Primitive Range Falling Leaves Shooting Festival Sept 18, 19 & 20 , 2020
In keeping with State mandates and due to the fact we could not get together for the Fall Shoot we are having a weekend event for our members up the Valley. Camps can be set up Thursday and we shoot Friday , Saturday, and Sunday until 1 pm.
Starting 9 am Friday we will have various paper matches behind the Blockhouse for Men, Women and Juniors. Approx .8 Men’s 4 Ladies and 4 Junior (Ladies and Juniors, of course, can shoot the Men’s also) and the King's Mountain and Silhouettes. All will be reentry, shoot them as much as you want. Also at this time, we will have a "Longrifle Stroll" up the Valley shooting at various steel targets and novelty targets. Approx 25 shots total. This one will be for everyone with no age or gender classes. Sub Juniors will be allowed a rest to shoot from. A novelty team event too. Watch for news on that later
On Sunday starting at 9am until 1pm all reentry and the "Stroll " will be open.We'll close at 1pm and award prizes.
Prizes will be powder for 1st and medals for 2nd and 3rd
Costs for the weekend
$10 registration Individual

This includes primitive camping. Modern camping information can be found at NMLRA.org/camping
Reentries will be $2 each and $3 for the stroll (Men and Women, any Juniors wanting to shoot the "Stroll" can do so at no cost )
Primitive clothing while appreciated will not be a requirement. We would though like to keep tentage "period correct" from the East/West drive at the pavilion up to the blockhouse. Modern tents can be pitched from the drive North in Primitive Camp. Those with permanent campers on the grounds may of course use those. Just check with the Office for rates.
Traders are also welcome, just pay the $10 registration ($15 family)
Please note: this is one extra day from the event put on in July. Distancing will be done in a safe manner.
There will be plenty of room to keep a safe distance. This will be the perfect time for new folks and those anxious about shooting at Friendship to come out. This is a FUN event, come out bring a friend, and expose them to that which we all love. It's been a rough year for all of us including the NMLRA so let's get together, fire some shots before we say goodbye for the Winter.
