On June 27, 2020, the Colonel James Wood II Chapter of the Virginia Society of the Sons of the American Revolution hosted a second musket workshop. This event was held to instruct individuals on the proper commands, safety procedures and firing actions to fire black powder muskets from the colonial era. No projectiles are fired, as these individuals become certified to participate in Sons of the American Revolution Musket Salute ceremonies.

Virginia State Color Guardsman of the Year, Brett Osborn, provided the instructions. Sean Carrigan was the demonstrator for the following individuals: Bill Schwetke, Marty Keesecker, Chip Daniel, Art LaFlam, Steve Englebright, Nathan Poe, Marc Robinson and Dale Corey.
