[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 2561696, member: 33046"] Just to catch up............. I've been in contact with Clare, who seems like a really great person. It appears that they are very willing to host a SML match at the MTC. There's a lot of work ahead but, I'm going to make an attempt to get a match going for 2023. I've put the word out on a couple sites and there is a lot of interest in a LONG RANGE match. I think there's 10 who have committed to attend (baring any other issues). If say 20 shooters would show, it would be outstanding! I hope it would also benefit the MTC too. I know its not easy setting something like this up and that there will be some who will complain about the rules. Most SML shooters are bench shooters. Having to shoot prone will deter some but, that would be their loss. There are no NRA or NMLRA rules set for the use of smokeless muzzleloaders, yet. If it gets organized, I would suggest it will be very similar to current black powder rules, if not identical. I know some guys have rifles that have very wide forearms and don't use a bipod. That issue could be totally eliminated by allowing a front rest. Not a full length rest. Front rest, bipod and rear bag only. We'll see if I can work this out. No promises. I think they have my left lower lung reinflated now and I have a knee replacement on July 28th. I want to drive down on a weekend and hopefully talk to Clare and some others. I'll need help........... [/QUOTE]
