Formal announcements and invitations have been released for the 29th MLAIC World Championships in Pforzheim Germany. After a multi year hiatus due to European COVID19 restrictions, it’s great to see the Muzzle Loaders Associations International Confederation back for the “Olympics of Muzzle Loading”.

Enclosed please find the official invitation from the German Shooting and Archery Federation (DSB) as well as a preliminary time schedule for this year’s world championship in Pforzheim.

There is another additional information concerning the caps and the lead shot.
“Due to an unforeseen shortage of caps and shot, we would like to ask the European shooters, who will travel by car and/or by bus, to bring their caps and their lead shot along with them. There is no problem in Germany with the caps as they are free. Powder cannot be taken as there are strict rules/laws in Germany. However, there will be sufficient powder available.”

In the provisional time schedule, it is mentioned (in brackets) that the closing ceremony is still to be confirmed. The reason for that is that the originally planned Congress Centre will not be available. The responsible people of the DSB are still looking for a room which will be big enough for a closing ceremony (possibly even under Covid hygiene conditions!?!?).
We shall keep you informed.

Below, you’ll find an embeded copy of the formal invitation as well as the schedule of events.

Fans of muzzleloading competition will recognize these events as the largest in the world, representing the best of muzzleloading marksmanship from around the globe. While interest and participation may have fluctuated over the years, these competitions serve as an important and prestigious tier in the muzzleloading community.

I Love Muzzleloading will be reporting more on the MLAIC 29th World Championships as news breaks.
