Georgians on the firing line at the Brierfield, Alabama Skirmish in March of 1998. Both Skirmishers and Re-enactors portray Civil War soldiers.
Skirmishes are weekend affairs.
Civil War Military Issue firearms such as Revolvers, Carbines and Rifle Muskets in the different classes of competition. Some Skirmishes also feature Individual Matches using Henry and Spencer repeaters. Usually 1st, 2nd and 3rd Place Medals are awarded in the different classes to the winners. Saturday afternoons at skirmishes are usually devoted to Smoothbore, Revolver and Carbine Team Matches. All day Saturday at a skirmish, the firing line is a pretty busy place.
