Link profile: The Trappers of Starved Rock
Category: Start / Clubs/Organizations
The Trappers of Starved Rock started as a club in 1974. At that time, the
Trapper's were known as the "Front Loaders". This original name was derived
from the method used to load primitive firearms that the Trapper's used. In
September 1975 the first formal meeting was held and the name "Trapper's of
Starved Rock" was adopted. The name was taken from the name the Indians
gave this area, "Starved Rock" because food and hunting were scarce due to the
westward expansion of the white man.
The Trapper's started shooting as a club in 1974. The first club shoot, held in
October of 1975, was at the Daniel Boone Home in St. Charles County. The
Trapper's continued to hold their Annual October Rendezvous shoot at the
Daniel Boone Home until 1990 when the Club moved to the Busch Wildlife area.
The Trapper's remained at the Busch Wildlife area until 1995. At that time they
moved their Annual Fall Rendezvous to the beautiful, scenic valley at Sioux
Passage Park in North St. Louis County. The Trapper's Annual October
Rendezvous is held the first full weekend in October. The Trapper's Monthly Club
shoot is held the third Sunday of each month at various locations.
In July of 1976, the Trapper's became a Charter Affiliated club with the
N.M.L.R.A. Also in that same year, the Trapper's held the first Trade Session or
Swap Meet, which has become an annual event the first Sunday in March.
Another of our Annual Events is the Trapper's Christmas Party, that also began
in 1976. The Party along with The Cookie auction, is a festive time no one
should miss.
The Trapper's of Starved Rock also actively works with civic organizations,
school groups, scouts and other organizations to promote the sport of muzzle
loading, the way of life in the 1700's to 1840 along with the interest in history of
our great country.
