2010 Nature Coast Civil War Reenactment

2010 Live Fire Competition

From 9:00 to Noon on Sunday, we will once again present the Nature Coast Civil War Reenactment live-fire rifle competition. The coordinator of this event is Ray Smutko who has been a member and active participant in the North-South Skirmish Association for a very long time.

Only reenactors over 16 who are members of a reenactment unit will be eligible to participate. To insure safety and consistency, we will provide NSSA approved and sighted weapons as well as powder and ammunition. These weapons will consist of Zouave and Mississippi 2-band rifles. The targets will be standard NSSA competition paper targets.
