Shots -- a movie Connie and I have been working on and enough done to release a small preview for the folks we know. Not a boat in it . . . just shots. Hope the season is going great for everyone!

Neat to see that many muzzle loaders all at once! We do have a muzzle loading range section at the gun club we belong to, but usually no more than half a dozen ML at any one time.

Wow, some of those bench guns were neat. Never seen those before. what is the range on those? How tight are the groups? Are they smooth bore?

Bob - yes it is neat to see that many - thousands. People fly in from Europe (and everywhere else too I suppose) for it.

Tom

The long range seems to be 1/2 mile. I know they shot incredible distances at the Creedmore (sp?) back in the 1800's. These are all types of arms from smoothbore muskets and shotguns to rifled Kentucky, Tennessee and mountain guns, and modern bench type as well. You see everything under the sun, including a canon accuracy shoot I'm told. It really was something to witness, for sure, and I've tried to capture the feeling of actually being there as best I could.

They are even making rifles right on the grounds. Some of the ones shown were $10,000+ rifles although this is by no means the norm or necessary to compete. The vast majority were sub $500 pieces.

Are most of the pieces modern, or are there some which are originals?

One of the rules on our range is to call out "flint up" when the flint is cocked. I see where that would not be practical there....but perhaps a real advantage to wearing leather clothing!

What about all that (second hand) smoke that relic firearm powder makes?
Like second hand tobacco smoke, second hand musket smoke can't be harmless.
Maybe fun shootin' targets or turkeys but, jeeze, your lungs man, your lungs.

What about that, eah?

Aye.

Bob: I saw everything there under the sun being used. They have people building beautiful pieces of art there - total reproduction Tennessee, Kentucky, etc., in custom woods. A whole film of the gunmakers could easily be made, there are lots of them pouring metal, making from scratch. The town (very small) is headquarters of the National Muzzle Loading Association and seems to exist now to support it.

Last of this series:

Shots IV: Women Shooters - National Muzzle Loading Rifle Championships

https://youtu.be/p6PbHHtE7hg

Had a blast up there and recommend going if you're in the area (Ohio River, 23 miles away), Cincinnati largest city nearby.
