Dixon's Muzzloading Shop was founded by Chuck Dixon whose interest in muzzleloading started as a young boy, and progressed to shooting in the national matches. There, under the influence and direction of Mr. Webb Terry, Chuck began to take an active interest in shooting heavy bench rifles. In 1975 he shot a record group, a target which still hangs in his shop. He followed up with three more records in 1976.

For many years Chuck had been involved in the making and the repair of old guns as well as teaching his trade. He began a small retail sales shop of muzzle loading supplies in a vacated calf barn and over time he developed a productive full-time business. Today Dixon's is one of the largest stores in the country to service the needs of the muzzle loading enthusiast.
