Taught by Jim & June McWirt and the SLSC Smoke-Pole Shooters
In this Blackpowder Introductory Class, we will bring the kids in and let them see the gun layout, do short safety talk and then go to the range and shooting until everyone got a chance to shoot some (i.e. until we run out of ammo or it gets dark).
Then we'll come back to the clubhouse for a short seminar on the evolution of muzzle loading guns and black powder.
The guns that will be on display and covered are:
1. Matchlock
2. Dog Lock
3. 1717 French Marine
4. 1770 period Brown Bess
5. Jaeger (1770 period)
6. Trade gun (late 1700 period)
7. Transitional period flintlock, 1750 period
8. Scaled down version of J. P. Beck Lebanon rifle, 1765-1770 period.
9. Golden Age period Peter Neihard copy 1780s
10. Full stock Lehman trade rifle.
11. Parker Hale 2 band rifled musket (1860 period)
12. Hopkins & Allen buggy rifle. (1870)
Wow! What a cool mix of firearms!!!
