Running While Reloading Flintlocks - a necessary survival technique...

[B P Maniac Shooter]

This was a necessary technique for survival "Back in the Day".....
There is some running while reloading 2 different flintlocks in this one.
Note to myself: I'm getting a little too old for such fun!
Enjoy:

Thanks, Mark. Never a dull moment in your videos, and this one was a lot of work! Way to go.

 

[Rancocas]

Enjoyed that. Really like the charging bear target.

 

[TarponStalker]

Great video Marc. I'm winded just watching.
I'd love to see the look on your doctor's face when he asks you what you do for exercise!

 

[Salty Cracker]

Dandy video. I like the charging bear also. At least you weren't running with scissors. Momma always said that was not safe.

Having your partner there with you was probably a good idea!!!!!

Just in case you keeled over!!!

If I had to run to survive I would be one dead mutha’

 

[Comfortably_Numb]

I don't run anywhere anymore. That's why I carry semi autos.

Awesome, keep making these videos!!

Every time I take my 1860 Colt to the range some yahoo has to tell me Im using it dangerously.
Tho Im using it exactly the way the 1866 order of arms book says to.

So running and loading HAS to be unsafe. Think Ill try in this summer.

Enjoyed that, Mark. I learn new things every time I watch one of your videos.

At 78. with totally messed up joints and such, running is off the table entirely. But it's fun to watch others!

Mark. I forwarded this video to a friend who is not a muzzleloader. He asks; "What is that lime green three ringed thing in his hat?" I would also like to know.

At my age and shape I'd be dead!

"What is that lime green three ringed thing in his hat?" I would also like to know.

Every time some type of silly fad comes along....I take advantage of it....with the use of black powder.
In this case....I tried my best to make one of those silly fidget spinner thingy's spin using a smoke pole.
Like those fellars that cuts a playing card in half displaying it on their hats,
well, I figured why not a fidget spinner??
Below is the proof from one of my early "crude" videos from 6 years ago...Enjoy:

Don't think I'll ever be in that much of a hurry.

I can always count on a new BPMS video to brighten my day. Keep it up Mark.

 

[Rendezvous Valley Trading]

Sorry. You lost my attention with the word running.

 

[Togo]

lol! I got winded watching you run through the tall grass.

 

[laagamer]

Oh, wow! I've seen you on YouTube before. Nice to see a new video!

 

[mikesto44]

Fun video but I carry my semi auto every time I go to Wal mart. Way to many psychos and weirdos.
Mark you'd have to be faster to survive their...lol
