Register to participate in 44th annual Peninsula Long Rifles’ rendezvous, set July 23-26 in Sequim

SEQUIM — Registration is open for vendors, shooters and campers at the Peninsula Long Rifles’ 44th annual Rendezvous, scheduled July 23-26.

The four-day primitive camp-out for 1840s trapper and trader re-enactors and primitive riflery enthusiasts will include more than 100 flintlock, caplock and primitive archery shooters in range shooting contests.

The camp is located on Slab Camp Road, south of Sequim, just off Lost Mountain Road.

Visitors can attend daily events for free or reserve a campsite. Day visitors do not need to make reservations.

Primitive campsites and “tin tipi” (RV) campsites are available for the four-day family-friendly camp-out.

There are no water or electrical hookups available on site, and a burn ban is in place, so cooking must be done on a gas or propane stove or grill.

Registration must be received by this Thursday for early bird rates.

Traders Row (vendors) registration is $30, plus donation of an item for the Rendezvous prize selection.

For adult shooters 16 and older, preregistration is $35, or $40 after this Thursday.

Adult non-shooters’ cost is $25/$30.

For Junior Shooters, age 10 to 15, preregistration is $20/$25.

Junior non-shooters’ cost is $15/$20.

Children age 5 to 9 are $10, and children 4 and younger are admitted free.

A family rate is available for $70/$75 and includes two adults and dependents younger than 18.

An application form is downloadable at www.peninsulalongrifles.com and should be sent with fees to Peninsula Long Rifles, P.O. Box 958, Port Angeles, WA 98362.
