250 yard Flintlock Rifle Shooting
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 сер 2019
- I've always been interested in re-creating the long-range shooting accomplishments of America's Revolutionary war era riflemen, and this year's Historic Camp at Springbrook gave me the opportunity to shoot at 250-yard distant targets with a flintlock rifle.
In the video you'll see long range shooting, and the aiming techniques that got the job done.

I watched a video about 3 days ago "proving" that a flintlock rifle only marginally out shoot a musket. I knew better and you just proved better.
Most people have no idea how far 250 yards is especially with iron sights.. that's a long shot !!!! 300 yards with my high-powered 280 deer rifle with a 3 by 9 Redfield 5 Star scope on it is a super long shot for me
Freestanding with a flintlock, 250 yards! Stunning, I don,t care how many shots it took to achieve, it had to be seen to be believed!
It's a long rifle not a musket. During the revolution the Patriots went wild sniping at officers from similar distances.
@@garretphegley8796 he never said it was a musket he said a flintlock. which is correct. so i dont get your point
@@65stang98 I think he edited it
@@garretphegley8796 no you’re just being an autistic manchild. Plz seclude yourself from society.
@@kishascape Dude you don't fucking know me. He did edit it btw, you can't tell anymore because of UA-cams shitty updates.
Good shootin'. I see guys at the range with a modern rifle, sitting at a bench, rifle bagged and miss. Off-hand with a flintlock isn't easy.
Rich StoneHe was using his .45 caliber rifle.
so nice of the guy to keep talking to you non stop
A hit on anything at 250 yds. is admirable! Period-correct sights on a .54 caliber flintlock? You guys rock! Pun intended and admiration glowing
I'm impressed. Think I better get glasses. I can barely see a 100yd target and do good to hit at 75 with my eyes and open sites. 250 with a flint and open sites is incredible.
Shows a great understanding of a man's gun. A round ball hit at 250 yards off-hand is very impressive.
You are one hell of a shot . But that’s what happens when you shoot a lot . And have a place to do it . I’m impressed as hell . I had 28 years of military shooting, but I’m rusty as hell . I am almost finished with a new .45 cal flint southern mountain rifle and I got to find a range to shoot it .
People underestimate how accurate flinters are. We use to shoot caps of plastic side bottles at 50 yards when we were ready into shooting them
This is part of what Keep and Bear arms is all about. This sort of marksmanship should never be allowed to die, in the United States.
What a super interesting video with Lovely firearms! Beautiful setting too! When we think of our Revolution almost 250 years ago, it brings to light the accuracy of a good rifle and shooter. Thanks Much and Many Blessings to You and your Family Mike! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
This gentleman make me feel calm when I watch his videos
At my age I couldn’t even see it, great shooting
That was some pretty fantastic shooting! You Pennsylvania guys! No wonder we won the Revolutionary War!
Wow, that’s some good shooting!!!
You have the best job in the world! Shooting black powder rifles and sidearms an getting paid for it. Very envious. Thank you.
Off-hand shooting really isn't that difficult, but the further the target is from the shooter, the more important it becomes to really lock that supporting arm in tight to the body to provide a stable rest for the rifle. That's how the 2nd shooter was able to hit the gong on his first attempt, so you can see how tightly he held the supporting arm against the body. The rifle barrel barely moved.
That's what shooting is a is about great friends, great guns and great scenery. And a great vid Mike!
Excellent shooting!
Looks like real fun.
I'm catching up on some of these older videos. Mike sure makes these things look easy. One of the best BP shooters on UA-cam. Between him and CapandBall, you can't go wrong.
Now that's some good shooting.
Smacking an 11 inch target at 250 yards... In 1815, I can't imagine how impressive such a feat must have been! Good shooting! I can well understand how annoyed that made the British down in New Orleans.
Nice shooting! I am glad you made a video of that. Until I shot mine, I never realized how accurate a patched round ball was. It was great for you to show how a good marksman handles a rifle, whether in 2019 or in 1776. Keep them coming!
How a good marksman handles a rifle, you say? You mean how after he did make the first hit, and then turned toward the gallery/spectors @7:37 and had the unshot barrel pointed directly in their direction? No priming powder doesn't make this a safe thing, no matter what.
@@joeeckley5272 You weren't there, you have no idea what is behind the camera, for all you know it could have been a clear lane. How about this, why don't you post your own video showing us how it is done. Put up or shut up.
@@DaveSmith-cp5kj
I'm guessing you weren't there as well? My assumption was one of a logical assumption. Your mouthy statement was made with no logic whatsoever, which fits your type of personality exactly. One of an argumentative, spoiled child, with nothing better to occupy your time. Perhaps if you were to seek gainful employment, you'd be better suited to fit in today's society.
@@joeeckley5272 I know Mike very well. I also noticed there was no gallery noise, no other cross talk as they took their time discussing their shots, & even walked to the target & back. He also records his videos on his own, with his camera on a tripod. So, I am going to apply my logic and say he almost certainly conducted himself safely & made some truly remarkable shots. That's less of a stretch than your "half-cocked" ASSumptions. Then, you follow up that steller performance with a passel of more ASSumptions berating a fellow black powder enthusiast.
So, in order to avoid the chance of being logically incorrect, I am going to ask you one question: "Honestly, were you born an ASSH*LE, or did you work at it your whole life?"
Thank you very little....
Lt Col Jet
P.S.: If you really want to freak out, you could watch some of his other videos. At their conclusion, he shows his shots from the "bad guy's perspective". Try not to wet or soil yourself.....just sayin.
@@jetdriver1jetdriver194 I see you have rather low standards-- probably voted for Hillary and Obummer too.
You have yourself a nice day, and keep enjoying what you do.
Nice shooting!!
.54 caliber, with the right barrel twist and correct powder charge cannot be matched. Good shooting.....
If I could hit that with my 303 with open sights I'd be happy! Great video thanks.
Super shooting/great gun! Great video!
Exceptionally done. True marksman
That is outstanding shooting! Very impressive. I didn't know they were that accurate,
Bring your flintlock to the party that's coming for the second revolution
Outstanding!
Amazing shooting Mike
Great shots, on a rifle I'd never seen before! Thought swivel guns were on the rails of ships. Well, silly me!
Looking forward to coming out this year I've been teaching my close friend how to operate and maintain his pedersoli. I want to introduce him to the rendezvous way and what it's all about hoping I see other members of the primitive outdoorsmen group I joined being the other meets earlier this year faced cancelation. Mike I have been a long time viewer of your content and have just watched in awe of your expertise with antique arms much of what I've learned I've picked up from older guys who care about furthering these traditions to future generations. Thank you for all the hard work you do for our community.
There is something about muzzle loaders that make one want to shoot in a way that is also useful in the field like your precision offhand shooting. Or the stake cut. Or splitting a ball on an axe head to break two targets on each side of the axe head. Great shooting.
Or using it for home defense as the founding father’s intended.
Impressive. and that without rifling.
It is a rifle. Both barrels are .54 caliber, rifled one turn in 72 inches.
Looks Like A Lot Of Fun! Great Video Mike, Thanks For Sharing!
"Ach du lieber, mein schatz"! I greatly admire your gun & shooting ability! YA!! My only "claim to fame" was when I was 33 years old with the Joliet Muzzleloaders in Illinois about 1973 when I lived in Chicago. My rifle was a .58 custom made Hawken by Andy Fautheree in 1968. Don't remember the powder charge. 5 shots offhand at 100yds. Total group of 5 was 6 1/2"; 4 of the 5 were grouped in 2 5/8"!!! Score was 40 of 50. For me that was "Divine providence" as I was never a very good shot! My caplock Hawken was a very beautiful curly maple stock & gorgeous browned barrel with a heavy (1 1/8") Bill Large barrel & Al Osterman lock. At 80 years old now, I still have that rifle in near mint condition!!! I'd love to carry it with me in my coffin! "Gesundheit"!!!!!
Damn fine shooting! Find a worthy young man for the next owner of your treasured rifles. Then both you and the rifles will have the only real eternal life.
Gr8 shooting. Love the rifle
looks like fun! I'd love to try that
Old guys kicking some ass rock on
That is so impressive. At that distance everything is just a blur to me. Even with my glasses. Fantastic shooting!!
Nice get together of excellent shooters and rifle builders. Shoot lots and stay safe.
Besides being a great shot... i would say: an even greater build 🎖
What a beautiful rifle ! You should do a hunting video with a musket
I love your videos and thank you for making them God bless you please keep them coming stay safe
Fun watch! Thanks
Awesome shooting 😎
thats a pretty impressive shot man.
This is a flintlock muzzloader unlike modern guns the powder and bullet get loaded through the muzzle.kiddo
Good shooting. A few years ago we where trying the same thing buy shooting shotguns and using 12 gauge slugs. I hit the gong on my 3rd try. I haven't tried it with any of my muzzleloaders but will be doing some shooting when winter is over. Thanks for sharing
Good shot, beautiful rifle
Have always enjoyed your content Mike and yes; Great shooting.
Fine shooting. I'd never seen a swivel breach flintlock until this video. Definitely a cool setup. Also, pretty amazing trajectory for a .54cal. I would've thought the hold over would have been much more.
D V The sights on that rifle are set at 200 yards.
Amazing Mike
Great shooting Mike!
Very sweet shooting 👍
Great shooting!
I always thought the long shot that Hawkeye makes in the Last of the Mohicans was b/s -obviously not! Great shooting Mike!
400+ yard kills from American rifleman during the revolution using the long rifle. It can be done if you know your rifle.
Hell of a shot Mike. Impressive.
Nice shooting and fine rifle. Good video sir.
Great shooting boys !!!! That is not easy to do and you made it look somewhat easy. Congratulations......
Very impressive.
wow very impressed
Fun, fun, fun. Good shooting there Amigo. I love distance shooting. Great shooting.
Wish I could shoot half this good!
Such impressive work Mike and a wonderful rifle. This is amazing work from a great rifleman! Really has inspired me get buy a flint or percussion rifle :-) Thanks for sharing
Good shooting!
Good Shooting!
Cool to figure that out with help from friends. Interesting to note that if it had been a British soldier, you still would have hit him with the previous "misses". Seems like that!
Or scared the crap out of him.
Ive never seen a rifle like that I love it
I've been using Graf powder for the last 5 or 6 years. My primary complaint is that it seems to fowl the bore more than others I've used. Keep in mind I was still using Dupont until I purchased this from Graf. The old stash eventually ran out. I had paid $4 a pound in the '80's for Dupont, so I was alarmed at the current prices. Graf was a lot cheaper than the others AND it's made in Germany, so I stocked up on it. But, loading is harder than it used to be.
I was quite wrong about Graf Black Powder. After watching Mikes video about having fowling problems with a certain rifle and curing the problem by polishing the bore...I gave it a shot. That bore was still easy to load after 12 shots. It might have taken an hour, altogether. Best thing I could have done.
@@michaelrobinson1945 Using wet patches will help with the fouling. I've gone over 80 shots without ever having to swab the bore using spit patch.
Impassive Mike ! Great shooting.
Good shooting I have plans to get a flint lock at some point
you are having way to much fun.
nice shooting
I enjoy shooting bp inspiring video
Great job by all! Open sights no optics other than your corrective lenses? Sure would want to be on 5e opposing side in a lead slinging contest against you and your fellow long Hunters! Great job and thanks for documenting for us! I recently purchased a 42 1/4” barrel long Pennsylvania mule ear lock rifle in .50 bore, going to see how far out I can reach consistently.
That camps on my bucket list
Great video mike I hope to see more soon especially some cap and ball revolver videos
Great video and great shooting Mike!
Good shooting
Mike that is damn good shooting with a M/L
Very interesting muzzleloader.
Sounds like spin drift, great shooting
Rifleman2.0 Maybe. There was about a 10 MPH breeze blowing that had a lot to do with it too.
No way is that spin drift at that velocity with a 1/56 or slower twist. Wind and a round ball, nothing more.
That's pretty cool. I didn't know that black powder rifle was that accurate.
They can be. I have found bullet lube is the most important. Black powder fouling build up ruins accuracy. If you use a lube that keeps the build up from getting bad, they can be very accurate. I like a lube made from 50/50 tallow and beeswax.
@@MuskratOutdoors
So would say black powder is more dirty than the synthetic powder?
@@benjimenfranklin7650 You've never shot black powder I see... Have you ever cleaned a chimney?
@@northernwoodsman
Yeah I cleaned a chimney. I shot black powder too . But the powder was home made by my brothers . It was a long time ago too. I was just wondering.
@@benjimenfranklin7650 black powder is the worst. If the fouling is left in the bore even for a few hours after shooting. It cakes up. Similar to mud drying.
Simply awesome ! ✔🌟✔🌟✔🌟✔ 👍☺👌 Back to basics , Camaraderie Friends smell of the field and grass , take you back to the beginning of the Republic and it's People
IMPRESSED.
That is some damn good shooting! Daniel Morgan could have used both of you.
Phoenix, AZ
You should use same barrel for this shot to determine hold over or windage
As a resident of the SCR/WB area, I can feel all those bugs at this very moment. Hate em!
That looks like a real hoot.
I know this is an older video, but I'm impressed by the left handed gun and right handed shooting of Mike. I often find some really nice rifles but I'm left handed. Anyone have input on this? I've built a few of my own, but sometimes I want other peoples.
Nice shots.
I can’t help but flinch
Impressive!
Yeah!
That's better than I can do.
Do you remember that "Outdoor Life" article from the 70s about the three custom flintlocks? One was a swivel barrel albeit rifled/smoothbore. That ruined me for modern stuff as far as blackpowder goes.
Muzzleloaders are wood and steel... no plastic.
Have fun.
Got faith in ya Mike. You'll get that little snot. If for no other reason than it's feeling too safe. Lol
It must be very satisfying hitting it. Unlike a modern gun that you can quickly load and shoot a lot of.
excellent
