A bit of truth there in the humor -- many of the lead balls were hand cast in the old days (and not factory made) and had inconsistent quality Sometimes physical deformities manifested, where the lead ball retained a bit of the sprue where it wasn't trimmed off properly (not perfectly round) thus affecting the ballistics. Sometimes the lead had impurities or voids inside that affected the balance and ballistics of the ball as well..
@@FolkFirearmsCollectiveRather sling a lead ball than drive a golf ball any day! Only one of em will feed ya at the end of the day haha. Great video and music!
Thank you for letting us join in on your fellowship. Spending time with you gentleman and ladies makes those of us who feel a little out of place in modern times a bit better. Thanks again, I look forward to our next gatherings.
Very nice video. It looks like this shoot was at a different site than most of the videos. Great to see your wife shooting her blue trade gun. Such a unique firearm!
Hello from New Orleans Louisiana... Keep your flinty reason firm in Jaws of a Iron to strike at a well spured cocktail of sweet tobacco with a savory tale of Beaver 🦫 escaping the clutches of those Hudson Bayer men Aspiring with those knots blazing in the cool dewy pines...
Thank you for a great video ! I grew up in the area where DAVEY CROCKETT and SGT. YORK were legends, so my favorite rifles were southern long Tennessee rifles. Due to age and medical conditions I can no longer get out, but your videos give me a lot of pleasure !!! Keep it up, I look forward to seeing more !!👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you sir. This is a very inspiring and humbling post here and gives me all the more reason to get these videos out. I hope they fill you with the sense of being there once more.
Absolutely love, love, love all your videos! Would love to meet you all in person. You are an inspiration to every muzzleloader enthusiast everywhere! Keep the m coming!!!!
That means a lot. I like to think of it as we are inspired by the muzzleloaders everywhere! Perhaps we inspire one another and that’s what makes this hobby/life so grand and enjoyable. It’s quite an uplifting endeavor to pursue the traditions here. On occasion I see the intact pursuit of traditional muzzleloading on the east coast with envy as well! Believe me we strive to keep these videos coming with every bit of free time we have. If I could - it’s all I would do. Keep enjoying the videos and we will keep them coming.
It’s a 1760 Bumford trade gun or Carolina Type G. The blue was taken from paint chip samples of the time, and there is historical records of these blue trade guns as you just mentioned traded with Indians and others at that time. Some were taken from an Arsenal during the revolution and used against the British by a boys regiment. The vine pattern is taken off a Bumford trade gun (original) featured in the Museum back I believe in Williamsburg. Clay Smith is a renowned gun maker of Williamsburg and he built this particular trade gun.
I love America despite it’s rocky history. All of the people in this video look like such characters. I’m happy for the people that make this country what it is.
All countries have a "rocky" history, what are you talking about? If it's slavery, guess what - all ethnicities and all regions of the world have enslaved each other, and in terms of the US...the majority of slaves sourced to the US were captured by OTHER AFRICANS! Also, out of all the slaves transported to the Americas, the US had the least amount of slaves...whereas the majority of them went to Central America / Caribbean and South America (the largest portion to Brazil, which btw was under Portuguese control). If anything there should be an outcry against the Portuguese and Spanish since they had the most slaves, and heck...Portugal literally kept their colonial empire even up to the Cold War era!
@@Aesh-om2sz Nope, it's important to fight back against the whole "America bad" nonsense where everyone on the internet just piles on top of the US like it's somehow unique in the questionable/bad things it's done in history. All countries are bad, but a majority also have good qualities...and in many cases the good qualities outweigh the bad. Try to have a more nuanced view of history instead of being black and white
😆 to think how I have to trim these down! Hardest part is music. I need more Folk friends with fiddles and mandolins and banjo to pluck some traditional tunes. Hey there’s 20 more videos also! Thanks for the compliment.
Looks like a whole lot of fun. Also a prime example on the efficacy of modern firearms. So many missed targets. You would be better off with a good bow provided you had straight arrows and the skill to wield it. So much more difficult and uncertain relying on the craftsmanship of someone else's hand for your musket/rifle. The only things in your control would be the ball/bullet and the technique. Even the powder would be beyond you. I"m betting they are all competent marksmen. Just shows the limitations of the platform(s).
"Must have been a crooked ball"
hilarious.

@@Hjerte_Verke I love the idea of having the balls and stuff made by myself. :)
that's a good way to grow old ♥
To heck with golf.

Oh that's a lot of smoke
3:41 That's the most badass sound I've ever heard from a musket
Very nice video. It looks like this shoot was at a different site than most of the videos. Great to see your wife shooting her blue trade gun. Such a unique firearm!
My next project is gonna be a tactical musket 😅
This looks super fun and cozy. 😄
Very cozy.

Shinin times! Thanks Alina and Denny. Flathead Valley muzzleloaders rocks!

That blue rifle is a revelation,didn’t know that some stocks were painted,very eye catching 🦋
First saw a painted stock in a Muzzleloader Magazine article, don't remember which one though. Interesting and definitely different.
Definitely! I love the color! Never seen one before but wow!
If i ever get to the U.S. in my life, this is what i wanna see
Awesome thanks for posting regards from Townsville Australia
What a grand time with a bunch of good folks!
god I love the sound of them
You gotta love flintlocks! Regards from the Czech Republic! :)
Thank you!
Those flintlocks are works of art. I especially love the shade of blue on the ones that were painted
Thank you. Looks like fun was had by all. Cheers from Wellington, NZ🇳🇿.
Looks like a great meeting ❤
Aye glad to see you uploaded again.
Thanks for waiting! Glad you’re here.
Miło było Was zobaczyć. Pozdrawiam serdecznie 👍

Most welcome .
Great Group, thanks for sharing
Good to see you sir.
Great video and fellowship. Looks like the young lady with the blue rifle can give the men a run for the their money. Thank you for sharing.

Very nice y'all and well done! Now I've got to get my TC 50 cal. Renegade out! 🤔😂 From Sophia, N.C.
Great video...👍
want to take my son to something like this so bad.
Awesome video!
Denny, is that one of Clay Smith’s Bumford fowling pieces? It sure has nice trim lines!
Yes indeed. 1760 Bumford blue and vine painted Trade gun! Good eye mate! Also has all appropriate proof marks and hand made brass. He does fine work.
Beats golf any day!!!
Time very well spent!
Just as the founding fathers intended.
The "WHOOSH" sound is pretty impressive. It's like the fell swoop of a sword at range.
Как интересно люди живут...
В России тоже можно организовать нечто подобное
Turquoise muzzleloader, I could imagine indi a new having something like that.

I just want to be one of them ...
for real, who down votes this?
Democrats ?
@@zaynevanday142 probably.
I grew up at rendezvous! I'm surprised I don't recognize any of these guys... Actually is that Frenchie and Sasquatch?
Best moment is at 4:56-5:01
POW!...Pinggggg.
my favorite is the long shot 8:38 - that is a small steel target at 100 yds. Unreal. Marksmanship!
Hey, where are the best places to buy this type of clothing? I love the tassels too.
Most of this is custom made by artisans in the club or others.
@@FolkFirearmsCollective Dixie gun works out of Tenn. sells period clothing.
A bunch of old men and Sacajawea.

8:37 wow that was a nice shot
Incredible
That was great The only thing that would have made it better would have been to make it an hour longer !
