    Hunters Who Are NMLRA Members

    Some clubs and organizations/participants are not very friendly to newcomers (especially if they can shoot). I have seen groups yell at kids who were there with parents and not competing be told to get off their phones in aggressive tones. This is not the way to attract new people to this dying...

    Straight vs swamp?

    Depends on what your planning to do with it. If off hand target shooting I prefer a straight barrel as its muzzle heavy and hangs better for me. Some will say a swamped barrel is easier for them to shoot off-hand though too. If hunting, I prefer swamped as it balances and carries better for...

    Smoothbore Matches

    Most smoothbore woods walks i've shot in targets are from 10-50 yards. round ball only. Some are mixed where u shot round ball (at steel targets)and shot (usually at clay pigeons). Others is simple paper targets usually large ones on a static range from 10-50 yards. Nothing has ever been over 50...

    Smoothbore Matches

    I know some of ya could care less about competitive shooting but it's one of my things I love. The smoothbore matches have pretty much become non-existent at events I attend. There used to be a separate class for it altogether. Now, it's you compete against rifles which is fine to I suppose but...

    Carrying a pistol

    I ALWAYS carry a pistol on me in woods - well everywhere. Reason I say this as I had permission to hunt my buddies 174 acres. It was just a wooden lot no dwellings he doesn't live on or even close to it. Anyways I was scouting the property with just the bow in my hand and walked up on a "plant"...

    Whom Used a Frizzen Stall?

    I have one on all my hunting rifles. It does help keep the condensation off the frizzen as well and it is another "safety" in the woods for me. If I got deer coming towards me I can **** the hammer to full **** with out fear of spooking deer by doing it when they get closer. I keep the stall in...

    smooth bore turkey barrel

    Give this a try too and see if it helps. It improved my pattern a bunch with cylinder bore using skychief method. I run 1 oz of #4 shot mixed together with .5oz #6 shot for turkey load. It filled in the gaps on my pattern I was getting.

    New to smoothbore and what I like for a RB loading charge

    My NWT likes 75 grains 2f a .600 round ball with .015 lubed patch. It does ok with bare ball and a nitro card on top but the grouping is better with prb.

    Looking into getting my first flintlock rifle

    I own both 40 and 45 both have there places. For u I'd go 40 caliber as its still enough for a well placed deer kill and well enough for small game. Good thing about the 40 caliber if u get in to match shooting there often a squirrel or small caliber event. 40 caliber is usually the largest u...
