Mountain Man Rendezvous

Bill Pruit

The Grizzly Mountain Long Rifles formed in the early 1970’s and the group has grown to 119 families. The Long Rifles are different from other Mountain Man or Rendezvous organizations in that they meet once a month for club shoots and involve all family members. However, they do have two Rendezvous a year. One is their Spring Shoot in May and the other big gathering occurs each February just east of Bend. The Horse Ridge Rendezvous (also called Winter Bend) is one of the largest Rendezvous in the Northwest. Many people come just to shop on Trader’s Row, where they can buy everything from homemade soap to guns.
