NMLRA Field Agent Joe-D Baxter has been featured in this month's issue of the American Shooting Journal for their contributions to the Contemporary Longrifle Association 2020 Auction!
NMLRA Member and craftsman Peter Wygant is a top contributor to the NMLRA facebook group. Peter often shares photos of his builds like this shooting box (Right) that he donates for NMLRA fundraising efforts.
We’re happy to see posts like this one though, where Peter gets some muzzleloaders out to have some fun shooting blackpowder.
“Going to try to shoot this little beauty tomorrow.....14 gauge David Lloyd of Broad Street, London....Has London proofs and LL marked on the bottom of the barrels...Was hoping for CL, don’t know who LL is. Very light weight, can only handle 3/4 oz of shot and 2 drams of powder in her.....13/16 is the best round of skeet so far with it.....”
“Well I hit 12 out of 16, not a stellar performance but I’ll have to take it. All cleaned and put away....”
There is scarcely a more fitting way of celebrating Flag Day, June 14th, the anniversary of the adoption of the "rebellious stripes" by the Continental Congress, in this bicentennial year than by creating copies of those Revolutionary banners that were carried by the Heroes of '76, flying them at the head of your parading NMLRA re-created Militia or Continental army unit.
This message comes by way of Mike Yazel, who shared this sad news in our facebook group.
“I would ask that the thoughts and prayers of the NMLRA family be with the Curtis Family as they mourn the loss of Tip who has passed away. He has long been a prominent figure in the Muzzle Loading community and a good friend to myself and countless others. I will greatly miss his comment and advice on a myriad of topics we discussed over the years.”
