first year. The Second year I fired 10 rounds in the Mad Minute ands scored 32, I considered that a sucess.
Since my return to Montana, I have put on a Provincial match here and it was well received. But I do miss the fellowship of the Siege of Ladysmith shoot.
