Farm. The Skirmish is being
hosted by the Lancaster Fen-

kets. Each group of shooters
will be dressed in colorful
uniforms patterned after
some active unit that served
during the Civil war.
The shoot will begin at 1
p.m. and will consist of sev-
eral events or relays, ending
with a group of musketeers
actually sawing a 6-inch tim-
ber in half with musket balls
Other matches will in-
clude breaking of 32 clay
birds fastened to a board,
clay birds hanging on a wire;
oil cans filled with water and
dangling from wire; breaking
of clay flower pots and final-
ly the stake cutting.
In addition, a team of
modern rifle shooters from
the Mount Joy Sportsmen’s
Association will challenge
the muzzle loaders to a
match pitting the M-1 rifle
against the musket.
