Experience the pre-1840s fur trade era at the 39th Annual Sonoma Valley Muzzle Loaders Rendezvous on April 18-21, 2019 at the Marie Hill Ranch in Yorkville, California. Dressed in period garb, rendezvous participants will compete in target shooting, tomahawk throwing, fire making and other skills the mountain men of the fur trade era needed to survive in the unforgiving wilderness.<\/p>\n

While some rendezvous require strict adherence to period garb and proof of significant primitive skills to participate, the Sonoma Valley Muzzle Loaders Rendezvous is more relaxed. Although pre-1840s dress and camps are encourages, members are just as likely to sleep in a fully loaded RV as they are in a period appropriate teepee.<\/p>\n

The Sonoma Valley Muzzle Loaders, hosts of the rendezvous, are a group of men & women that celebrates the skills of surviving in the pre 1840s. We hold monthly shoots and an annual rendezvous and treks. We shoot period correct trade guns, rifles, and pistols as well as practice hawk & knife throwing and flint and steel fire starting. We welcome all interested parties to join us at the spring rendezvous and fall trek.<\/p>\n
