Falling Leaves Shooting Festival 2020
On September 18th, the Walter Cline Range’s Primitive range came to life once again this year with the “Falling Leaves Shooting Festival”. Organized by Tim Hamblen, this traditional muzzleloading shoot brought nearly a hundred shooters and campers into the valley for a weekend of fun and friendship.
Black Powder Shoot Out at Pioneer Flats
NMLRA Vendor Abe’s General Store is hosting a FUN and FREE family event for muzzleloading enthusiasts of all levels. The event will have muzzleloading supplies for sale, as well as a series of targets from 15 to 50 yards for anyone to try out a muzzleloader!
Update to the NMLRA Turkey Shoot
The Annual NMLRA Turkey shoot will be held October 10 and 11, 2020 at the Walter Cline Range in Friendship, Indiana.
This year, the only change will be that the Pistol Line will not be open. Please take this into consideration as you plan for this small shoot.

A Weekend with the Longhunters of Western Indiana | Muzzle Blasts on the Road
We were invited out for a small camp and shoot this weekend by Eli Froedge and Jason Jacobs. It was a great weekend of black powder and fellowship.
The following is shared from camp organizer Jason Jacobs,
‘A little preview of our camp/shoot, last weekend. We had 17 camps and 22 shooters. We had shooters from five states. Great time had by all. Lots of shooting; 20 shot rifle course, 20 shot smooth bore course, 10 shot pistol course, 14 block hawk and knife course, long range rifle match, clay bird shoot, candle shoot and a clatch match. Winner on the clatch match was 53, IIRC. Long range match started at 80 yards and ended at 140 yards on a 12 inch steel plate. Two tables full of awesome food and a 29 pound ham on the spit.‘
