Today I'm covering a much-requested topic, basic Flintlock Rifle loading and shooting. This video isn't everything you need to know or will learn while shooting muzzleloaders, but it is enough to get you started having fun.
In this video, I'll cover Flintlock loading, cleaning, shooting, and safety checking to give you an overview of the processes you'll go through when shooting a flintlock muzzleloading rifle.
I'm planning on making a similar video for percussion rifles, revolvers, and inline muzzleloaders. If you would like to see a particular one first, let me know in the comments.
