Kalamazoo Living History Show 2020 CANCELLED

From the Kalamazoo Living History Show Website

IMPORTANT SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT

All, On the evening of March 11 the State of Michigan issued community mitigation strategies recommended for the control of the spread of coronavirus. Among those recommendations was that all events, conventions, and meetings over 100 people should be cancelled due to the coronavirus. Here is the official statement about events from the state's website https://www.michigan.gov/Coronavirus

"Cancel or postpone large gatherings, conferences and sporting events (e.g. events with over 100 people)."

In order to comply with these recommendations by the State of Michigan, we are cancelling the show this year. While we wish this wasn’t necessary, the show must comply in order to meet state expectations and to insure our vendors and visitors are safe. We will be in touch with our vendors shortly. We want to thank everyone for their support of the show during the fluidity of this situation

The NMLRA will be working with Kalamazoo Living History Show Staff to promote their exhibitors, vendors, and craftspeople to our online audience. We ask that you consider shopping from these vendors online to help support them during this rough time.

Thank you.

The New Williams Western Precision Muzzleloading Sight

The Williams Western Precision Muzzleloading Sight is the ultimate sight setup for western hunters in states that do not allow scopes on muzzleloaders. The Precision Muzzleloading Sight set includes a Williams WGRS rear peep sight, with a new front globe sight. While globe sights are nothing new to muzzleloading, this sight is a new model that attaches directly to the barrel of modern inline muzzleloaders, without using any dovetail mounts or additional bases. The Williams Globe Front Sight attaches with one screw, directly to the barrel.

With California, Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, Nevada, and Washington all requiring muzzleloading hunters to use open sights, this new sight set is the perfect solution for those hunters looking to stretch their range. There are several different reticles included in this pack, with the one that we like the most being a crosshair with an additional sub-tension line below, which gives you a reference point for additional yardages. There are also reticles included for a standard crosshair and several other popular globe sight reticles, but the new BDC-style reticle is the one we anticipate most hunters using.

The bullet drop compensating reticle was designed with a 250-grain bullet and 110 grains of Blackhorn 209 powder. This load has been a standard load for us in the CVA Accura muzzleloaders, as well as the Traditions Vortek and Thompson Center Triumph muzzleloaders. With this load and the Western Precision Sight set, we recommend zeroing at 100 yards with the main crosshair. This should put the next sub-tension dead-on at 175 yards, and the thick part of the crosshair at 200 yards. Because this may vary from gun to gun, we recommend testing these hold points for your muzzleloader, altitude, and load. We also believe there will be an advantage in sighting in at 50 yards with the main crosshair in certain applications.
