A little something for the Matchlock shooters

[Slowpoke]

Don't get to excited :rotf: I didn't fall down and bonk my head causing me to want one. It's just a little clip I pulled off a larger video that I thought you'd like to see. Just click on the blue underlined thingy.

Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly happened here? I see the matchlock fly out of his hand, but i'm unsure of what went wrong. Sorry, i'm not very familiar with matchlocks :redface: :haha:

:hmm: To my untrained eye that looked like "The Mother of All Hangfires" :rotf: :rotf:

I think that guys "Follow Through" was a little Rusty.THat was Hilarious! :rotf:

bahahaha :rotf: That's Gold !!

I think the clip came off America's Funniest Home Videos of something. The gun going off was accidental, what I thought was funny was that white ruffly thing he had around his neck getting knock catewampus (SP)

 

[David Teague]

He must have had that way overcharged as a blank load or worse... with a heavy charge with ball as that was recoil (and a slipery breastplate) that caused him to lose it...

I'm glad I'm not the only one with bad range days... :redface:

 

[Wes/Tex]

Looked like a perfect example of "loose screw behind the wheel", though we may have to change it to "matchy"...also he just made dip-stick!! :grin: :haha: :haha:

 

[Leonredbeard]

I looked at it three more times. He pulled the trigger twice and then took his hand off the wrist of the gonne and was bringing it down when it fired. I looks like he was startled so badly that he threw the gonne away. great clip though. Who was the brave peson with the camera? :youcrazy:
God bless.

:hmm: I know that wasn't exactly a set of cross-sticks that he was using..............but you don't suspose that he was shooting a target to enter into the "Members Shooting Contest" for March/April? :rotf:

[magnus wiberg]

If that was not a blank load.....
I´m sure glad I was not behind the camera!

 

[marwat06]

OK, now I feel a little better about "just breaking my ramrod" :rotf:

Seriously ... I just hope the wasn't part of some demo he was doing for people ... hate to have that as the image of Traditional Shooting in people's minds.
