fly Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I just found out today that in addition to the B&C and BTR, there is yet another scoring system strictly for smokepoles. The Longhunter program by The National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association. Min score is 130 for typical whitetail. Anyone ever entered a deer in this program? I took my 7 year old daughter out shooting yesterday for the first time. Started with just a cap, then 40 grains, then up to 70 grains which is what she'll use this fall on deer. I was impressed with her shooting ability at 7. Doubt she'll get a 170 B&C, but a 130 isn't out of the question. I think she'd be tickled to get a certificate if they have those.

PA_Spike_King Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Fly, I have been shooting muzzys since 1982 and didn't even know about that scoring system, I guess I should have paid more attention to the NMLRA. I will have to check up with that. And tell your daughter good luck from all of us. I to have a 8 year old daughter that i'm going to get into shooting this summer.

Hoosierbuck Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Once upon a time I stumbled on this little old buck and happened to be holding a Knight Wolverine. Long story short, he is supposed to be in that book. One guy that scores deer around here does it for the Hoosier Record Book, Long Hunter, B&C and P&Y. I would like to complete the cycle and put in the B&C book. Wouldn't we all? If anybody has a copy of one of the NMRLA Record books, I would really like to have a copy of the page with my little feller on it.
