There is an answer to all the questions you ask. All you have to do is become a member of the ASSRA and you will start receiving the Single Shot Journal. This is the official magazine published for all members of the American Single Shot Rifle Association and it is a very Hi-grade publication!. The magazine is full of adds for all types of supplies and information about our shoots then, there is the association library listing which has more information about shooting in ASSRA matches and History about the ASSRA than you can imagine.
So yes, everything is out there, all you need to do is, get your membership.

Here is a link to events;

Welcome aboard,

In the announcement section you will a fair amount of information you asked for . Some of the shoots scheduled and events. The rule book that defines the firearms used, match rules and such. These are the permanent threads at the top.

Here are the rules from a link there

Thanks for this information.

This is helpful to me, and I appreciate it.

I'm just wondering why, if were a society to preserve a shooting sport, then why are we not making every effort possible to let people know "How".

I'm not putting anyone down, or this Organization by any means.
I'm glad I was told about ASSRA, I'm glad to be here, I'm glad to be a supporting Member.

I'm just pointing this out from my perspective of wanting to learn, wanting to gather information as anyone that is new, we want to know, we want to learn.

Teach early, give information readily.

Don't make it where you need to wait for the publication to come out, or ask 20 questions, when it's clear that we came here, because we want to know.

I think at this point on a marketing level if nothing else, give them (Newbies "Everything they want to know.
But not by having to search for it, in areas we don't know where to look yet.

Guy's I think you're missing the point here.
It's not look this up, or that up, or go to this part of the forum or another.
Go to an event.

I appreciate what you're telling Me"

But I'm referring to anyone coming onto the home page
to be able to see what were about, how to get involved
without searching every aspect of the site, that still doesn't tell someone how to start off.
Or asking 20 questions in 45 different spots in the forum, and having no clue where to start asking, on what part of the forum.

I'm again just pointing out, "it would be nice to have a general over all introduction on how to become a supporting member and a shooter at any upcoming event.

So "Not" about me as an individual, but again for anyone new who stumbles upon this site.

Thanks Scott I would love to talk to someone about this, if possible.

The current issue has results from recent medium and long range shoots with the rifle each shooter used, the caliber, the barrel with twist and length, the load, the bullet, the lube, the cleaning method, etc. 10 Minutes of reading would answer almost all the questions you have been asking and would show you why there is no one easy set of answers to your questions. By the way, it will also show that few of the shooters are using rolling blocks;-) There is also a long article by a very good shooter about how he loads and tests. Join the ASSRA and ask to be sent this latest issue.

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.

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.

Here you go. It's in the top row between Handloader and Rifle. (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

Thanks, I'll be sure to make an order.

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.
