I particularly liked his YT movie on the accuracy of RB in a musket at extended ranges, and also his 250 yard gong-ringing session - some shooting, right there!
Love. Mikes videos on all things blackpowder learnt a lot more watching his latest video on starting out on flintlocks but you seam to learn thing or two from watching many of his videos a True talent for history telling and knowledge. Cheers
Part 2 was released a day or two ago on loading and shooting a flintlock. Mike did his usual good job of explaining powder choice, round ball and patch selection and lube for newcomers. This morning he put out an abbreviated version for those who can't spend 40 minutes on a video.
I believe Mike said the next, maybe final, episode will cover accessories.
Great! I put front page links to both on cap-n-ball.com. These are so thorough that part 4 would only need to add percussion lock and caps to complete a full muzzle loading course.
I wish I could have had Mike B's videos when I got started shooting muzzle loaders in the early 1970's. Back then, Al Gore hadn't invented the internet so I was pretty well stuck with Dixie Gun Works. All in all, I think maybe we might have been better off just figuring things out for ourselves.
Mikes channel is one of my favorites. I am getting ready to jump into the flintlock world and his videos have helped me a lot. I don't get out to shoot much BP lately since I have little time with work, the dogs, recovering from my short bought with cancer, and getting the house ready to sell. Gotta get out of this little town that is turning into a section of the detroit megalopolis and put some space around myself.......
