Shooting a flintlock smoothbore ranger-style

Mike!
Thanks the video, Doc! A great start to a Thursday. ;0) That style of bag would be useful at the range with almost any type of BP weapon. Small, close and organized for just the essentials.
regards!

Enjoyed your video.

good video as always, id like to try a fowler some day. what one would you recommend that's affordable, a kit would be fun to.

Nice video. Have a Brown Bess that I attempted to get 3 shots within one minute. Seemed to be the rule of thumb for back in those days. Couldn't get past two in a minute. It's damn hard and gives you an appreciation for the environment our soldier dealt with back then. Fix Bayonets!!!!

Three in a minute is fast! I prefer not to prime my pan first, which is important for speed (all based on using paper cartridges). I can get two and some, or three in a minute starting with a loaded gun. Just don't grab too much of that wood ramrod on the reloads, when they break they are SHARP and will leave a mark on your arm. Ask me how I know that...

As a subscriber I’ve watched most of them I think. Informative, interesting and just down right entertaining. Love how you get into character to fit the gun your featuring. You’ve done one on hats I believe how about one on costumes. Your wardrobe must be as extensive as your gun collection.

Mike, I always enjoy your videos. This one is especially pertinent as I want to pare down the amount of gear I take to the range. Unless it's a competition, I rarely take more than twenty shots in a session. (Using a flintlock tends to draw attention from the cartridge shooters and a lot of enjoyable conversation. ) Taking a smaller bag with what is needed instead of the mountain of gear I usually do would be a nice change.

250 Yard on a gong. Wife observed he’s a pretty good shot. Your latest video of course.

That's the way my dad taught me to set up my bag in the 70's. Always a front pocket with loose balls and patching or a single pocket pouch with only that. His grandpa taught him that. I passed it on to my kids.
Great video!
