What is a Rendezvous?
Historical reenactment which reflects the dress and lifestyle of early-America’s hunters and trappers is sometimes referred to as buckskinning. Whether the portrayal is that of the western mountain man, the eastern long-hunter, or the Native American, buckskinning allows people to recreate various aspects of this historical period at event such as the Spring Thaw Rendezvous.

The Rendezvous is both a history-oriented and social occasion. Many of the “buckskinners” in the Ball and Arrow Primitive Weapons Club enjoy attending and hosting Rendezvous where we camp in pre-1840 lodging, cook meals over open fires, and dress for that time period.

There are muzzleloading, primitive archery and tomahawk/knife throwing competitions which take place during these events. Other activities sometimes include fire-starting competitions (using flint and steel), games for the children and singing around the campfire. Currently B&A members host three of these camps per year.

Mark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Spring Thaw Rendezvous at the Ball and Arrow Primitive Weapons Club in Roswell, Ohio.
