Flintlock Endurance Test | NMLRA Woodswalk 2023 | Traditional Muzzleloaders

Today we're at the Walter Cline Range in Friendship Indiana shooting the NMLRA woods walk during the 2023 National Championships. I shot the woodswalk 3 different times with 3 different groups and had a great time. Thanks to all who asked me to shoot with them.
My best score was 12/18, my lowest was 4/18. It's a marathon of a course that can take 2 hours to finish depending on how many people are in your squad. Shout-out to Conner, the leftie in the first group. He placed 3rd in the National Championship!

You are welcome my friend

Looks like a LOT of fun and I like the fact that it's just come as you are and enjoy it.

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Absolutely. It’s a wonderful time

[@charlescomly1]

Looks like great fun.😊

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

It was!

[@darrenvanderwilt1258]

That looks like a ton of fun.

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

It sure was, a highlight of my life really.

[@darrenvanderwilt1258]

@@ILoveMuzzleloading I’ve done a few 3D archery shoots, mostly with recurve and longbow, and this resembles that in most respects. Using a flintlock or percussion rifle adds that extra bit of fun. Hopefully I can get involved with a woods walk in my area.

[@miketoombs627]

Looks like a great time!

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Very!

[@LessThanItTakes]

Woodswalks are my favorite events. Our club hosts two per year. I peaked fall of last year when I cut the crossed strings. Large difference with our rules: misfires are marked at 0.

[@bigracer3867]

Smoke pole!! The best smoke their is!!!😎

[@BlackPowderHistorian]

I can’t believe I still haven’t made a trip to shoot the woods walk.

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Let me know when you can, the match and ice cream after are on me!

[@BlackPowderHistorian]

Sometime this spring!

[@Snap4590]

Some of the most fun I've had is being on a woods walk with my friends/hecklers.....

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Amen!

[@martinmeltzer2696]

Looks like a good time was being had by all. It was such a sympathetic audience too... when things wen "Wahoonie", as well! Good memories!

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

The crowd makes it all the better, lol

[@TheMusketMan98]

Looks like y’all had a great time.👌🏼😁

This was so much fun; we will definitely be back for another visit.

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Can't wait!

"But can you shoot?" "Hell no." *immediately misfires*

[@shenyathewelder9695]

A adore as you guys casually fuck with each other while shooting at god knows what, or more accurately pulling the glass. (Pulling glass out of your feet because you dropped the bottle)

[@DocLaw172]

I enjoy the missing-the-target shots. It's what I do the best!

[@williamkoppos7039]

3 18 shot walks. Yeah that's endurance. And more fun than a hooman bean should be 'lowed.

[@TheBreakdownShow]

Always seems like an interesting event.

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

It has a lot of variety for sure.

[@davefellhoelter1343]

[@rustyshackleford4728]

I'm no sharpshooter either but it's good fun either way! You get a lot of use out of that SMR. I go back and forth between my colonial & smr. Guess I need to build a woods runner

[@smokum7]

Thought I was the only one that would use a zouave in a woodswalk👍

[@ball_python1]

Cool

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Thanks!

[@larryalexander4833]

[@joeeckley5272]

May I ask what type/brand of hearing protection you were wearing for this shoot, and how well you liked it? Sure looked like a ton of fun too!

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

I've been using the Walker Silencer R600 for about a year now. I really enjoy them for muzzleloading. They are small enough that they don't bump into the stock when I shoot. They are electronic too so I can hear my buds talk and they cut out the shots. Things I don't like: Charging can be finicky, I have to double and triple check that they are charging when I put them back into the case. They don't have any buttons, the outside of each bud is a "touch pad". My hands are rough and calloused, so sometimes it's difficult to turn them on.

[@joeeckley5272]

@@ILoveMuzzleloading Thanks so much for taking the time for such an honest and complete review.

[@OMGWUNSIU]

I tried some of those that go inside the ear canal, but they bother my ears and can be quite painful. Not sure if there area y that are easier on the ears. I’m currently using the old fashioned ones that go over the ear.

[@brokentoe570]

Eathen, next time the loser buys lunch at the club house.

[@jamesgarland4990]

All I saw was a bunch of fllnches and lack of follow through. But at least you all were having fun.
