Another new old guy from WA

Hello,
I finally got myself signed up.
I've been teaching people to shoot modern rifles and talking about April 19th, 1775 for a few years now with Project Appleseed and decided I needed to see if I could learn to shoot like our forefathers.
I appreciate the knowledge you all are willing to share here.

Welcome to the gang! By one of those odd coincidences, I was just posting to one of the builders who are going to do some of the Dutch muskets imported for British colonial troops during the early/mid 18th century. He was commenting about how they could fit into North American impressions for historical and shooting groups. I was pointing out the later models would require bayonet lugs since the Massachusetts militia law for 1775 required muskets with iron/steel ramrods, bayonets fitted to the gun and "a hundred of buckshot", among other things. Certainly tosses out the old cherished idea of Minutemen sniping redcoats with their "rifles"!

Rather a funny twist. Please feel free to jump in with questions or comments any time. There's decades of knowledge here but we're always willing to learn something new. :thumbsup:
