Flintlock Winter Woods, Montana

[@toddduncan4071]

Please never stop these wonderful videos! We must continue to preserve our community and history.

[@bosse641]

So much fun. The America I love. A remnant. God bless and help them all.

[@1holyblack]

Just love the videos.... its like zen meets firearms... a super nice reprieve from the modern tactical world. Hearkens one back to a simpler and harder time in our history....

[@ericschneider7294]

Yep, this where it all began! Purely methodical essence of happiness. Build your shot, take your shot, place your shot.

[@YankeeWoodcraft]

When it came time for me to take my hunting to the next level with a more traditional firearm, the choice was between a percussion & flintlock .50 cal rifle. I went with the flintlock because it was going to force me to become a more perfecting (not perfect) hunter. I had to do everything right for the science of that flint sparking that pan to ignite that load to go off to take that deer or bear with one well placed shot. I got everything a little late this muzzleloader season, but my practice shots were within an inch of bullseye at 25 yards. Can't complain about that. I'm hoping to only get better over the year until next Autumn. I did get to go out there "without" wearing camo or high tech materials. Just me, my possibles bag, canvas pants, boots, a henley, an old wool brim hat and a shearling coat. Not exactly period correct, but it felt incredible being out there in regular clothing pitting my skills against the deer.

Thank you for posting, I enjoyed it!

[@TurkeyCreek-ek8mj]

Thanks Denny! Been going through withdrawal waiting on another great video! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Would have all loved to have been there!

[@13thBear]

Gawd, I wish I was 20-30 years younger, I'd give black powder and mountain man reenacting a try. This looks like so much fun! I'm envious of these good ol' boys having fun in the snow.

Man there's just nothing like shooting a smoke pole.

[@Justashooter]

Miss seeing your IG post. As the leaves begin to change and that crisp air brushes my cheek it has me wanting to be in the woods with a flintlock chasing gods creatures to feed my family through the coming winter

[@johncampbell8725]

Hate to ask dumb questions, but what does FVML stand for ? Something Valley Muzzleloaders ? I love these videos ! Is this channel a newer version of the former Denny Ducet channel ?

[@AndyTheCornbread]

I believe FVML stands for Flathead Valley Muzzleloaders. I recognized a friend in this video and he builds muzzle loaders up in the Sommers, MT area so I am thinking this must be the club he belongs to up there called that. I came across this video by chance in my youtube suggested videos so I was quite surprised to see somebody I knew in it.

[@FolkFirearmsCollective]

Like the modern gun industry, it’s over. I have them as tools and still enjoy them, however the modern firearms community is not worth a single synapse of my thought, or calorie of my effort. I’ll leave it to the velcro bro clowns and gear queers to entertain that arena. Keep a 6920 and G19 on your lap at all times.

Lived in a tipi, sewed my rawhide soled moccasins with sinew, cooked with dutch ovens. Cooked rabbit, squirrel, fresh caught, trout over an open fire. Waterboarded the chipmunks to tell me where the deer are and shot tuns of lead and kegs of black powder. Do it all over again, twice to be around people like this...

They are the best. Modern guns although a necessary tool, are boring and ugly by comparison.

[@Bayan1905]

The longer I live, the more I realize that there's nothing that sounds better than a black powder long gun. No matter how advanced firearms get, that "crack" of a muzzleloading gun just can't be beat for the sound, the smell and the experience.

[@FolkFirearmsCollective]

There’s nothing else like it.

[@phillollard6965]

A bygone age , black powder flintlocks, ,never fired one , would love to , but here in the U.K. ,it's very restrictive laws make a meeting like this impossible, but the outfits ,colours, and sheer pleasure , you are all having , beautifully filmed , with such a mixed group . Is a pleasure to watch . 🇬🇧

[@stevec5338]

No matter how many times I watch this & other videos of yours. I never grow tired of them. I can smell wood smoke & sulphur in the air!!!!!

[@johngreene7928]

Love this, love this, love this. No gung ho, hi capacity, bullet drop compensation, camo pattern bullshit and the only tactical thing about this was to stand behind the rifles and not in front of them!!!!

[@FolkFirearmsCollective]

I escaped that world of velcro bro’s and tactitard egos. This is a much more calming and enjoyable environment for me. I believe in the ownership and employment of modern firearms without restrictions, for they are tools necessary to preserve a free people.

[@jordannewsom4578]

This video certainly looks like a good time had by all. It takes me back to the 70s and 80s...and, if we had had pretty gals at our shoots, I'll bet we'd still be gatherin' today!

[@MrKodyJ]

Now that looked like a fine day of making smoke.

[@DeadBaron]

3:34 even if a firearm is not loaded, it is always loaded. Been drilled into me since I could understand basic English from my Marine father. Even if whatever he's doing is safe and historically accurate, holy hell, that looks so wrong to me...

[@FolkFirearmsCollective]

I’m a most ardent enforcer of firearms safety practices, however these only go bang once, and it’s common to blow those embers out and clean out the touch hole as well before loading up with fresh powder or priming that pan. We all have a 2 lb powder charge bomb slung over the shoulder, some prime straight from the horn, a lingering ember not blown out could cause a mess.

[@DeadBaron]

@@FolkFirearmsCollective yup and it's a stupid thing for me to dislike, just been drilled into me for almost 30 years now. Like teaching someone thalassophobic to swim, doesn't ease how they feel about deep water.

[@waksupi]

@@DeadBaron, he was fouling the barrel before loading, pointing downrange, which happens to be the side of a mountain in this case. Better stay east of the Missouri where it's safe.

Fantastic video, fitting music, and awesome firearms. Looks like an awesome way to spend a day in the woods.

[@jamescooper2618]

I'd like to tell the smart old-timers that bouncing the ramrod 6 or 8 times does nothing for seating the ball. If you know your gun, you know when the ball is seated. All the bouncing does is beat up the ball and beat up your ramrod. Something you may not want to do if you're out with just the one rod. Unless you like having to carve a new rod and shoot out the end of the old one.

[@waksupi]

Thanks for another great video! It was good to see you, and more new faces this weekend. We may be the only club in the country that continues to grow at a rapid pace! I saw that "first time flintlock shooter" grin on Alinas face! ;o)

Shooting in slow motion. That looked like a fun day. I am a disabled veteran and my hands are pretty badly gnarled. I still have both hands and all my digits, but they don't work too well. I really cannot shoot muzzleloaders - I can't get them loaded. The closest I get to black powder shooting is Springfield trapdoors. But, when there is a local black powder meet, I show up with a Springfield and put some lead down range. Shooting, food and fellowship. A great way to spend a day.

[@jasondaniel918]

@J Calhoun Thank you for the thoughtful suggestion. My issues are dexterity, strength, a congenital problem and a motor/neural malfunction owing to brain damage. - Yeah, Uncle Sam messed me up really well! I have fired flintlocks, but someone had to load them for me. I think it speaks very well of the black powder community that there are people willing to inconvenience themselves to allow me to participate in the fun.
