Friends, our 2nd Amendment rights are always under attack and the NRA has been a constant for decades in helping fight that fight.
We have partnered with the NRA to offer you a discount on membership and Muzzleloading Forum gets a small percentage too of each membership, so you are supporting both the NRA and us.

I made a few calls and got the "skinny" on the situation. A lot of rumors are going around right and I don't want to spread them. But it's safe to say that the NMLRA is in a state of chaos right now. It's ugly and is going to get messy before it's over.

Up until the TMA was formed, they were the only game in town, now there is competition...
It hit the fan for sure... (no picture needed)

I don't feel we, the TMA, are in competition with the NMLRA. We just live up to our mission statement and what our organization is about.
We do not mix and promote modern muzzleloading technology with traditional muzzleloading technology, as they do. Maybe this is why the shake up has occured? I don't know?
We also listen to our members points of view and we talk with our members. We don't present an attitude that we're above answering to our membership, and those are some of the reasons the TMA is a success. :imo:

I haven't a clue what this is about as I started in 1975, belonged to NMLRA till about 1988 when my career took over my life for a while. Then I started shooting and building again in 2003 and re-upped with NMLRA. About every other Muzzle Blasts has something of interest to me, but I respect the NMLRA for getting this sport off the ground. The founders of black powder shooting and hunting were all NMLRA cornerstones.
Folks may or may not like the way the NMLRA is going, but I think we should give credit where credit is due, and in general support folks who have built the sport and protected our rights. It does nobody any good to celebrate problems in another branch of our sport. I for one hope that whatever changes occur are good for growing the sport.

Gentlemen - I don't know anything about the NMLRA, except that it does differ from the TMA, with the emphasis in the TMA being exclusively traditional firearms. I like that about the TMA, even though there may be merit in the NMLRA as an organization. I don't think anybody is taking glee in the travails of any other organization.

All true statements for sure...but with all due respect, (and I'm a member of the TMA) I doubt seriously the NMLRA has even heard of the TMA much less been influenced by it...
I wish I knew the answer, but I don't??? I have been a member of the NMLRA for over 25 years and I have yet to get an adequate answer to any question I have ever asked them about traditional muzzleloading, so I doubt we will ever know the complete story.
I hope they ride this out, because they are needed! I may be a Co-Founder of the TMA but I will support the NMLRA,,, as long as they want my support. I just don't support all their beliefs and programs that are not traditional. That is my privilege as a NMLRA member.
The board let him go this past Saturday for a lot of different reasons and not one thing. Membership is way down and there's very little they can do about it. Other cutbacks will be made and other will leave.
It's truely sad because they're a great organization. But they've been running it like a club and not a company. Plus, they hurt a lot of feeling a few years ago and the wounds haven't heal.
Hopefully this will cause them to tighten their belts and get them back on the right track. NMRLRA has been the backbone on muzzleloading shooting for a long time and I have no reason to think they won't be in the future.

First, I doubt that the TMA had any effect on the NMLRA
Second, I would not be celebrating the stumbling of our flagship ML organization. While I am a member of the TMA, they are fledgling at best. They are barely taxiing out of the hangar and totally unable to do much for us at this point. There is no tradition, no infrastructure and no credibility there yet. Anyone who is a member of the TMA and not of the NMLRA has not thought this through. We must avidly support both. Then we must stay with the NMLRA and voice the traditional gun issues from within.
We need them to be strong until we become strong in our own right. Even then,they must always be honored as brothers.
I am a life NRA member, an annual NMLRA member and a TMA member. I strongly support all three and will speak well of all. I need them all to speak for me with as strong a voice as possible.

I agree with CrackStock,the NMLRA has been flawed and the "club" analogy is a good one.I am a member though and will likely renew again.I also belong to the TMA and other national and state organizations as well.We need to support the shooting sports in a lot of ways and the larger organizations are the "big dogs" on the block.
