Flintlock shooterama !

[nessy357]

Anyone interested in trying out a flintlock are welcome to come out and join Steppenwolf, Mooncoon, and I at the next Nanaimo gunshow at the Nanaimo Fish and Game club, Feb 20th.
We can use the rifle range to try out a number of different flinters, rifles , smoothbores RB or shot ,even have some L/handed guns.
I can also bring a kids .45 rifle, that can be shot with 10 grns for the young ones.
2 Paws trading will be at the show also, if you need to re-stock any BP supplies.
Cheers nessy.

I expect there to be close to 30 tables in the gun show and hopefully more. If anyone is looking for a table, email me and I can forward you on to the person who handles the bookings.

The shooting will be outside on the range to encourage and hopefully hook in some new shooters to muzzle loading

cheers mooncoon

Great idea. As a very new flintlock shooter I can whole heartitly attest to the fact that it is as addictive as Tim Horton's coffee!
I can't imagine how much fun it would be in abscence of the newby FTFs. (actually these FTFs cured a minor but long standing flinch so I can't complain).

I bet you get at least a few folks hooked on the fun.

Stupid big country of ours... If only I was a few thousand K's closer

 

[nessy357]

My son tells me he's bringing a couple of buddies, so there's a couple more
Don't forget the gun show also.
Cheers nessy

 

[nessy357]

Anyone shoot left handed, or anyone bringing a youngster, I have kids rifle I'll be bringing.
I'll bring some Foxfire priming powder, only need 1/2 a grain, and touches off with lightning speed, ignites comparable to a percussion , Tried to capture the speed in a video.

Cheers nessy

 

[mooncoon]

I believe there are 35 tables sold at the gunshow now.
