Well the Arizona NMLRA (National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association) is currently holding their annual festival at the range a few miles from me-Ben Avery.

I was hoping to get a bunch of pictures and post them. Unfortunately this week the allmighty decided to bless us with rain! Normally when it rains here it is practically cause for celebration. But I can tell you I heard a lot of grumbling from the vendors

I did get two post-worthy pictures. There was a trailer where gun makers displayed their work. Keep in mind this place is sidelock heaven:

I also came across this beauty, a double barrel fowler in what looked like a 16 guage:

The NMLRA will be there until Saturday. Hopefully by then the rain will have stopped. So I will try and get some more pictures.
