Shooting Black Powder with Families in Pennsylvania....

[B P Maniac Shooter]

My family and I took a 10 day trip all around the state of Pennsylvania recently. That is why no videos has been posted lately. In recent years, I try to organize an afternoon of black powder shooting with a family that enjoys watching the BPMS Channel. Next summer, we will be heading down towards North or South Carolina for a vacation. I'll try to find a family down there to organize a shoot with. Meanwhile, enjoy this fun outing with the Berger & Reynolds family:

I missed you last week Mark. You were traveling my state!

Very cool.
I hunted PA for years. My first deer and first black bear I took there. Love that State.
I still have some relatives up there.

This is why I didn't post any videos.
I was traveling throughout your whole state driving as many back roads as possible.
Beautiful country you guys have over there.

That .72 caliber is cool.

That's the biggest gun I've ever shot.
It is a beast for sure!

..,and a great time was had by all. Miss Madeline loved the chicken dance

What sort of powder load did you guys use on that .71?

What sort of powder load did you guys use on that .71?

He was loading it with 90 grains of 3F powder.
The last shot that made the Daffy Duck target flip over was loaded with 100 grains of 3F.
That's a lot of powder. I'd say 75 grains would be enough.
It is beast of a gun for sure!

Yes....one of the places I wanted to visit was the Johnstown Flood tragedy. I remember reading about that tragedy back in high school 40+ years ago. I really wanted to visit the remains & markers of that tragic event.

Proof ? You probably already know this, however, this is for others to see.
I'm beside City Hall downtown Johnstown. The flood marker is 35' off the sidewalk on the side of the building.

Now....THAT's a lot of water..!!

After the 77 flood parts of the mill never opened and was filled with mud and debris .
In the 80s we scrapped the mill , the mud was still wet inside when the workers were cleaning the buildings out
