If muzzleloading was a sport on ESPN (funny video)

Was it traditional or inline ?

Mostly original British Best percussion pieces being shot and a few flints, as I recall.

If I tried 3 of the 4 firing positions shown, I would need help getting up and if I used my rifle as help, I would probably break the stock at the wrist.

Ethan did a great job. And as all ways Ethan is Spot on, I must say Ethan is sometimes too excitable.
All and all as long as Ethan stays on I’ll be giving my thumbs up to his channel

Bravo! Well done! Thanks! Can we look forward to further episodes?

Hilarious characterizations of the commentators LOVED IT

Great little video. I remember an episode of "Top Shot" where they are shooting a black powder smooth bore pistol (don't remember if flint or percussion) with a loose ball! No wading, patching, nothing. Not very period correct in my mind. They had to be careful to not let the ball roll out of the barrel before firing.

More important, will there be others???

Hey thanks, everyone, this was a really fun video to make. A little background, I shot the challenge 4 times and only ever got 1 hit each round.

I had 1 hour to do it and that's what I had to live with. I was pretty disappointed in myself and didn't know if I'd even post it.

While working around the farm this idea hit me and I thought if there was ever a time to publish some of my odd humor, this was it.

I don't want to flood everyone with these, but I really want to explore the format as a way to seriously focus on a match/competition while making a video fun later. It can be very distracting trying to keep a video engaging while trying to shoot accurately.

I can't thank you all enough for the kind words, it really means a lot! I hope to keep improving my video quality over the next year. As always, any thoughts or ideas you have on what you'd like to see or what to improve on are welcome.

I liked it , keeps it interesting and entertaining . I feel you found that perfect medium between the long dry just shooting with bland dialog and the wacky absurd cartoonish videos out there.

I also like that you posted a video where you miss or preform "poorly", like the rest of us , we all have those days. Makes things more real and genuine. Keep up the good work and God bless.
