2020 Gunmakers Hall Raffle Results
We’d like to thank each and every artisan, craftsperson, and Gunmakers Hall member for working so hard to put together such a fine display of items to be drawn in support of the NMLRA in such a trying year. With the canceled National and National Championship Muzzleloading shoots, the NMLRA has taken a hard financial hit, but every member who purchased tickets for this drawing stepped up and has helped us raise a record amount of funds!
We’ve put together a short video from the porch of Gunmakers Hall, so you can join us virtually for the drawing this year. Congratulations to all of the winners, we will be contacting you shortly by phone or email!
