 These will be the last two competitions of the year at the N-SSA (North-South Skirmish Assoc.) located at Fort Shenandoah in Gainesboro, Virginia just 7 miles west of Winchester on route 522. We have the longest firing line of it's type in the world at nearly a mile long.


 The first will be the Stonewall Skirmish Oct. 20-21 with the mortar match at 10am Saturday the 20th
 
 The next match will be the Halloween Skirmish Oct. 27-28 with the mortar match at 10am & artillery match at 4pm


These events are free to the public. The link below will take you to the home page of the N-SSA with directions. There will also be team competitions in Revolver, carbine, musket, smoothbore & repeater. This last all day Saturday & most of Sunday. if you wish to stay the entire weekend a tent site could be made available. There is food onsite as well as everything in Winchester just a few miles away.


 There are many original mortar & artillery pieces you'll see as well as reproductions to exacting detail firing in competition. The largest mortar there will be original and a 8 incher at that. All these matches are something to see in person and HIGHLY ADDICTIVE!!!!


If this has peeked your interest & you require any further info please contact me, Pat Kelly directly at RaiderANV@yahoo.com or call 540-878-8024 Might could even get ya behind the trigger of a few muskets or carbines!
