    Good time to join the NMLRA!

    NMLRA benefits are for those who choose to utilize them, such as the two individuals from Germany that visited in June. A big concept that everyone should understand is that the NMLRA is NOT a club, it is a National Nonprofit Corporation made up of individuals with a common interest. These...

    Good time to join the NMLRA!

    So on to actual Benefits of joining the NMLRA. The Muzzle Blasts magazine, though some have questioned its usefulness here, it is a printed source of information when everything else is digital only. National Competitions, started in 1933 as a competition between like minded enthusiasts, the...

    Good time to join the NMLRA!

    Eric thanks for standing up for the NMLRA . Ok I am reading through this thread, and I promise I will get caught up to the end but first let me correct a couple things before I get there. The NMLRA does not lobby, it is NOT a financial limitation, it is an organizational one. The NMLRA is a...

    Jim & Barbie Chambers Where Are You?

    This robbing Peter to pay Paul analogy is incorrect. The endowment funds are "paying" the bills then they are reimbursed from the grant. In the end the interest money spent used is returned to the endowment. The endowment will have 100% of the interest funds it started with before this project...

    The 1 of 1000 was intended to generate a 1 million dollar fund, of which the interest would be available to fund other projects. Currently a portion of the interest is being used to pay the invoices from the Pittman Robertson Grant. Once the project concludes, the 1 of 1000 account will be...

    To be as transparent as possible, we are looking at multiple solutions. We are looking at a variance to the flood map, alternate construction methods, alternate locations, and political remedies. All of these things take time and money, and share the demands on the associations time and finances...

    No commendation necessary, I feel that it is part of why I was hired. The executive committee felt it necessary to help with communications to put forth a name and face that has the ability to surpass the election cycle, and hopes that it can be me.

    Steve, You are correct. Most of what we are discussing is property in the floodway. I only used the term as to not confuse some with false hope that there is a difference in our case.

    The DNR rules do not allow us to add backfill in the floodplain. Not sure how the Curtis building got past that one. Maybe it was done in the middle of the night. :).

    Nope, Its supposed to be water tight. It has two $17,000 flood doors.

    While a dozer would seem to be the easy solution, it is very complicated. All of commercial row is in a flood plain. If it is demolished, reconstruction would fall under the DNR rules for a new building in a flood plain. This would require the replacement structures to be one of two types, flow...

    Mac, no problem from me. I look at your post as an opportunity to hear issues such as this to listen to members and address concerns.

    Jim & Barbie Chambers Where Are You?

    I would not typically comment like this as I feel my actions for the association far outweigh words. As Backdraft stated it didn't take long as I already had a diverse background in other unmentionables. I am not only the proud owner of a "new to me" Navy Arms, 1858 Remington, I am in search of...

    Jim & Barbie Chambers Where Are You?

    You have the right to question these decisions. I don't consider it being negative since as you said, you have experienced it before. I can only state to you and other members that my intention is to help the association wherever I can, to open and improve communications, and to reach out in...

    The Pittman Robertson money is managed through the DNR, and we already have a lead program in place.

    Yes I am the new Manager of Operations. I cannot speak to what happened before or how others performed in their roles, only that I see differences in what is happening now versus what has happened before. You are right I have limited experience with muzzleloaders, however my experience in...

    Jim & Barbie Chambers Where Are You?

    Reading through the comments there are many correct statements, some not as much. I will attempt to address some, so this response may seem a bit disconnected. The association has made some decisions that turned out to be less helpful to the organization than intended. Putting it nicely. The...

    A Quick GOEX Update

    I can attest that suppliers are making orders to all powder manufacturers Yes in the wild we are seeing powder up to $40/lb. Powder sold by the NMLRA to members is $30/lb for Swiss, and $22/lb for Schuetzen, and no hazmat fee since we sell in person. We have both in stock and more on order for...

    Coating inside the barrel

    Loyalist Dave, Thank you for a well thought out articulate response. That was what I needed. I have already forwarded the response to Texas in hopes that not only that it is helpful but may also spark an interest for them to join the forum.
