As I watch the Olympics I can't help but wish they would have a flintlock shooting event. Is anyone else in the same agreement. You could have 3-position prone, x-sticks, and off-hand. A woods walk, or the various novelty targets that seem to kick all our backsides. I personally think it would be awesome. And throughout history most countries had access too or experienced a flintlock/muzzleloader time period.
I can see it now. The announcer "Now shooting for the United States at the age of 87 Bob "Dry-Ball" Smith, as you notice Ole' Dry-Ball is sporting leather buckskin pants and a skunk hat, made from animals he harvested and made his own clothes. Dry-Ball is shooting a rifle he made himself from a Maple tree that fell on his shed 40 years ago. Dry-Ball is the oldest Olympic athlete of all time. He, chose to set up camp in his vintage wedge tent outside the venue instead of electing to stay at the Olympic Village. Dry-Ball even refuses to eat the prepared food available to athletes instead opted to prepare his own meals cooked over an open fire. Rumor has it he has been eating squirrels he killed locally here in Paris.
Commentator: Dry-Ball seems in no hurry to step up to the shooting line let me go ask him what's going on. Dry-Ball when will do you think you will be ready to shoot?
Dry-Ball: "Ohhh quitca gripen. What's ya hurry for anyways Sunny, I'll shoot when I'm darn good and ready. It's gunna be a spell anyhow. I still got cast up some balls before I can get ta shooting" (Dry-Ball)
