4-H Shooting Sports an Introduction to Muzzleloading Firearms
4-H Shooting Sports An Introduction to Muzzleloading Firearms A buckskin-clad hunter in a skunk skin hat slips quickly along a woodland trail. Suddenly he freezes, shoulders his flintlock rifle, and fires. As the cloud of white smoke clears, he notes the bullet has hit well. No, he’s not a frontiersman of long ago; he is a member of an emerging group of modern shooters and hunters— those who prefer to use muzzleloading firearms in the pursuit of their sport. American history is deeply intertwined with the development of firearms, and improved muzzleloading arms were key elements in the nation’s develop - ment. The West, land west of the Appalachian Mountains, was opened by hardy frontiersmen carrying Kentucky (or Pennsylvania) rifles. Their long, light, and accurate rifles were adequate when wildlife up to the size of white-tailed deer and bears were staples of the frontier diet. Those rifles were inadequate for the Louisiana expedition led by Lewis and Clark. Bison and grizzly bears required heavier loads with larger bullets, and horseback travel made a shorter rifle desir - able. The Hawken plains rifle answered that need and served the mountainmen who explored the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains. Only when breechloading arms were developed in the middle of the 19th cen - tury did muzzleloaders begin to decline. The superior loading speed and conven - ience of the breechloader made them more desirable. Now, a century later, shoot - ers are rediscovering muzzleloading arms—reliving history and having fun. Let’s look at these arms and how to use them. Objectives To help students understand and experience: • Muzzleloading terminology and names • Black powder and lead balls • Equipment required • Additional safety procedures involved in black powder handling and muzzle - loader shooting • Loading and firing procedures and principles • Cleaning procedures Teaching Time 2 hours (varies with number of students, instructors, and firearms) Materials You also need a short and long starter, normally As any muzzleloading shooter knows, there are combined in one tool.

A Short History of Firearms
Foundation for European Societies of Arms Collectors A short history of firearms Prepared for FESAC by: , ing. Jaś van Driel FARE consultants P.O. box 22276 3003 DG Rotterdam the Netherlands [email protected] Firearms, a short history The weapon might well be man’s earliest invention. Prehistoric man picked up a stick and lashed out at something or someone. This happened long before man learned to harness fire or invented the wheel. The invention of the weapon was to have a profound impact on the development of man. It provided the third and fourth necessities of life, after air and water: food and protection. It gave prehistoric man the possibility to hunt animals that were too big to catch by hand and provided protection from predators, especially the greatest threat of all: his fellow man. The strong man did not sit idly while intelligent man used the weapon he invented to match his brute force and soon came up with a weapon of his own, thus forcing intelligent man to come up with something better. The arms race had started. This race has defined the history of mankind. To deny the role that weapons in general and firearms in particular have played in deciding the course of history is like denying history itself. The early years During the Stone Age axes, knives and spears appeared and around 6000 BC the bow made its debut. This was the first weapon, after the throwing spear, that could be used at some distance from the intended target, though possibly slings also were used to hurl stones.

Sighting with a Muzzleloading Rifle
North Dakota 4-H Sighting with a Muzzleloading Rifle Muzzleloading projectiles function at a lower velocity and have a higher trajectory curve than modern ammunition. To properly use a muzzleloader, the shooter must recognize the range and load limitations of the firearm and compensate for these handicaps by improving his or her personal skill. If the rifle is to be used for hunting, a good deal of practice at various ranges is required. The average deer is not a very large animal. By using the recommended target size and height you will learn to estimate range and compensate for bullet drop. (Information on deer anatomy and sighting is below.) Follow steps 1, 2 and 3 below. After you have determined exactly how far your bullet or ball will drop at these various ranges, make up the practice target show at left. Use this target for practice before hunting deer. You should be able to place the projectile in the cross (or within 3" of it) at all three ranges before hunting game. Do not attempt shots that are beyond your practiced and acquired skill. Skill with a muzzleloader can only be acquired by constant practice with a given load and firearm. Vary the range is indicated on this chart so that you know exactly how high to hold to compensate for the bullet's drop. Never attempt to hold at some undefined point above the back line of the animal (top edge of target). Such shooting is dependent on luck, not skill. Steps to Construct Your Target 1. Adjust rifle sights to hit "dead-on" the point of aim at 50 yards.

2021 Muzzleloader Season - DRAFT
2021 Muzzleloader Season - DRAFT Any license and permit that was valid for deer or elk through the general big game season will be valid for that species during the traditional muzzleloader season that runs December 11–19, 2021 per the conditions of that license and permit and regulations pertaining to the hunting district(s) in which the license-permit is valid. With the following exceptions, all other general big game season regulations apply, including in weapons restricted areas. Conditions: Where existing approved seasons are in place that overlap the traditional muzzleloader season, such as elk shoulder seasons, late white-tailed deer seasons and lion seasons, the regulations associated with those approved seasons remain in place. Therefore, there can be overlap between the existing approved season and muzzleloader season (e.g., cow elk only in a shoulder season hunting district using rifles, but bull elk could be taken with traditional muzzleloader in that same hunting district with valid license and permit). Department staff may initiate game damage and management hunts following established policies and using modern firearms, during the traditional muzzleloader season. Many Wildlife Management Areas close on December 1 to protect wintering wildlife. Traditional muzzleloader hunting on those WMAs will not be allowed. Motorized access on many federal lands is closed as of December 1. Hunters must comply with land management agency travel plans. Muzzleloader hunters must use plain lead projectiles and a muzzleloading rifle that is charged with loose black powder, loose pyrodex, or an equivalent loose black powder substitute, and ignited by a flintlock, wheel lock, matchlock, or percussion mechanism using a percussion or musket cap.

2020 Firearm/Muzzleloader Deer Harvest Reporting & Hunting Regulations Information Sheet
State of Illinois www.dnr.illinois.gov Illinois Department of Natural Resources 2020 FIREARM/MUZZLELOADER DEER HARVEST REPORTING & HUNTING REGULATIONS INFORMATION SHEET Successful deer hunters must register (report) their harvest by 10 p.m. on the same calendar day the deer was taken by calling the toll-free telephone check-in system at 1-866-452-4325 (1-866-IL-CHECK) or by accessing the online check-in system as below: www.dnr.illinois.gov/Hunting/Pages/HarvestReporting.aspx OR www.il.wildlifelicense.com/harvestReport/harvestReport.php (For your convenience, this information is also printed on the front of your deer permit.) Note to cell phone users: The most common reason hunters are unable to complete their harvest report is because of a poor cell phone connection. Once you have properly tagged your deer, wait until you are out of the woods and receive a clear, strong cell phone connection before placing your call. TAGGING: The temporary harvest tag (leg tag) shall be attached and properly sealed immediately upon kill and before the deer is moved, transported or field dressed. No person shall leave any deer that has been killed without properly attaching the temporary harvest tag (leg tag) to the deer in the manner prescribed on the permit. HARVEST REPORTING: Hunters must register (report) their harvest by 10 p.m. on the same calendar day the deer was taken. When reporting, hunters will be asked a series of questions to help biologists manage Illinois’ deer population (additional information below). Before checking in your deer, please look over the questions listed on the back of your permit and be prepared to answer them.

Assault on Fort Granby May 15, 1781
Vol. 4 No. 2.1_____________________________________________________ __April – June 2007 Assault on Fort Granby May 15, 1781 Fort Granby was built by the British and Loyalists around the Kershaw and Chesnut c. 1770 trading post on the western bluff overlooking the Congaree River. Located in an area historically called “the Congarees” which hosted two pre-revolutionary forts and trading posts dating back to 1715. German, Swiss and Scot-Irish immigrants established small farms in this area and Granby would later be the leading town for many years. This 1970 oil painting by Alfred Richardson Simson depicts the May 2-15, 1781 siege of the British post by the combined forces of SC militia Gen. Thomas Sumter and Continental Lt. Col. Henry “Light Horse Harry” Lee. A 263-man Loyalist force commanded by Maj. Andrew Maxwell defends the fortified frame house. Maxwell agreed to surrender provided he was allowed to maintain possession of his plunder. The green-jacketed Lt. Col. Lee, depicted to the left, watches his cannon engage the fort from the east side of the Congaree River as Gen. Sumter’s and Col. Thomas Taylor’s troops attack. The painting was photographed by Will Graves and enhanced for publication. Used by permission of The Cayce Historical Museum, 1800 12th Street, Cayce, SC where the original hangs.
