Each year, thousands flock to our home range in Friendship, Indiana for learning, camaraderie, living history, and shooting sports. While the crafts and firearms we enjoy are several hundred years old, our facility is quite modern. With covered firing lines, well-kept trap & skeet ranges as well as full hookup camping, The Walter Cline Range is a home away from home for many of our members.
During our National Events in June and September you will find black powder shooting instruction and competitions including trap, skeet, quail walk, sporting clays, chunk gun, pistol, rifle, youth, knife and hawk, woodswalk, running boar, primitive bow, silhouette, and living history encampments. Many vendors set up in Commercial Row selling everything from hand made jewelry to muzzleloading accessories to period crafts. Also, check out the NMLRA Museum while on the grounds! Gunmakers Hall has an impressive display of muzzleloaders that is worth checking out! Affordable camping available. There is something for everyone!

9-20-2025 Saturday, 10am – (Cancelled) Traditional Archery Match – by Jim Feeney
The shooting range is closed during this event to all firearms.
Jim Feeney asked me to remind everyone that this Saturday, Sept 20, 2025, is our clubs Archery Match. We will be using the range and setting up targets at various distances. The range will be closed to all firearm shooting during the event. Shooting will start at about 11am and could be over by 2 or 3pm depending on the participation.
If you are bow hunting this year, bring your compound, traditional, recurve, or crossbow out and try the range out. Good opportunity to sight your bow in.
If you don’t have a bow, Jim will have some that you can try out. We had a nice time last month and we would like to grow the group of participants and eventually bring in competition. For now, it is just shooting fun with no scores.
