very good philosophy
Just an update on the muzzle loading club. It may not take hold. Less people showed up last meeting...
It may not take hold. Less people showed up last meeting.
Percussion side-locks should definitely be on the menu. Many traditional types don't like the inlines; too much like a modern ctg. gun. Each has to decide for themselves; there's been ongoing discussion of this question in the NMLRA world, too. Good luck.Sorry. I haven't read the entire thread.
Are you pushing for "Period Correct"/"Historically Accurate"?
That will alienate many.
To say nothing of increasing costs. An affordable used TC Hawken/Renegade or Lyman GPR, or a new/used CVA "Kentucky" rifle, for example are not PC/HA.
Do you accecpt modern inline rifles or insist on only traditional side locks?
Do/will you accecpt percussion sidelocks at your shoots?
(Not everyone (including me) can afford a flintlock)
What days and times are your meetings? Are they convenient for those that work 2nd or 3rd shift during the week?
Admittedly holding meetings/shoots only on the weekends will most likely "irritate" the cartridge shooters who cannot shoot on weekdays.
I won't can't argue with that.Many traditional types don't like the inlines; too much like a modern ctg.
Ask the NMLRA if they could send a letter announcing your club or whatever it turns out to be. You provide the letter with all the details, and they could send it to members within certain ZIP codes. I wish you success!I got a permission to start a muzzleloader club at one of my local sportsman. Not overly sure where to start. We have a shooting range we will use and there is enough room to set up a woods walk. We have a very nice club house that can hold a few hundred people. Any suggestions on how to how to proceed? I already run a disabled Vet fishing rodeo there so I do have some experience with running events but I am thinking a club and a event will be two different things. Any advice would be great. I did send a email to my NMLRA rep to see if he can give me advice. Waiting for a reply.
