Muzzle Loading Assoc.

[cg21]

I’m just a member of Nmlra and don’t live close enough to take advantage of ALL they have to offer…. But still a member to support them and do some events throughout the year. Anyway just figured I’d pass along the word.. they are doing a special pay 2 years get a Year free. So only $70 for 3 year membership with a subscription to the monthly muzzleblasts publication.

Been a life member since 79.
Life membership is only $1250 and they have a payment plan.

Hopefully they get the membership they need would not like to see such a good tradition / club go to the wayside.

If you what to see how strong the NMLRA is, thak a trip down to one of their national matches. Would be a great experience.

Friendship during the National Matches is a thing to see. We camped last year there and I shot in the Woodswalk. Lots of fun.

When I went (only once and just as an observer) it seemed to me that the focus of the event was the giant flea market and like the shooting and shooting supply areas were second to that. Again not denying a large crowd and this was just my opinion after being there one time.

and yes I will make the LONG drive again this year to see if my mind can be changed.

Back in history- the shooters came 1st, the vendors followed. 1st started selling from the trunks of their cars. (A few still do). In the beginning it was literally a hayfield
It's died down from what it was (vendors wise) but it's still fun to go see all the stuff.

Went to the Spring Shoot few weeks ago to check it out.

I went Tues-Thursday had the best time camped in the middle of a group that had been going for years they welcomed me in to there group and it was the best experience I had camping in years.

I did not see everything I don't think I could if I spent a week there. But every event/Shoot that I went to, everyone was amazingly friendly and willing to talk about there type of Guns/Bows and Knifes events.

I plan on going many more times and can't wait for the next time I can be there.

I am a three year member now...

Just visited and the improvements they have made in a year are really great. If they keep it up this place will be outstanding again. I’m sure the list is LONG and expensive but it doesn’t go unnoticed and is very appreciated. (Especially those new bathrooms wow)

As a kid (1970's) we went twice a year, every year, and it was a great experience for anyone involved.. Went last year, and the year before, the shine has indeed left the bloom, younger people want the hi tech gee gaws, and auto loading whiz bang things. My son thought it was neat, but he doesn't have any interest in front stuffing guns (my fault, to be sure) I never pushed them as much, as a 10/22....

Never to late! Learn some history along with it that is what really sparked my kids interest. (Unsure of your child’s age but the rush Limbaugh “rush revere” series is great to get them going)

Well lol it isn’t too late but I don’t think my book series will have the same effect. Might need something a bit more grown up.

Is anyone going to the Fall Shoot?

Well I was planning on going and camping for the whole thing for my first time ever…… but my dads health is declining and have a LOT of things to do helping him out. So now I will just be going for a weekend, should be a good distraction.

 

[yetti462]

Debating on going, my dad is wanting to take my boy and shoot sporting clays. I have a ton to do. May say to heck with chores and shoot.
