You didn’t issue a trophy because everyone couldn’t be there. True friends.
Two years running and although we did last year, it just didn't seem right.
Yes, that time of year again. Always enjoy these.
Cheers!
Very entertaining thanks Rob.
Thanks!
Excellent, all of it. The wonky pipes, the bayonet charge and the wilting whirling dervish.
It was a fun time!
Looks like a hell of a lot of fun. Nice to see the real Canadian flag flying.
It was, as usual!
Always great to see these videos, and it's great to see the range slowly evolving. The themed shoots are something I always enjoy watching.
And we enjoy setting them up (and shooting them).!
Certainly was a blast! Every year anticipate the video 'summary' of the shoot, and they never disappoint!
Glad to hear!
Always a pleasure to watch your productions. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, Chuck!
There are few events that can't be improved by the addition of the pipes! Cheers!
Indeed!
Always a treat to watch your video of the Albert Show each year.
Cheers!
Looks like the British Empire is still in Good Hands. Very enjoyable Video THANK YOU
All in good fun!
Thank you BML. I enjoy the work of all!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Small gatherings of fellow enthusiasts have an appeal and casual friendliness that large events sometimes lack.
It looks like it was a lot of fun despite the heat.👍
We all made it through!
Got to say it was nice to see live bagpipes, and I want to give my appreciation towards the piper. From a. Piper to another, great playing
It was an unexpected addition!
Bravo Rob and participants, especially Richard and family.
As with your visit, it was a grand time!
What a delightful video. I am jealous not to have been there. So nice to see people enjoying themselves with folks of the same interest. All the very best wishes to you all from England.
Indeed! It was a great time!
great video
all the best Britishmuzzleloaders
Thank you!
Well done, a seasonal event enjoyed immensely.
Cheers!
This is pretty cool actually. Seeing this stuff shoot is always enjoyable.
Indeed!
Ah finally, the best time of the year when britishmuzzeloaders post's the Alberta shoot!
Haha! Thanks!
This looks like an amazing time--I have watched all the Alberta videos, and they always look great. I had no idea you had so many carbines! I wonder that you don't shoot some of the volley, independent, and skirmish practices from one of the Musketry Instructions.
If you watch the video from last year, we did shoot some practices that were at least inspired by the actual ones... Scaled targets and the like...
this looks like such fun
This is so cool, we need more of this in the world
Indeed!
It was a very great video where a lot of beautiful guns have been used.
Cheers!
Looks like you all had a lot of fun!
We did!
Fun stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello Rob, it's hard to overstate how much your channel has influenced my life ever since I found you shooting your Snider and decided to get one of my own. Out of appreciation I have a bit of fan mail I would like to send your way of the ' Very Hard To Find Antique' variety. If you're interested let me know and I can email you more information then.
Thank you
That is very kind of you to say. Glad to hear that you are enjoying your Snider! The Channel email is in the "about" tab on the Channel homepage, if you are so inclined.
Lovely stuff. Some special 'firsts' there!
Yes sir!
Looks like a good time was had!
Yes indeed!
👍 Danke fürs Hochladen!
👍 Thanks for uploading!
👍 Very good and beautiful, thank you!
👍 Sehr gut und schön, danke!
Thanks!
This is what I like to see. Friends being friends, enjoying cool old guns
Indeed!
Hazzar hazzar hazzar excellent video love the smell of gunpowder in the morning ah! Bisto
Yup target rich environment it certainly is
Miss shooting flint locks the old brown Bess at my reenactment that I attend the global happening is a bugger
All the best from Scotland
Keep up the excellent content 😁😁😁
Cheers!
Lovely to see COVID hasn't completely stopped your good fun times. Thank you for sharing!
Yup.
Looks like a good time by all!
It was!
Looks like huge fun! 40 degrees, less so...
I'd love to try some old black powder stuff.
It was!
Another Job well done Rob. In 2011 Colin Hamlinton of the Durban, kwaZulu Natal, South Africa Black Powder Club from where the Provincial Match originated attended this Victorian Rifleman Gathering, then held in the swamp.
Missed you Douglas!
This is amazing, wishing some day I might join in the jubilee of beautiful arms!
It would be somewhat nice to have a bigger attendance but it simply can not be...
Do you have a maximum number of people that can attend? Is it limited by accomodation, regulations or tradition? I love these videos every year, even though I'm always disappointed there are no Webleys
@@lptomtom Glad you enjoy them! Thank you. Ultimately, it is only open to invitees of the landowner... sorry... As for Webleys, handgun use is fraught with difficulties in Canada.
Love watching the Alberta shoots, looks like a great time! It’s a 2500 mile trip one way but thinking the toughest part would be crossing the boarder with enough fire power to hold off hundreds of Zulu’s….but Kentucky is next. Hope we see you in Easton again soon !!!
They are such a great time. Then again, so is Easton!
@@britishmuzzleloaders at least a week off, a passport along with a knowledge of boarder crossing with black powder rifles into Canada….2024 is a goal 🇨🇦
Hey Rob - long time no see! As usual, the regiment put on a magnificent show! How do you stay so clean? When I go Goex… I end up looking like a chimney sweep…😆👍
Dirty mostly when using the Enfield and anything with a patch like the Baker or, in this case, the Brunswick.
Always enjoy these shoots cheers.ps time for a dram me thinks.
Cheers!
That kid with the handgonne is GREAT. Hope for our future!
Haha! Indeed!
LONG LIVE SCOTLAND !
LONG LIVE REAL SCOTTISH ! { HIGHLANDERS}
Sure thing
Dammit, I thought Henry was going to let loose a sackful of wild haggis!
The fact that he brought them along and gave it his all was all that was needed!
beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
That looked like a lot of fun. I have owned a Mounted Police LE carbine and it was a pleasure to shoot with Dominion round nose. The .45-75 Winchester was a bit of a bear but the weight of the carbine compensated some what and brass was a bit hard to find so sessions were short. The worst was the Martini-Henry, just punishing! Cheers.
Nice! Thanks for sharing!
"Give 'em a taste of the cold steel, Lads! " Huzzah!
Haha! Yes.
Damn I wish I had a spread like that... or maybe I don't because i bet thats a lot of work and worry
yep ! a target rich environment is an understatement for sure. "Busy" was a good word too
Lots of effort from everyone to get things in order for sure.
God bless that piper!!!!💂🇬🇧👍
It was great to have Henry out!
Lovely country side, reminds me of the Surrey downs.
A great time all round!
Greetings from Maryland, USA. Thoroughly enjoyed watching in absentia. I had intended to shoot my Snider Rifle at the range before it became too hot to go out in the Noonday sun here. But the big ball of fire in the sky has kept the temperatures in the 90s, which my Nordic genes can no longer tolerate. Thanks again for making this wonderful video.
Thank you kindly!
Good morning, nice to meet a fellow Marylander. I have been looking for a place to shoot my Enfield for a while. Where do you shoot yours? I can not find a place for the life of me.
@@buddysbird3128 Associated Gun Clubs, Marriottsville, MD. Check their website. I am a life member and belong to Marriottsville Muzzle Loaders Club. Where are you located?
@@robertrobert7924 I live in Severna Park, about 15 minutes away from Annapolis.
@@buddysbird3128 I live in Catonsville and it is a 30 minute drive for me. I guess an hour's drive for you. Check the website and Google Maps. Lovely outdoor ranges. Membership required. Best to visit on a Weekday if possible, when the temps are in the 70's.
I am the 400th Like on this video ! that makes me 400 times better than the first like
hmm i even learned some history well done all around nice to see lots young dudes and lasses there. gives one hope for the future
Thanks!
All the cavalry carbines……….. I suspect some work on horseback in the future?
Haha! No, I doubt it very much.... the tack, the horse, the facility,... that's a huge step in investment and time... not to mention a horse that was trained with gunfire....
Thoroughly entertaining.
Blessings from Australia.
🙏✊
Should you ever visit Queensland Australia, I recommend you visit Owens Gun Shop located in Gympie Queensland.
Their examples of 19th and 20th century is outstanding !
Thanks again for your channel and effort .
You are most welcome! Cheers!
Wow, I'm from Québec, I would like to participate next year!
As mentioned here and in all the Alberta Shoot videos, it's by invitation only...
oh, this is great to watch, thanks a lot for sharing it 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers!
@0:58 you mislabeded Mackenzie as "Rob"
Haha!
You are very lucky to live in a land where this is possible
Indeed!
Rob when you do three cheers you should always add one for cabarfeidh when dressed as A Seaforth
Right!
All I needed to know about this event to know that it is amazing is at 4:11
Certainly a lot of work to set up yes!
This was awesome! The volley fire that destroyed the targets was my favorite part.
Cheers!
Looks like fun. I love watching you all shoot the antique arms! I would love to get an Enfield rifle musket reproduction someday. Is there a company that you would recommend for a two band Enfield? Thanks.
An origional Enfield might be easier to find, I haven't really heard of any reproductions being produced
Pedersoli
Pedersoli make both long and short rifles.
Thanks for the info.
enjoyable
Cheers!
Thank you for Heights of Dargai from a Gordon Highlander. (I know I am a Queen’s Own Highlander in the picture but I transferred later in my army career.)
In the North East of Scotland any boys called Findlater are almost always nicknamed Piper
Cheers Neil!
Hello! Great content as always. I have a question regarding the "Serjeant's Fusil" in particular. I was aware that light company Serjeant's did not carry spontoons; however, not that their musket was any different from any other enlisted man. Do you know the exact name of this musket? Or where I could find more information? Thanks!
The 1797 India Pattern Sergeant's Carbine as noted in DW Bailey's "British Military Longarms 1715-1865"
@@britishmuzzleloaders Thank you very much!
Looks like a lot of fun. Darned long drive from San Antonio, TX though. I'll enjoy vicariously.
It was indeed!
That's a nice place to shoot!
Yes it is!
So much Victorian era awesomeness. 👍
Cheers!
Awesome outing! I am probably going to attend the SoM in CA in Sept, hope to see you there!
Have a good shoot!
29:42
the man : Wait,... that's probably not what it should have done.
Haha!
Always a fun event to watch. If only I lived in the west...
It was indeed!
How did you find shooting the Berthier? I picked one up in October 2021 and only got to shoot it a month ago as ammo for it is just thar rare here in Ireland.
That and the Lebel are surprisingly mild shooting.
@@britishmuzzleloaders I didn't find it mild at all. Mine is a carbine and it's a thumper.
I suppose compared to Sniders and Martini's , everything is soft shooting 😄
During the snider challenge event we see Sarah dipping her final round in a tin of something before she loads and shoots. Do you know what was in the 10? Thanks
Its "Udderly Smooth" a water based hand cream. Does a good job in keeping down the fouling. A technique used by many... It's mentioned in the "Observations on Performing to Potential" video on the Martini and in earlier Alberta shoot videos, if you are interested.
Thanks always interested in how to reduce crusty black powder fouling. Great video keep up the good work
What is the name on the march around the 2:00 mark?
Its music from the Household Cavalry Mounted Band.
I want to do a British colonial WW2 impression (perhaps India or even a French Indochina one). Any good places to find these uniforms?
Don't know what a WW2 colonial impression is but all the info on the WW2 kit used on the Channel is in Part 7 and 8 of the Kit series, if you are interested.
@@britishmuzzleloaders thanks. As for what I want to do, it would be an impression based off of the uniforms from one of Britain’s overseas colonies.
There were few "Colonies" that would have had their own uniforms. The Dominons,... i.e. Canada, Australia, NZ, etc,... obviously had their own. Again, look at the supplies mentioned in the videos and see what they have.
They don't like it up 'em, sir. They do not like it up them.
Nope.
Nice I should try and make the trip one year. Is there a link to the shoot? You should have left action open on the Berthier when you were done shooting….
The shoot is a private gathering, unfortunately.
can I ask a question??, what is the difference between smle Mk 1 and smle Mk 1*, please answer me
Minor differences in the butt plate and sling swivel securing method, as well as an alteration to the shape of the magazine among other extremely minor modifications.
@@britishmuzzleloaders another question please , what is smle mk 2 , i just heard aboat mk 1 and mk 3
@@britishmuzzleloaders and , is smle mk 1*** sight calibrated for mk vii ammunition , while smle mk1** sight is calibrated for mk vi ammunition ????
yes, that is correct, as well as the sights are of the u-notch and blade rather than the barleycorn and "V".@@user-vl8ui6qn7r
@@user-vl8ui6qn7r Mk 2 SMLES are converted from MLEs.
The sergeant wasn't too strict.
I know...
One time "at the mess" I had heard that piper story but it was about the Argyll's? Mind it was a Argyll telling it!
You know what those Argyll's are like! "LOL"
Looks like the shoot was good fun!
Stay Well & Take Care
Garry
They were on the Frontier at the same time. Not at Dargai, mind....
Wooooo! It's June again! That........was........AWESOME! In the way that only Chris Farley could say it!
Haha! Glad to hear!
Question please ? : were would I be able to purchase, 577/450 & 577 loaded, brass casing shells. Thank You
Typically you can't... I'd be googling just like you... sorry...
@@britishmuzzleloaders ha, story of me life Eh ? :(
👍👍👍
Cheers!
:)
👍
Fun in the sun.
Agony bags.
It was!
I was going to ask; "What about flintlock smoothbores?" And then I realized this event was of the *19th* century
Quite a few have them ad use them.... They can be used in the "Provincial" (although at 50yds)... There is just no dedicated match for them..
The Warwickshire Lads at the end! Huzzah!
Haha! Well spotted.
so many "assault rifles"......enough to make a wokester swoon....
Yeah...
I wonder if ya spent yer life being stopped n searched by the British army would ya still have a fascination about the exploits of the crown forces..
