Brush Creek Rendezvous and Shooting Match | Lenox GA

The Brushy Creek Rendezvous and Shooting Match in the Lenox GA area is one of the largest, shooting matches in the Southeast. Five days of shooting, tradin’, and stretchin’ the truth, starting on Wednesday, and ending on Sunday Noon. Awards given out on Sunday afternoon. Dates are March 18-22, AND ITS A GO!!! They have matches in paper, primitive, hawk & knife, archery, & BPCR. Big potluck dinner served on Saturday evening. Sunday afternoon, winning raffle prizes are drawn, this year a T/C Hawken Rifle and a replica Colt .44 C&B revolver. 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place ribbons will be awarded along with a pick from prize table. Almost every winner took home a pound of black powder last year. I have been attending since 1995, and its an eight hour drive from NC. Folks from NC, SC, GA, FL, & AL attend yearly. Last year, about 150 were in attendance, including about 90 competitors. RV camping & primitive camping available, and a cook house provides meals, daily. There are about fifty to seventy black powder firearms for sale here on “Sutler’s Row”. Here are a few snapshots from last year. Hope y’all can come.
