  • 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.

It also provides instruction on proper maintenance, inspection, and repair procedures. This manual must be used in conjunction with the service wide standards for Historic Weapons Firing Demonstrations (NPS-6 Guidelines for Interpretation). The information below largely comes from primary sources of the period during which the weapons described were used. Several generations of NPS historic weapons personnel have modifi ed these original texts in order to improve demonstrator and visitor safety, make the original texts more comprehensible and to incorporate knowledge gained from years of actually using these weapons in the fi eld. The Park’s Certifi ed Historic Weapons Program Supervisor is responsible for the training and safety of the demonstrators, as well as the safety of the visitors. The following criteria will help determine when a demonstrator has been adequately trained. 1 THE SHARPS CARBINE This manual mainly deals with the use and care of reproduction Model 1859 and Model 1863 Sharps carbines, which were the predominant carbine used during the American Civil War and are by far the most popular reprodction cavalry arm used today.

  • 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.
