2nd Annual NMLRA Artisan’s Competition & Exhibition

The 2nd Annual Artisan’s Competition & Exhibition, will be held in the NMLRA’s Education Building, September 12 and 13, 2015, at the Fall National Championship Shoot.

If there is one thing black powder muzzleloaders have it’s “stuff,” lots of “stuff!” And the beauty of it is that so much of this “stuff” is hand crafted. These items are a testimony to the passion, skill, and creativity of the maker. The NMLRA is planning a new opportunity for our membership. Have you ever made a powder horn or flask, a possibles bag, a knife, tomahawk, done quill work, made a bowl from wood or clay, or any one of a number of period items that are part of the black powder and muzzleloading experience? Have you taken one of the many hands-on classes offered during the June or September National Shoots and wished you had an opportunity to display your work? If your answer is “yes” to the above, then this  event is something you should add to your things to do list.
