2019 CTAGA Fall Rendezvous

Rate This Event

 

Join us at the 43rd Annual CTAGA Fall Rendezvous on October 18-19, 2019 at the Chisholm Trail Antique Gun Association Shooting Range in Benton, Kansas. The CTAGA Fall Rendezvous has been an institution among muzzleloaders since 1976. A festive, three-day gathering of buckskinners and other muzzle-loading enthusiasts, and their families, this event draws participants from far and near to enter shooting contests, to camp, to trade, and to enjoy the good fellowship that typify the rendezvous. The rendezvous is held at a splendid, forested site along the Arkansas River near Oxford, Kansas.

Each fall since 1976, Chisholm Trail Antique Gun Association has hosted the state’s largest rendezvous, a festive, three-day gathering of muzzle-loading enthusiasts to commemorate an 1830’s fur-trade rendezvous. These are family affairs, and it is customary for participants to dress in period clothing. Many also camp in the primitive style of the period.
