Such a wonderful showcase of how much fun there is to be had with black powder firearms, not to mention the possible historical analysis, thank you!
Great fun indeed!
Incidentally, Sir, I appreciate you being the good chap who forwent much personal shooting to be the sergeant for the troops. Takes a generous man to stand behind and command at an event where you otherwise would be getting more opportunity to discharge arms than you might ordinarily.
Someone had to "make it work".... Its a sum of many parts, I just happened to be giving commands and driving target tugs....
I recognise the miniatures - I think those are formerly from Mike Snook's Indian Mutiny Range, now under Empress. Quite the stunning thing to see in the flesh too!
I am not sure of which they are... They "blew up" well for figure target purposes!
Hi from Syracuse NY USA everyone thank you for sharing history of the British history of firearms
Hi there! Cheers!
Congratulations wining the Gin brother
Thank you! It was a fun (and historical) match!
That was absolutely marvelous, as always--it gets better every year, thank you so much for sharing. I especially liked the drone shots for perspective. But... Did I see Brett biting a cartridge in the opening volleys? Barbaric! Gentlemen tear, they don't bite!
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it! It was a grand time, for sure. Don't blame Brett... Pre 1859 drills.....
It hurt my soul, but it was 1857, so bite the cartridge I did.
@@papercartridges6705 LOL! Oh, the things we do in the name of historical authenticity!
I love these mock battles! Also, I envy how you deliver commands. They’re so crisp and clear!
Thank you!
Brilliant! I always look forward to watching this every year. It looks like so much fun and its's wonderful to see so many fine historic rifles and muskets being used by those who evidently really respect their history. I already look forward to watching next years shoot. Best wishes.
Thanks Jason!
Great subject matter - Jonathan Ferguson has just released a video on a post mutiny Indian army weapon, I have put a mention in for your channel but tried hard not to make it a spoiler Rob.
Lack of vegans leading to loss of life.
Yes he did. The 58/59 Muskets.
I always look forward to these Forum Shoot videos.
Cheers!
always find your coverage of this event fantastic , i wish there more like across canada .thanks
Cheers! It’s a very difficult thing, to get all the contributing factors in place to do this kind of thing.
All the rifles are very beautiful and historical. You have highlighted the performance of all the rifles. Thank you very much👍👍👍👍👍👍
Most welcome!
Add the Alberta Shoot to my bucket list !! Also well done on the volleys gentlemen !! Great to see everyone in good health & spirits 😊
Happy to have our American friends up after such a prolonged absence.
Brilliant! Oh to be able to shoot my Martini Henry! I’m going to have to learn to reload.
Yes you will!
At one stage in the defence of Hindoo Rao's House the 9 man firing line was managing just 15 rounds per minute with 4-5 skirmishers hit - they'd have to quicken the pace a bit to avoid getting overrun !
All in good fun.
Looks like a blast. Lots of fun to be had.
Indeed!
Looks just as fantastic as always. Again, bravo Rob + crew for all the work put into making it a very special event!
Feeling very privileged to have joined you in the previous few.
It was a grand time!
very good job ! i never found videos like this on the web, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
That looks like a blast ! Thanks for sharing !
Cheers!
Looks like everyone had an excellent time! I really enjoyed the historical theme behind everything. Thanks for the look see!
Most welcome!
Thank you Rob! That was a rather quick edit 😊 Very happy to see this up to watch today!
Yes, it was a rather fast turn around time...
Fantastic!!! Beautiful rifles, and a great history lesson. Cheers bud!
Cheers!
great atmosphere
It was!
This was a great video and enjoyed every year, and will watch many more times. The photography and choreography was very well done.
Thank you!
28:14 what a badass sound. I would love to know what it would sound like to be down range of a pritchett volley.
Pretty much like any other rifle musket volley.... but impressive, for sure... there is another down-range clip in the 2016 video.
Outstanding as always
Thank you!
looks like you had a lot of fun there
Indeed!
Hazzar hazzar you dapper chap
Haha! Cheers!
I have come to look foreword to this shoot always looks like Great fun
It was indeed!
Out of curiosity, would anyone happen to know if there were many flintlock weapons still actively used by Sepoys in the 1850s? I know the British were unusually keen to arm the Sepoys with modern rifles in the 1850s, but trying to establish how modern the weapons the troops had before being issued rifles is proving trickier for me than I expected.
Not by Sepoys (professional Indian soldiers) but certainly by the civilian masses that flocked to their cause... The Bengal Army (the one of the three in India from which most of the Mutinous Regiments came from) was armed with EIC percussion smoothbores.
@@britishmuzzleloaders Thankee!
Cool stuff!
Cheers!
Lettin ‘‘em get a little close there boys, PRESENT”
Yes.
Love these videos
Cheers!
So this is where Paper Cartridges guy went to!
Haha! Just for the weekend!
The bagpipe music always gets me thirsty for scotch while watching your videos.
Haha!
And use of the drone works well, maybe a cheap gopro type camera on the gun position could work; all in all a joy to watch!
Perhaps... not really willing to sacrifice a camera though.
👍👍
Thank you!
❤❤❤❤❤💯💯💯💯
Cheers!
A historical british brutality match in some aspects. Putting that all together surely took some time. If you use white lettering text overlay, give it a black outline so it'll be readable on any background. That Cavalry Carbine...I'd like one of those.
They're moving! Amazing! How was that arranged? A winch? RC cars? Lots of fun to watch the Volleys and seeing the fun time when the weather was in your favour.
The target was towed by a vehicle.
Nice video, really love the sound of those cannons. You guys could use a Maxim Gun to fight of the hordes of savages attacking you!
Haha! That would be a special day!
I sincerely hope it was a bottle of Tanqueray London Dry Gin, not Bombay Saphire, yuk.
Haha! It was a great gift and fun idea!
Cool
Yes it was!
Those naughty natives!!
Plenty of naughtiness to go around during that conflict, for sure!
I have a question Mr Rob have you ever fired a 1861 Springfield?
I have not.
Could anyone recommend some good books on the wars of the Victorian Era? Something like a chronology of all the wars and major battles during her reign?
The four part series from Osprey "The British Army on Campaign"
@@britishmuzzleloaders Just checked them out on Amazon and they are exactly what I am looking for. Thanks very much.
Rob, did you manage to secure yourself a pistol before the Canadian pistol sales ban?
I have not.
Hope to be worthy someday....
Not a completely "open" event, unfortunately.
@@britishmuzzleloaders
totally understand. just hope to make the cut someday
Miss watching your videos. I know I'm just one man, but it would be great if you could also upload them to Rumble. I don't care to support anti-American social media platforms such as this one.
It's all about time for me... The Utreon account is up and running....
What rifle is this at 10:08?
It's literally written on the screen......
@@britishmuzzleloaders Oh my bad, I though that was the brand of the rifle😅
@@therealhistorybuff990 no problem. It is the “brand” so to speak…
@@britishmuzzleloaders Great video as always, I love how you guys had loads of fun without any fancy equipment. Quick question, your lads were wearing British-Indian uniforms?
Any Indian shooters show interest in this event (or the British Militaria Forum)? I'd be tempted to include targets representing members of the (dis)Honourable East India Company and a group of shooters dressed as Sepoys to be fair to history and inclusive. After all, the event is considered the First War of Independence in some quarters. Fascinating stuff. TFP
To each their own. Although, did you happen to see James throughout the video?..... I think that Indianmuzzleloaders has a video with redcoat and khaki clad targets.
Maybe certain people should return to certain quarters.
