Welcome to the Central Virginia Region

Welcome!

This is the main site for the Central Virginia Region of the North-South Skirmish Association.

The Central Virginia Region is one of thirteen regions that comprises the North-South Skirmish Association. The N-SSA is dedicated to preserving the history of the American Civil War by shooting original and direct reproduction firearms and artillery of the period. Firing is done at local skirmishes, which have competitive live firing of muskets, carbines, revolvers, breechloading rifles, smoothbores and artillery. Skirmishes, in our case, would be defined as the live firing of period firearms in competition...

I think this effort may help prospective people who are looking for more specific information on a team. Please email myself or Bobby with any questions or other items that you would like to see addressed.

Please let me know if you spot any mistakes on these pages. I have updated what info I have on the Directory, but if there are any other changes please let me know as soon as you possibly can. I will post links to Skirmishes as they come available. Thank for your patience.
