Will do! LOL!

Hi everyone. I’m Mike Beliveau. I think it is safe to say that most people these days know me for my Duelist1954 YouTube channel where I shoot a wide variety of historical firearms at poor old Evil Roy. I think it is less well known that I’ve been a gun-writer for various books and magazines...

Yes, a flintlock

They don't need to be regulated, they each have their own sights, and each barrel is sighted in separately, so the should hit in the same spot, if I could hold that well...obviously I can't...LOL

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...

I’ve done over 500 videos for YouTube, but this one on smoothbore shooting may be my favorite.

As many of you know, YouTube de-monetized over 100 of my videos on the Duelist1954 channel last week. Naturally, I requested a manual review of each one. So far, they have reviewed 63 of the videos in question. For 21 videos, the manual reviewers reversed the original decision, so those...

I just finished writing an article for “Muzzleloader” magazine on setting up a hunting bag for smoothbore shooting. It will probably run in the magazine next year. I also put together a video on loading smoothbores from the bag. I welcome your thoughts on the subject.

In part 2 of the 2017 SHOT Show series we’ll see some beautiful new laser-engraved single-action sixguns from Taylor’s & Company. Val Forget of Navy Arms will show us what his company is doing to beautify 1873 and 1892 Winchester rifles, making them rival fine custom-built guns. Kimber will...

I got that bag fro Bague Harold during a Fort Frederick Market Fair.

In this video you can come with me to attend Industry Day at the Range before the 2017 SHOT Show. Industry day is when the fraternity of gun writers gets to shoot all the new offerings at the SHOT Show. https://www.full30.com/video/016c1360e42f20d1ac3debc91c989898
