I have recently joined this forum a few days ago and I must say that I have read alot of good info. This past winter I re-joined NMLRA( it's been 20 years, sad case I know, sorry), anyway I have a question for anyone that shoots there, Can the LYMAN GREAT PLAINS RIFLE be used there to shoot in the primitive matches? When I shot there the last time I used a flintlock,( which I still have),but this year I want to shoot my Lyman 54. I have removed the adjustable rear sight and installed a fixed sight but before I keep practicing with it I would like to know whether or not I will be able to use it. So I thought I would post the question here to see if anybody else uses theirs.
Also one other question I have I was reading some of the other topics on proper moccasins for the primitive shoots and Dyers name along with Arrow Moc came up as to be not PC. When I shot at Friendship I think just about everybody had on a pair of DYERS or ARROW MOCS on their feet and nobody complained. Have the rules changed to be more strickter about their footware? I hope not because I don't have my Dyer's anymore and I got a pair of moccassins from a place in Minnesota where they make them by hand. They are the knee high type and there is some machine sewing on them which I did not care for so I am goin to re-sow the machine stitching with sinew to give them a better original look. After checking out this forum I'm sure that I will get some good answers to my questions my thanks to all that respond. (It's finally going to warm up and quit snowing here in Indiana so know I can get out and shoot some, been going nuts, I got the MOUNTAIN MAN and JEREMIAH JOHNSON movies memorized, I'll shut up now good luck to all this year with your shooting!!)
 
There are only a couple matches on the primitive side for cap locks. It's geared far more toward flint.
Dyer mocs, and any other kind of moc is OK on the primitive side. They aren't real strict about dress up there.
