The Big Horn Mountain Men (BHMM) organization is dedicated to promoting interest and understanding in the art of buckskinning, and the legal and safe use of muzzle loading firearms. We engage in educational, social and charitable programs beneficial to the community. BHMM encourages membership in the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association (NMLRA) and the National Rifle Association (NRA).

The BHMM holds a monthly black powder shoot at a local range the second Sunday of each month at 9:00 am, except December. The monthly business meeting is held after the monthly shoot. The BHMM also sponsors a Rendezvous each year in the San Bernardino National Forest near Big Bear, California. All members are strongly encouraged to attend and help run the events.

Prospective members must attend one business meeting, two shoots (exhibiting knowledge of gun safety, if they choose to shoot), and submit a completed membership application. The BHMM members will gladly teach prospective members interested in learning about mountain men and their skills - shooting, camping, archery, and cooking. Dues are paid on an annual basis on or before January 1st of each year. Dues for new members are $35.00, plus a $20.00 initiation fee. New membership includes a BHMM membership card, club patch, club medallion, and a copy of the by-laws, safety and range rules. New members will be assigned sponsors to answer questions, and help introduce new members to BHMM activities. We also have a new class of membership which is an Associate member: they pay half the regular membership dues and will only receive the newsletter. An Associate member will not have voting rights.
