[@TheArmourersBench]

Always enjoy these Rob, thank you.

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Thank Matt!

[@engine4403]

Thank

[@peternicol3439]

That Thunderous Downpour was obviously because you let those Jerry Weapons participate, what next the Italians ???????

[@myparceltape1169]

I came in from the garden because the rain got heavy. In order to see others getting the same treatment.

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Hahahaha!

[@johnfisk811]

Splendid work Rob and the other participants. Well done Richard and Linda too.

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Indeed, without their hospitality, it'd be a non-starter...

[@nickyminter4271]

Blessings from Australia. I look forward to this event every year . Thank you Rob and company.🙏✊

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Cheers!

[@dermotrooney9584]

Sparkling! Missing both the Alberta skies and the crack of proper old rifles. ❤

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Twas a grand time!

[@Schlachtschule]

Marvelous! I so enjoy watching these every year, thank you for sharing.

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Very kind!

[@gino7444]

You guys are a jolly bunch ... loved watching this video, thanks!

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

We try!

[@polymathart]

10:39 Taken aback. My high school Latin teacher dressed the same way 😅

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Haha!

[@robertsolomielke5134]

TY. A nice quality time at the historical range, but for the Mauser ;). All else looks accurate, and a fun couple days.

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

No kidding!

[@salty4496]

Nice to see you posting again Rob. Well done to all the particpants and helpers/ supporters :)

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Cheers!

[@kearnsey64]

Always look forward to seeing this! Thanks Rob!

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Cheers!

[@stevenveltrie1868]

Love it. Great to see people competing and having fun.

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

"Competing" in only the loosest sense of the word.... competing against oneself, yes...

[@OperatorJackYT]

Man I grew up with this channel, such good nostalgia :)

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Cheers!

[@keithagn]

Great Shoot! Thank you, Rob! Regards from the Left Coast of Canada formally known as British Columbia

Ah, modern Geography lessons.

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Cheers!

[@jonnyboy7941]

welcome to Alberta! If you don't like the weather just wait 10 minutes.

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Haha! no kidding.

[@DaltonPettit]

Excellent as always Rob

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Thank you!

[@M.M.83-U]

A very nice video, as every year. The effect of the volleys is allway so interesting, even in this reduced scale format.

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

I know of no other location/event where live fire volleys are shot regularly in actual practices.... we are quite lucky...

[@Everythingblackpowder]

Looks like a great time!

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Oh, it was!

[@andrewherbert9938]

Excellent video as always Rob , was lucky enough to be at North Coates in the Uk a few weeks back and meet a couple of your participants there , what a privilege and what friendly, helpful chaps they were , top blokes

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Great! In talking to Nick and Martyn, they both had a great time.

[@lib556]

Great fun. Keeping history alive.

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Trying hard to!

[@AdelaideRegiment]

It's me! :)

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Yesssss! A fine example indeed!

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

Outstanding gents!!!

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Cheers!

[@MrChrisStarr]

An annual favourite! Many thanks Rob.

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Thank you!

[@revy1063]

Looks like such a fantastic day, next time you should ask Ian (Forgotten weapons) to see if he would join you guys bet he would come in full kit.

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

It was a great day for sure!

[@klmscott12]

Looks like you all had a great time!

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

We did!

[@ducthman4737]

79th Highlander

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Yes, in various forms....

[@ilfarmboy]

dangerous group of shooters / interesting to still find original era cartridges / did the downpour affect the loose powder? / tough bunch to keep going in that wet weather / sideburns look good on you

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Dangerous to the targets.... Bill as about 200 rounds worth..... No, the rain didn't affect anything other than seeking shelter.... Cheers!

[@properjob2311]

great fun

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

It was!

[@ethankaryadi37]

Hi Rob. I was wondering if you could do a video showcasing the terminal ballistic effects of your muzzleloaders on ballistics gel. I’ve yet to see what Baker rifle rounds do to them. Also at around 7:48, I’m sure you meant to say “Snider-verse.” That’s how the folks of nowadays are reading it 😆. Take care.

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

I have planned to do such a series but am mulling over investing in the appropriate camera set-up to do it justice...

[@JenniferinIllinois]

The 12th Alberta Volunteers leave no Frenchman standing. 😉

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Haha! All in good fun!

[@robertstallard7836]

The smaller charging Frenchman targets seemed to explode quite dramatically on occasion - and, looking more closely, some seemed to have horizontal crease at the mid point when you were inspecting them. Were the constructed in some special way to react when hit?

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

It's just some lead splash caused by the contours on the face of the plate...

[@polymathart]

Hope to see you in one of Ian McCollum’s videos one day. Or Ian McCollum in one of your videos. Gun Jesus meets Specifically British Guns Jesus.

[@ES90344]

He's already been in/on vids with Bloke and C&Rsenal. He's never done anything with Ian?

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Ian is a very busy man.... BML is small beer, comparatively...

[@milosjanos5058]

Great!

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Cheers!

[@ditzydoo4378]

What! did the poor, poor Coffee pot ever d-... 0~0 aahhh! I get it now, not a Tea pot. ^~^ another volley if you please.

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Haha!

[@stupendousdave]

How do those Pukka snider bullets compare to your usual load that you jave been using?

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

They seemed to be quite prevalent this year... Some success... Richard (who they are named after) uses his original (with a small hollow point) and Martyn was using his version (with a solid nose)

[@peterparsons7141]

Well done!

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Thank you! Great fun!

[@polymathart]

Do you own any trials, prototype, or unadopted rifles you might cover one day?

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Only if The Royal Armouries is going to lend me some! 😀

[@polymathart]

@@britishmuzzleloaders I heard they have a box magazine Martini Henry 👀

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

@@polymathart Yes I've held it! It's not at all practical, but an interesting invention indeed.

[@vincetytler6175]

Fun

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Yes.

[@davidbrennan660]

I must have been a bind to attend this gig… the putting the worlds to rights when the rifles are stacked and light refreshments were the order of the day….Doubly so.

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Indeed!

[@johnnyholland8765]

That looks like too much fun and period correct too. Love some of the outfits. With the gun laws in Canada I am surprised you can shoot at all. I know a guy a young fellow who moved from Australia to the US because of his love for firearms. He couldn't believe the freedoms we have here even with all our laws.

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

We make do...

[@justdustino1371]

Well, only Santa Claus and the French wear red trousers!

[@maxd7842]

Why did they shoot on the french targets?

[@robertsolomielke5134]

@@maxd7842 Perhaps the most likely foe, when many of the rifles were made. Or the red pants thing ? which is sometimes Scottish too.

[@justdustino1371]

@@maxd7842 I tend to believe that the targets were Santa Claus caricatures and our Canadian colleagues hate Father Christmas!

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Haha!

Thought Canada was gun free. Evidently not all guns are band.

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

[@Draftsman17]

Man, this year’s shoot looks like it was a blast (pun intended). I did have one I guess question. I recently acquired myself a Mark4 Martini-Henry and was looking to purchase a mold from Martyn at Xringservices but have gotten no response as of over a month from email being sent. Do you perhaps have any insight into if me might be swamped with orders or something like?

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Try him again, or on FB. He does get busy from time to time.

[@ericsemple4820]

Where did this shoot take place?

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

In Alberta...

[@olympicblackpowderrifles3155]

Where are the trapdoors!?!

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

?........ What's the name of the video?

[@olympicblackpowderrifles3155]

Just wondering if any members brought a trapdoor rifle or two to the event

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

@@olympicblackpowderrifles3155 No. They show up at the American Militaria Forum Alberta Shoot.... 😀

What flag is that flying under the Brit flag?

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

East India Company.

I am going to give you TRUE WORDS of WISDOM........get some YOUNG BLOOD in YOUR sport !!!!!! I have seen way to many Clubs DIE prematurely because of this. 10 years ago we had 42 members in our Cow Boy shooting club,.....now we have only 4 left !! OPEN your door to YOUNGER folks or your going to meet the same FATE ! Lets stop these sports from fading away into history ! I warned our club many times, and yet they didnt listen....WILL YOU ??

This isn't a club or some kind of organized group... It's a bunch of friends.....
