Spring Nationals NMLRA

[cg21]

Well who is going to head down / over / up to Friendship for the spring shoot? Camping reservations opened up today.

we will be heading that way got a new 10&12 gauge to put through the paces. This will be our first time participating in the spring shoot.

I'll have to let my Dad know. He has been camping there for the past few Spring/Fall shoots.

I'll be down there probably early on the first Saturday. I always end up finding some fun stuff down there!

I haven't been there in years. Thinking about going. Is the Marketplace area open during the week?

I am Unsure I have only been on the weekends I would bet it is open but I have been wrong before I can’t imagine them setting up shop and not being there to sell stuff during the week

That's kind of what I was thinking too. Although it would suck to drive all the way there and there's nothing open during the week. I can't make it on weekends

Maybe someone with hands on experience can let you know.

Hoping this thread brings some attention to a great group of people (nmlra) to keep this thing alive down there! Our first time going was 2022 and everyone down there is very welcoming and helpful even to complete novices.

The sheep sheds will be open all week. Last year about half the vendors stayed away because of the new rules put out by the NMLRA. We will see what happens this year.

I sent an email to the woman who is in charge of vendors row to see if they are going to be there all week. I will report back what I hear from her

I am a member of the NMLRA. What rules are you talking about?

The sheds were open during the week last Spring with some blank spots.

New rental agreement. The campers have a new agreement to sign also. A lot of upset people. The lawyers wrote it NMLRA is covering their 6. The muzzleloader form has a lot of information on it. I know a few vendors they are not happy. A couple told me they may not be back.

I better look at the camping agreement……. make sure there is nothing I should be upset about…

What I read they don't want propane cylinders and if you have a camper turn off all electrical appliances when you are not in the trailer. I didn't read the whole thing because I don't camp there. They also don't want vendors sleeping in the sheep shed booths.

 

[Dog1]

Just out of curiosity I haven't been there in ages but was there a huge problem with these types of things these new rules are supposed to address or is this lawyers being lawyers?

sounds like lawyer lingo.

 

[Dog1]

That's kind of what I thought. Being married to one I heard that lingo LOL

 

[JHB]

Yup lawyers being lawyers. On the other hand there are people looking to sue for any reason. A 500+ acre payday is a good reason.

 

[Nazgul]

Saw that controversy, it is a somewhat old argument. It was all over the web and it got corrected. They rescinded the campers lingo because it was nonsense. The outcome was it pretty much went back to normal.

They are ready for this year with no significant changes to the program.

May have something to do with half the vendors not being at the fall shoot.

Dang guys take your negativity somewhere else
