Loading and shooting TVM's 20 ga. fowler with round ball or bird shot
« on: August 30, 2012, 05:47:30 AM »
This is a two part YouTube series about how to load and shoot a smoothbore flintlock fowling piece with either round balls or with shot.


Episode 1, shows how to load TVM's fowler with round balls using an historically accurate method. And episode 2 shows the procedure for loading shot.


Let me know what you think..

Not bad, you'll catch flack over on TMF but all in all a good rendition of  original traditional loading.
Kinda skipped the first 4 minutes of each as I'm an old hand at the stuff, but again  good video's for the complete novice.

Why do you think I'll catch flak?

Too basic?

I guess I was wrong, been there and read it all.
I figured many would begin to explain the use of more modern wad and lubes,, forgetting that it is a primitive demonstration.
I personally enjoy many of your videos, I've found them very infomative as I've just recently begun C&B Revolver shooting

“Ain't this somethin'? I told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. Mother Gue said to me; ‘Make your life go here, son. Here's where the people is. Them mountains is for Indians and wild men.’  "Mother Gue", I says "the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world," and by God, I was right. Keep your nose in the wind and your eye along the skyline.”
