SCML at the NMLRA Western National Shoot

The Sonoran Desert, with its amazing Saguaro cactus, is a stunning location for the Ben Avery Shooting Range where the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association hosts the annual Western National shoot. The range is near Phoenix and has camping sites available. 

Morning on the desert on the way to Ben Avery Range. Camping is available at the range with or without hookups surrounded by various cacti. Coyotes howl at night, wild burros bray and an occasional road runner has been spotted.

NMLRA President Rebecca Waterman & SCML President Paul Nicca 

Paul at home with his winnings. There is more shooting available than can possibly be done in the time allotted. Formal pistol and rifle aggregates and primitive aggregates (costume required) keep a person busy. And then of course there is always an SCML potluck!

Ron Wisler shoots the 1 of 1000 Match for SCML

Ron & JoAnn Wisler, Alan Ross, Paul Nicca, Frank Dennis, Jack Sohriakoff, Kirk Matthew, Rusty McGhee (hope I didn't forget anyone) did a fine job of representing SCML when it came time to garner awards.
