THE ASSOCIATION

New York State Muzzleloaders Association was organized in 1977.  The Association was formed to provide a statewide banner, under which all individuals and groups concerned with the promotion, protection and improved communication relating to all sports, and variations involving the use of muzzle-loading firearms may be unified.  The Association's purpose is to accurately represent the wishes of said sportsmen/sportswomen to our elected officials, and any state or national organization this group may choose to affiliate with.

Any person interested in the collection and/or use of muzzle-loading firearms may become a member of this organization by payment of the stipulated annual dues.  Any muzzle-loading club wishing to support the unity of voice this organization represents may become a New York State Muzzleloaders Association Affiliate Club by payment of the stipulated annual affiliation fee. The stipulated fee for individuals and affiliated clubs are listed below. 

Individual (18 years or older)  $25.00
Affiliated Club Member           $20.00
Family (Parents) & Children under 18)  $30.00
Life Membership                     $300.00
Club Affiliation                         $35.00

Both Members and Affiliated Clubs are kept informed of the progress, activities, and endeavors of this Association by means of a quarterly newsletter, which is known as the "Group Tight'ner."  This is the official publication of the New York State Muzzleloaders Association. 

We welcome you to join our Association!
