Joining the 48th VA is easy, and you don’t need to show up with your own musket or gear. We welcome new members of all experience levels, especially those who are just getting into the sport. If you're interested in competitive Civil War-era shooting, we'll help you get started by providing loaner equipment and hands-on instruction. Our team members are always happy to assist with loading, outfitting, and making sure you feel comfortable on the line. All you need to bring is an interest in marksmanship and a willingness to learn. Reach out to us we’d love to have you on the line with us at the next skirmish!
