Photo Contest nothing to report.

Old Business:

Scott reminded everyone there would be another State meeting at the BHBML shoot July 28 at noon.

Discussed the State applying for a 50lC three for the tax write off for the property the Wind River Muzzleloaders shoot on. John Boesch sitting in on the meeting gave a report of what his experience filing for those consisted of. He said it is real hard to be eligible unless you are a charitable or education organization. Bryon Wilzceski said he thought we could approach it by setting up a foundation for education and charitable things such as scholarships etc. And we have been doing some of those things already such as the Game and Fish Expo and the State 4-H group. It was the consensus of the board to have Bryon talk to a lawyer about setting up a foundation and see what it would entail.

Scott had a Thank You from the State 4-H.

Dennis had some committee information on the State Shoot guidelines. They want to change the 50-yd large bull to a 50yd single buffalo target for all the main aggregates. They would like to spell out all the rules rather than use numbers of the NMLRA handbook rules. It was ask if they had put in the requirement of posting the scores at a State Shoot. They didn’t but would. The committee will have the draft of the State Shoot guidelines ready by convention for approval.

New Business:

Mary ask for ideas for the convention workshops and to let her know.

Scott wondered if we should be looking for ways to trim the budget as we are losing money on the convention. Bryon said it was about 150.00-dollar loss this year. The board decided for now to make no changes.

Dennis made a motion to adjourn and Mike Czarnecki seconded.
