Membership

Thank you for your interest in Fort Atkinson Muzzleloaders, Inc. We have been actively promoting Muzzleloading since the early 1970’s.

Currently these are the facilities available: 25yd, 50yd and 100yd Muzzleloading Rifle and Pistol Range with covered shooting stations. The range is open year round. You, as a member of the club are part owner and have access to the grounds at all times. There may be some days when work is going on and the range is closed, or there might be a match in progress.  

Each month there is a General Membership Meeting that is open to all members. We meet the third Weekend of the month either at the range or a location to be determined. All official business is conducted there by consensus of the members. There is nothing secret and we cannot vote on an item unless we have a quorum of members present. Anyone may make a motion or voice an opinion. This is your Club. There is a monthly Newsletter which contains the Minutes of the Club meetings, has match schedules, and other items of importance and interest to members.  We encourage you to participate in the operations of the club on the various committees necessary to the function of the club. We also have a need for people to help monitor safety and help maintain range property. We are constantly working on improving the facilities.
