2020 Gunmakers Hall Raffle Drawing Postponed to October 2

NMLRA Staff and Gunmakers Hall Chairman Benjamin Quearry have decided to postpone the annual drawing until October 2nd. With the cancellation of the 2020 National Championships, we need a bit more time to plan the filming of the drawing so everyone can watch.

With this pushed back drawing date, we will be accepting tickets until October 2, 2020. If you’d like a few more chances to win, or haven’t sent in your tickets, please do so!

We can’t thank everyone enough for their support of the Gunmakers Hall Raffle this year. You’ve stepped up in a serious way to support the NMLRA despite the challenges of not being able to purchase tickets in person.

Here is the list of prizes for the 2020 Gunmaker's Hall giveaway.
