This is where public or private events that are outside of the Gemmer club will be listed. Events can include shooting events or muzzleloader show type events.
There was a total of 11 shooters for this year’s event. We had a great time and we thank Joel Gard for hosting the event again this year. This is a 10 shot event, shot prone from a chunk of wood at a target 60 yards out.

For the last three years Greg Grimes, Bob Browner, and Dean McKibben have generously been sharing their gun collections with us at the Hawken Classic. This has resulted in a once in a lifetime display of original and contemporary Hawken and Missouri made rifles that the public has the opportunity to see.
Greg has informed me that he has five new additions that he will be bringing to the last Hawken Classic for 2025, on May 16-18. Dean McKibben also has been given a larger space for displaying his collection, so we should see many more new displays there as well.
Here is a preview of the new pieces Greg will be showing:
