Application for membership to the North-South Skirmish Association was submitted on August 26,1957, thus becoming team number twenty nine in seniority and assigned to the Tidewater Region.
Since the rebirth of Mosby's Rangers, they have won the Association's highest achievement, 1st place Musket Team at the 1981 Fall Nationals in Winchester, Virginia. On the Regional level of competition, Mosby's Musket Team has placed 1st in 17 Regional Skirmishes. Their Carbine Team has placed 1st in 19 Regional Skirmishes and their Repeater team has placed 1st in one Regional Skirmish.
Presently our team consist of twenty eight members including three father and son teams, one father and daughter team and one father, son and wife team. In addition to musket, carbine, repeater competition, we also compete in mortar and cannon.
Our team is well balanced in being serious when we have to be,
but also willing to party when time permits.
