NMLRA Board Member Buddy Townsend runs for NRA Board of Directors

  Okay NMLRA members here is your chance to show support for one of your own! While Buddy has served the NMLRA well for several years on our own Board of Directors here is a chance to support him as he makes a run for the NRA  Board.  He needs 65,000 votes so get out there and show your support by helping him with this endeavor. Our organizations already share many common interests while serving separate and distinct segments of the shooting community involvement of this type can only further the interests of all shooters in the future. Get out and vote!
