The NMLRA

Everything you need for your first trip to the range with your Hawken

Now that our Traditions Hawken is built, and we have a shooting pouch to carry our tools and a powder horn to carry our powder, it's time to head to the range for some fun. This is the muzzle loading cross over event of the year as we bring all of our winter projects together for some fun at the range.

Watch the video today to see what NMLRA Field Agent Ethan carries in his Hawken Pouch to guarantee a fun day at the range.

We've got the full list written out here to help you find the supplies seen in the video.
