75th Anniversary of the Old Saratoga Muzzle Loading Club 

2024 marks the 75th year of the Old Saratoga Muzzle Loading Club

The club was chartered with the NMLRA in 1949.

 Howard Blodgett, Steve DeMarco, Burdett Sallens, Ray Brooks, and Ken Zeller were some of the founding members.

Organized shoots were held at Howard Blodgett's Gun Shop on his back yard range. In 1958 the club purchased 20 acres of land from Albany Sand and Supply.  Over the years, as more land became avaialble, we now own 103 acres.

The Name of the Range is the Howard Blodgett Range.

 

We will celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Old Saratoga Muzzle Loading Club at the Fall Shoot on August 24th.

Please join us for a Pig Roast style picnic after shooting is complete for the day!
