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.

An elegant weapon for a more civilized age.

@nerdyolddude4924 Год назад

Love it! Star Wars saying applies here!

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

This!!!^^^^ You're the only one who can save the sport, Obi Wan Kenobi! The weapon of the original Rebel Alliance.

Rice pattie prone aka slovic squat requires an Adidas track suit for best results 😋

Undoubtably. I'll have to do an Slavic musket shooting video sometime.

How havent I seen this yet, just incredible all around

@jamesvatter5729 Год назад

Good stuff!

@noapologizes2018 Год назад

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.

Ah, reminds me of basic training. Good video, thanks

@garywarren8926 Год назад

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.

@FlintlockOperator Год назад

No way! We should try and go shoot sometime!

@garywarren8926 Год назад

That would be cool. I'll reach out to you next week when I get back from scout camp with my kid.

@10inmaine 6 месяцев назад

Nice 👍

@garywarren8926 Год назад

Great video, I learned something’s I need to work on myself. Your doing good.

@FlintlockOperator Год назад

Thank you! We're all on the same path, brother!

@samgamgee2936 Год назад

WELL DONE!!! 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 месяцев назад

Loading from behind cover is definitely a topic I'll be covering this fall. I am in the DFW area.

Absolutely awesome video. Now, for some reason, I have an urge to watch Last of the Mohicans.

@darrenglover2126 Год назад

What kind/brand of flintlock is that? And did you make your own powder horn?

@FlintlockOperator Год назад

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.

@GOBRAGH2 2 месяца назад

What model of flintlock were you using in your video?

@FlintlockOperator 2 месяца назад

2nd model short land pattern British service musket. AKA, the "Brown Bess".

@brokentoe570 9 месяцев назад

With all due respect, Why are the new videos on 18 cen. Woodrunnig open up with the hosts shooting on the run. It reminds me of Mark Bakers videos

@FlintlockOperator 9 месяцев назад

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.

@brokentoe570 9 месяцев назад

@@FlintlockOperator thank you for your reply. Keep up the great work

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 Год назад

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.
