  • Before the advent of centerfire cartridges, single shot muzzleloading firearms were the most advanced weapons in the battlefield. They were used for hundreds of years and decided the fate of nations. Now they are relegated to a hobby and "curio" category. In today's video we attempt to inject more flexibility and dynamics into shooting flintlocks by exploring alternate and classic rifle shooting positions.

      It was more civilized when someone could be challenged to a duel for disrespect.

    Looks like you are shooting a British short land pattern Musket, ( Brown Bess) . And you must be over 6 ft. tall considering the short land pattern musket was 58 ins. in length. You appear to tower above the barrel.

    I found your channel from the recommendation from “I love muzzle loading”, I’ve been into this sport for many years, but what I did not know was my wife and I went to high school with your mom at Garland High School, it’s a small world.

    I would like to see a follow up video on loading from those positions.
    I see as the next progression along the lines of that type of training.
    Did you say you’re in the DFW area?

      @FlintlockOperator  10 місяців тому +1

      I like using shots of shooting on the run because it's more dynamic and is different from how I've seen most people shoot.

      It's a 2nd model brown bess from Veteran Arms. I highly recommend them. The powder horn I've had since i was a kid and have done some repairs and modifications to it.

    I guess with a single shot weapon having your elbow up does not matter. With a semiautomatic its important to have your elbow down to help control recoil.

    • @Real11BangBang
      @Real11BangBang Рік тому +7

      when you're shooting a flintlock having an elbow up is almost a must. The reason being is you don't hold it like you hold an AR-15 or an AK. It is designed to be fired from the actual shoulder. Not the chest.
