Just received my NMLRA membership renewal and am a little conflicted this time. I've had some issues with the talk about inlines being permitted. I know the thought of getting more members and all that, but just can't get away from the traditional aspects of shooting traditional muzzleloaders. The author of the hunting articles stated he didn't care about traditional muzzleloaders that he only wanted to be able to hunt more. Really put a burr under my saddle. And the last issue showed modern cartridge rifles in the article. ACK!!
I know it's only $40, but I'm just afraid they are getting away from what's important. I wrote a letter to the editor a while back expressing my views and that if they were going to allow inlines they should change their mission statement. Part of my letter was deleted too.
I might give it one more year, still thinking about it. Back in the 1990s I cancelled my membership after over 20 years for the same reason but then it seemed like they backed off, rejoined a few years back but seems like they are heading back in that direction.
Don't really know why I'm putting this out here, just kind of wondering if anyone else has a thought or comment, pro or con. Like I said, I know the reason is to build the membership, I understand that, but just seems like we're giving up something special to build the membership. Oh well.
