I would love to attend a rendezvous where these folks are all decked out in their period finest. Very cool. Hats off to you PT for giving it a "shot".
Rendezvous' are a lot of fun. Went to quite a few with a couple I used to shoot with. They were all out, we camped in a teepee, he had mountain man leathers, shot a flintlock, she had a brain tanned leather indian dress. I never got around to making my leathers but I did have drop front pants and a old style shirt, also a blanket Capote. Some of the larger ones had traders selling everything from beads to rifles.

Best one I went to was put on by a local guy, he had a nice meadow for camping and the road up to it was next to a ravine where he had set up multiple silhouette targets to shoot at as you walked up the road. Last target was a small deer silhouette he had on a zipline so you were shooting at a moving target.
