Lake Cumberland American Longrifle Show | 2024 Event Tour | Muzzleloading Accoutrements Art and Gear

This week we took a little trip down to the slice of heaven that is Kentucky to visit the Lake Cumberland Kentucky Rifle Show. This was the 30th Anniversary of the show and truly a highlight of my time in muzzleloading. With 65 tables full of contemporary accoutrements and antique pieces it was a great weekend seeing amazing artwork and visiting with friends old and new.
The audio in this video is recorded from the 30th Anniversary presentation about how the show started. I've included it to share a wonderful story of friends coming together to make something great. The audio quality isn't the best, but the story needs to be heard. Often times things seem impossible to get off the ground and it feels like the world is agasint us, but stories like the one told here really show that muzzleloading and it's place in American culture can and will survive well into the future.

What can you say but Wow !!!! Thank you 🤠

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

My pleasure!!

[@eddybear771]

That's a museum of art work.

[@DavidHBurkart]

This is very cool, about 2.5 hours or so away from my home. I may have to calendar this for next year

[@travisrains3659]

I live across the lake from Jamestown Marina in Clinton Co. Ky and have never heard of this event. I will attend next year.

This was really cool.

[@alanparadis5061]

Great footage and comments, thank you for sharing, looks like it was a great snow for sure! So many beautiful muzzleloaders and supplies!

Nice viedo. I have known Mel for 30+ years, great guy. I live about an hour away from the show and a little over an hour away from the Alvin York Shoot in Pall Mall Tenn.,. I live in Monticello KY. You should make it to the York shoot it is something else. I have done well there in the past years, Shot the best X in 95, and placed in the top 10 once, top 20 once or twice. That is hardest place I have ever shot, makes Friedship look easy. Keep up the great work.

I think this was the first muzzleloader specific show i've been to. Really enjoyed it, got to see some people i haven't seen in a while. Was really cool running into you as well ! Looking forward to the CLA show in Lexington this fall. All this time i never knew it was so close to me.

[@dougdukes1039]

Thanks for leaving the presentation speech on with the pictures. That was great to hear.

Interesting that original fowling piece from the 1780's has a rear sight.

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]
