Sadly most members are not savvy at promoting the single shot rifle although there a few YouTube videos that help explain or sport and passion, here’s one;

Now, be reminded that was the game at the start of this association but now most shooters are geezers like me and only shoot from the table which ASSRA obliges. That and the collectors, gunsmiths and even historians all contribute to our association. Hopefully you will hang around and join in on the fun and one day make a youtube video that does explain us in full, we need your involvement.

RBHead,
I'm sorry but I have led you astray (but in the direction you have wanted to go). I was alternating reading two magazines and the information I noted was not in the ASSRA Journal (which is fantastic by itself) but in the Black Powder Cartridge news, specifically the winter edition which should be available on any good news stand or in the magazine racks of a good bookstore like Barnes and Noble. This would be the best longer range source whereas the ASSRA Journal is the best (and probably only) source for 200 yard target shooting with our favorite single shots and all the information about all the current and historical single shot rifles and the tweaking of loads for them. Most shooters (but not all) are using smokeless powders here and the historical data on shooters and rifles of the past is unequaled. Again, sorry.

Premod70: Thanks for your kindness, I too am a Geezer, lol.
Long time shooter hunter and project tinker/builder as much as I can out of my house, and shop.

I'd love to do a video of not only events talking about what I have posted, but also to find hunter as well through the ASSRA to create video.

As you said, little to know media on shooting events, what ones I see say nothing about ASSRA, and NO HUNTING video's that I have seen as well.

Thanks oneatatime, for this clarification. I'll have to look online for said publication, as I live in the woods you see, Pooh and me, and we never get to a big town much any more. So if I want something in the now so to speak, I need to order it online, still cheaper than gas, not by much after you factor in the time frame the USPO takes to deliver things these days, but hey, sugar isn't 5 cents anymore and the pony express isn't operating either, which I think was faster.

I'm not sure if I'll get the current issue, as I just joined as I mentioned, when it came out, or if they make a guy wait until the next issue.

But those are the kinds of writing we newbies all need to see. It's hard to keep the drive up so to speak keeping everything current in an older sport. But young blood(Newbies)  with geezer guidance is the ticket I'd say.

Howdy, RBH.
I have 2 seasons under my belt with ASSRA.   
The book "Loading and Shooting Traditional American Schuetzen Rifles A Beginner's Guide", by Randolph S Wright, was-by far-the very best guide to getting started in the game. Virtually anything you need to know to get started and be successful is in there. Here's some info I was able to copy when I searched the ASSRA Forum for "Wright Galleries".

To all Forum members
Please accept my apology for not being visible in recent months. Wright Galleries has been going through some changes and I'm working on getting back online.
The old website is no longer online. My old email is also gone.
Wright Galleries can be reached at:
email: wrights.galleries@gmail.com
I'll announce when I get a site reestablished.

As has been the case for some years, my books* are also available from:
blackpowderspg.com/
buffaloarms.com/
trackofthewolf.com/
or directly from me at: cell: 623-451-9427

Since a computer crash a couple of months ago, I have not been able to use my Amazon account so that outlet is not active at this time. They are a good place to do business but their support for seller accounts sucks.

I don't think you could do better than getting a copy of Randy Wright's book Loading and Shooting Traditional Schuetzen Rifles. After that there's no substitute for attending a match and watching and learning.
