The things one learns and relearns is always relevant both historically and today.

In the words of Walter White in the “Breaking Bad” series… this is not m**h.

Fulminate of mercury was used in military percussion caps during the mid-19th century, but it was far from perfect. It is very toxic, and they knew this in the mid-1800s, but the only other percussion chemicals available at the time tended to quickly cause rust.

Mixed with saltpeter, it powered the percussion caps for muskets during the American Civil War and also for most armies of the time in Europe. It was also used in the Maynard tape priming system.

Walter White was apparently able to get his fulminate of mercury to look suspiciously like a piece of sugar rock candy. Its actual appearance is a white or tan powder.

This is a safe and educational representation of a rare artifact and an informational presentation on an important part of history.

Our weekend is over but the fun time's had are always very rewarding.

A final finish to our working bee done and dusted it was time for a lot of giggles around the campfire that made for a perfect end to the 1st day and the sounds of howling wild dogs in the very early hours of the morning ment for some weary eye's this morning but the breakfasts were OMG 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

A couple lessons taught about loading and preparing target muzzleloaders for firing and new experience gained is always a bonus.

Lunch was forgotten 🫣 but the cakes weren't 🤤

Annie enjoyed her 1st time firing of her new Blunderbuss followed up by Griffo having a shot with the Blunderbuss and experiencing what a very slight delay is like with a flintlock.

Time got away and it was clean up and packed up for the drive home and time to reflect on the weekends fun.

Very much looking forward to our next shoot in two week's time.

Enjoy the videos on our YouTube channel 😃

Applicable to those among us willing to hunt with muzzleloaders.

When was the last time you looked an animal in the eye through nothing but iron sights?

There's som**hing stripped down and honest about hunting without glass. No magnification, no turrets, no reticle. Just you, the rifle, and whatever grit you brought to the mountain.

Wayne van Zwoll writes about that kind of hunting in this piece from Fair Chase Magazine. The kind where the trail presses in tight, fatigue is real, and the shot comes close enough that you can see life glinting in the animal's eye.

It's a style of hunting that demands more of you. More patience. More fieldcraft. More willingness to let an animal walk if the shot isn't there.

That's the kind of hunting that stays with you long after the season ends.

Looking at acquiring a target pistol in the future and have sneakily won an argument with my wife when she asked ..how many?

I said...1 then as I walked away I turned and said 1 Pair.!

She was instantly No No No thats 2 not 1.. I don't ask for a pair of rings when buying jewellery now do I?

😉☺️ I was pre-paired for this!! 🫣
.To back my argument up, I said how many underwear do I have on? ''1 pair''.. how many socks do I have? ''1 pair'' .. how many boot's do I have? 1 pair.! How many earrings do you wear? .. 1 pair.!!

Oh yeah, she has a Pair of rifles!!

So now on the browser looking naughty pistols 😆

An excellent interview and authority on a much loved subject and history.

For generations, Muzzleloader Magazine has been far more than a pub...
