Yeah, blowing down the barrel has been done a very long time and it's sort of traditional with older hunters and shooters still, here and in the old country. The video is rather entertaining and I loved the fact that some of them were trying to look the part as well. The 'snake' type shot bag with the "Irish" type scoop was indeed interesting, there's even a version that was a double type with one shot side and one powder side with the different type scoops required by both versions, powder & shot...or at least there was one available recently. I'd have to check to see if that style is still listed anywhere.
Especially liked the comment from the 'hunt master', or whatever they called him, that went, "...more shots than birds in the bag". Absolutely true with muzzleloading and even more frustratingly true, even with modern shotguns, when chasing doves!! :shocked2: Enjoyable video none the less, especially with England's restrictive gun laws. I give it a :thumbsup:!
