It's on my list-o-things to try! Ive got plenty of property but the slight rolling hills make 100 yards surprisingly difficult to find.

@@thomas.bill92 nice.. but it’s meters not yards. It’s almost the same.

@@thomas.bill92 100 meters is 109 yards. I think

Oh yes, meters! My shooting background has yards and moa drilled into my brain haha

Thanks Chad! I was dang near aiming in the dirt to compensate for the fork width!

I tell ya, some of the stuff that comes out of their mouths... Haha!

Granted, there was a lot of warm up shooting before the camera came out haha!

Yes

You got that right!

Hey, thanks DeeeZ! Means a lot to me.

Hey thanks for giving me a reason to get out and try it! Really makes me doubt some of the guys out there on RUclips claiming consistent headshots on squirrels at 40 yards! I can barely see a can clearly at ~27, let alone a 25mm squirrel head at 40.

It's not like anyone actually likes to eat those things anyway.... 😂😂😂

@thomas.bill92 no kidding they can ruin an Easter basket in a hurry 😂🤣😅

Couldn't think of a more fitting artist.

Thanks man!

Out of all the things in the world to shoot a slingshot at, a beer can is probably top on my list. Fun to shoot and fun to make, if you catch my drift...

Whip, smack is music to my ears. Just ran across this channel and subbed

Thanks! I'm hoping to get more shooting videos on the channel soon.

I prefer CCI caps. That's what is typically available around me.

Hey there, James! The Deerhunter model comes with sling attachments installed from the factory. The sling was just a Winchester branded sling sold by Walmart at the time. It was made of neoprene and was grippy on one side, very comfortable sling but I haven't seen it in stores recently (or I'd buy a couple more for my other guns).

@@thomas.bill92 thanks Thomas for the response. I think I'm gonna go ahead and pull the trigger on one. I saw that these also come in kits where everything is set up like a starter kit and comes with all the items you need to get started at a $399 price tag. I also saw the stainless cerakote version of this rifle and what a beautiful rifle that one is. It was being sold as a stand-alone...no starter kit, just the rifle for $369 and the blued (black colored) version alone was $349. Not bad for either of them price wise. I also liked the little canvas looking shoulder bag and could tell that could be a good starter bag unless I find something else. But that little bag looks to be something perfect for this kind of rifle and to put all the necessary items you need for a fun range day. Can I ask if you could list all the items you use such as powder type, wad type, ball type that works for you? Also, did you need to upgrade anything on your rifle such as the ram rod or sights or trigger or even the flintlock itself? Again, great video and thanks so much for sharing. When I was a little boy, I used to watch my dad shoot black powder rifles and he'd dress up the part for the competition shooting events in buckskin pants, shirts and moccasins. I've been wanting to get into flintlock rifles as I'm somewhat getting bored of all the stuff out there now. Watching your video makes me need a new hobby now. Have a great day and thanks again...👍👍

Hey James! I will tell ya now that the kit wasn't all that it was made out to be. If you plan on shooting it once or twice a year then it would suffice but if you really get into the hobby, you will find yourself replacing pretty much everything in the kit. I shoot flintlocks almost every week and don't use anything that came in the kit at this point. Now don't let this dissuade you from getting a flintlock but I think you would be better off getting the rifle you want (and the best you can afford) and building a kit from there. My bag that I take with me to the range and on my woods walk has a few specific items that will get used or get me out of a pinch and not much else! When it comes to powder patch and ball combinations, if you get yourself a .50 rifle, get some .490" round balls, some dry patches (The prelubed ones can become frustrating as they can dry out and make loading very hard, I use pillow ticking fabric liberally lubed with olive oil or mink oil) and some 3f real black powder. Trying to use pyrodex or other substitutes will lead to a lot of misfires and hangfires. If you're on Instagram, look me up at nnlongrifles, I could talk about this stuff for days but RUclips comment conversations get me all turned around haha!

@@thomas.bill92 hi Thomas, yeah I bought the starter kit first to basically do a "entry level" into the hobby before I really dive into it. Figured I'd try it out and see how it goes and aside with spring just around the corner, I could get some time in into the new hobby. I bought the rifle earlier today off gunbroker and the vendor offered layaway so I took advantage of that. Probably be another month or two before I can get anywhere with the new hobby. In the meantime, I'll watch all the fun videos that are on here about the hobby. Gear bags, "possibles" bag and powder types, ball types, how to clean and some other basic stuff I wanna know about. I'll keep you posted...and thanks again...🍻

It gets the job done! When I was told that flints were not returnable or refundable from a certain vendor, I had to improvise.

@Bill Thomas yes in the last few months mine have all been very tall I have had to knap them down this looks much faster

I just wish that the vendors would get word back to the knappers over across the pond that we aren't happing paying for 12 flints, 6 of which need modifications to work.

.58!

Oh yes haha, Samsung ultra slow mo for whatever it means! I'm amazed at how quick this lock is.
