Rendezvous Match Results – March 2025

We had a nice turnout for our Rendezvous match with 21 Gemmer shooters and 1 MOHA shooter. The match consisted of 7 shooting targets with two shots on each. The maximum points per shot was 5 points or 10 points per target for a total of 70 points. If the shooter dressed out in rendezvous clothing they got 5 points. If they shot a flintlock rifle that was also worth 5 points. We had 3 throws each of a hawk and knife. Sticking was worth 1 point and cutting a card was worth 3 points. The maximum points for the hawk and knife was 18 points if you cut the card with all 6 throws. Fire starting was timed and had a maximum of 7 points if you started the fire in under 10 seconds. Add all this up and the maximum points for this match was 105 points.
