After a night of thunderstorms in Friendship, Indiana, students arrived ready to learn at the second Kibler Kit assembly class with Mike Brooks and Wayne Estes. Workstations are spread apart in the NMLRA Education Center, giving students enough room to spread out their tools through the week. Many of the 7 students have come with their rifles still in the box, but a couple have already assembled their kits, looking to focus on learning to carve traditional motifs into their longrifle stocks.

Editor's Message Muzzle Blasts November 2020

,

November is the last full month of autumn, so let’s get all of our outdoor shooting, trekking, camping and hunting in, before the brown landscape grows “snow deep” into whiteness and the ice glazes the frozen roads. November is also one of the busiest months in the calendar. The shorter length of sunlight is really noticeable and our circadian rhythms are thrown into a tail spin on November 1st as we all “fall back” into the old “standard time” of sunrise and sunset.
