250-Yard Flintlock Rifle Shooting

[Firelock]

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, as well as the rifle, the load and the aiming techniques that got the job done.

I hope you like it. Let me know what you think.

Really impressive shooting Mike. Doing it offhand is even more impressive.

I've enjoyed all your videos over the years.

Good stuff Mike.  Round balls are amazingly accurate with good loads.

That's good shooting! Hard to hold a V-sight that accurate without covering up the entire target!
