"The Kentucky Challenge"

       "The Kentucky Challenge" is held once every Spring and Fall. Jeff Hankins of Hankins Custom Rifles hosts the tournament just outside of Cynthiana, Kentucky. Targets range from 100 yards out to 444 yards. Five covered concrete benches provide a stable platform for the event. We shoot rain or shine with relays of 5 shooters. You will not get wet shooting if it rains. Plenty of shade when the sun is high in the sky. A great shoot with a friendly family atmosphere and great food. The first known organized event of its kind primarily for smokeless muzzleloaders, however all muzzloaders are welcome. "The Polar Bear Shoot" is an animal of it's own. Come and join in on the fun!
