Thanks for watching my friend....

I am almost 72 years old and I have found that there is very little worth running for anymore. More power to you, but that is one challenge I will never take. Great video and a lot of fun.

I'm headed to 76 with COPD and that almost killed me just watching.

Wow.....when I get there, I'll be done running too..if NOT sooner! Thanks for watching my friend.

Great video, keep them coming!! I started shooting black powder last year, and it is definitely addicting. One of my favorite black powder channels.

[@blackpowdermaniacshooter]

She did...you can barely hear her in the back ground. Wish I put that audio on this video. It was funny..!

[@terryqueen3233]

Wellmark you really took a chance on that last reload you've always said don't reload from the horn but I must say good job

[@blackpowdermaniacshooter]

Yessir....I was trying to demo what it would be like with one's feet to the fire...!! Thanks my friend..

[@jamesvatter5729]

I thought that last bear charge was the demise of the BPMS!

[@jerryakins1622]

Me too ! 😂🤣🥲

[@blackpowdermaniacshooter]

It just about won....!!

[@jerryakins1622]

Mark you have outdone yourself ! I just loved it ! Great job 👏 I laughed out loud till my wife started giving me the odd looks. (She didn’t know what I was watching cause I use head phones). This would be better left to the young and athletic. But you entertained us very well ! However the don’t try this at home was good advice, because we don’t even want to consider all the safety rules that were obliterated ! However it gives you a sense of how it really was back in the day ! Thanks for the vid it was great ! Blessings ! 👍😃

[@blackpowdermaniacshooter]

I bet you bride was shaking your head. You know how those black powder wives are, they think we are crazy. Shhhh....about those safety rules...LOL Don't tell anyone about them..!!

[@TR_Swan]

Years ago I spent 6 months training for a rendevous that never happened. It got me into flintlocks, throwing hawk and knife. I love doing that stuff. Its always exciting when a flintlock goes bang!

[@outdoorlife5396]

I have a question if you would answer it. If you are shooting a Hawkins or a Kentucky rifle in a battle, like the Last of the Mohicans, were the British get ambushed by the Indians. Do you just drop the ball in the barrel and keep the rifle elevated to keep the second shot from rolling out? I have a traditional BP that is percussion, I have often thought about how our fore fathers did it. I know why they were good with knives and tomahawks, lol. Thank you for your input.

[@blackpowdermaniacshooter]

@@outdoorlife5396 Yes... when your life is in danger, you don't care about patching or safety rules. You will do what I performed in this video at @10:05. Hurry up & get the firearm loaded to take out your enemy. Thanked for asking & watching.

[@blackpowdermaniacshooter]

I wish I could have tried this 30 years ago. I probably would not be so worn out trying this feat!

[@TR_Swan]

@@outdoorlife5396 I never saw the film. What you say kind of conflicts in my mid. I have shot a musket (smooth bore) that I had to tilt the muzzle skyward to keep the ball in place as we not patching it. Had I tilted the muzzle the ball would have rolled out. My TC Hawken (which is a short stock Pennsylvania style) is a rifle, hence the rifling holds the ball in place. I have never loaded two balls as I consider that wasteful.

[@outdoorlife5396]

@@TR_Swan I was talking about the second shot, you are reloading, when in a fight. Like when they attacked Boonsboro, Morgan's Riflemen etc. I was just thinking without the patch, you would damage the rifling with the second shot. It's like in the Patriot, he might have got that done with smoothbore, but I don't see a rifle doing it.

[@allenpippin3799]

That was awesome to watch. I really enjoy watching your videos.

[@blackpowdermaniacshooter]

Thanks my friend....I have a bunch of fun wacky ones to post soon...

[@mistermatt9056]

Your last reload for British Billy was very fast! well done!

[@blackpowdermaniacshooter]

Thanks my friend....

[@Flaky1916]

Imagine how fast a young ranger back in the day who had to run and reload for a living could do it.

[@blackpowdermaniacshooter]

I would have LOVED to try this task 30 years ago. I just can't run that fast anymore...LOL I'm sure the time would have been much shorter. Thanks for watching.

[@antonandreyevichstepanov4131]

I still remember your first attempt from 6 years ago, your reload time was about 30 seconds, i guess greater age really doesn't help do such thing better. In any case it is still very good perfomance, a bit exercise is never bad for anyone :)

[@blackpowdermaniacshooter]

Not in my case...I'm getting slower all the time!! LOL

[@mikeproffitt8600]

That was great,you come up with something cool every week, thank you

[@blackpowdermaniacshooter]

Stick around...I have some really weird shooting videos to post soon.

[@mullisoutdoors]

[@wish2fish37]

Just found your channel and it is interesting.Never saw a run and gun flinter video..Question ,have you ever made a video discussing possible differences in accuracy when say just using a spit patch or liquid patch lube which I think is popular at the woods walk type shoots vs using a bore butter or bear grease / pre lubed patch etc type lubed patch which is what is used in most hunting situations.Currently I shoot a TC Renegade with a Green mountain 1:70 twist barrle.Hard time dialing it in.thanks

[@blackpowdermaniacshooter]

I've not done any videos with what you're asking. I need to put a video together with the things you've mentioned above. I did one last year shooting with no patching, actually using the palm of my hand. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZDMpmOQoNt3fLM

[@thomashoward4944]

Hey Mark can you use black horn powder in a side lock rifle

[@blackpowdermaniacshooter]

Blackhorn 209 was specifically designed for modern in-line muzzleloaders with sealed ignition systems using standard 209 shotshell primers. I would check with your rifle’s manufacturer for compatibility because I wouldn't use black horn in a side lock. It is too expensive ( $ 79.00 per 8 oz container here in Kentucky ) and real black powder is much better. Thanks for asking.

[@hawkenrifles]

Hi Mark. Veo que sigues divirtiéndote con tus armas de avancarga de Pedersoli. Yo procuro hacer loismo. Saludos desde España

[@blackpowdermaniacshooter]

Sí... sigue siendo mi arma de gurú para vídeos de disparos extraños. ¡¡Es un verdadero caballo de batalla...!!

[@PossumSausage]

When reloading on the run, are you priming the pan before charging the barrel? I realize this is more dangerous, but it appears thats what you were doing and I makes sense with the unpatched round ball so you don't risk it rolling down the barrel while priming the pan. Mel Gibson made it look so easy lol

[@blackpowdermaniacshooter]

Yes...priming the pan first ensures the gun will work while running and reloading and it gets loaded quicker. Wetzel, Kenton & others didn't worry about dangerous loading procedures when their lives were in danger. Thanks for watching.
