It has been a pleasant day here at the NMLRA Education Center. Students working on their Kibler Colonial Rifle Kits are learning some of the finer techniques of longrifle decoration from Mike Brooks and Wayne Estes. While Kibler Southern Mountain Rifle students continue hardware clean up and stock sanding.
After a night of thunderstorms in Friendship, Indiana, students arrived ready to learn at the second Kibler Kit assembly class with Mike Brooks and Wayne Estes. Workstations are spread apart in the NMLRA Education Center, giving students enough room to spread out their tools through the week. Many of the 7 students have come with their rifles still in the box, but a couple have already assembled their kits, looking to focus on learning to carve traditional motifs into their longrifle stocks.
Date: April 17, 2021 9am-2pm
Location: NMLRA Education Center, Friendship, Indiana, 7436 S Co Rd 575 E, Versailles, IN, 47042
