December Shoot VIDEO
« on: December 10, 2017, 03:26:26 AM »
Today was the December shoot.  I couldn't make the last months shoot due to work.  Brrrrrrr!  Cold day.  Wonderful though. Cold, chilled hands, warm food, hot coffee, campfire and flintlock rifles.  Denny Ducet Channel weekend.



"There is an indescribable calm that comes with the methodical loading ritual of these fine firearms... ....a meditative, zen like state is achieved when interacting with these finely fashioned pieces of steel and wood. ... Traditional muzzleloading is a vacation from the norm a reprieve from modern chaos." -DD

That was a great video; I never tire of watching flintlocks being loaded and fired.  Wish I'd been there.

Steve Zinn made that Rupp rifle. His wife carved it and the fellow shooting it won it at the western national in pole bridge, montana.

I was out in MT in August, you couldn't drive after dark for all the mule deer running in the road.
Cow horn soup must have been the appetizer. Nice video, I could almost smell the burnt powder.

Great video -- enjoyed watching and also made me sad that I miss participating in the events because of lack of mobility from my need for a hip replacement :(
