And, of course, I am sure that many of us made wood arrows the same way as kids. My Cousins and I made many a bow and batch of arrows much like this using goose feathers for fletching.
Thanks for asking James. It beats me how to load photos here or anywhere else for that matter. Wish I could they are very nice points. They fly great. Maybe I can get my wife to figure it out.
I'd like to see someone load an MZ while actually riding a horse.
A bow is a fearsome weapon in the hands of an archer like Lajos Kassai. THAT dude can shoot a stickbow, on horseback and off. He's a master. I have no heros but that guy comes damn close.
Apparently the Metis hunters just rolled the ball down the muzzle and held the gun vertical until they quickly took the shot before the ball rolled back out.
What is certain is that they did use muzzleloaders to very good effect from horseback as ludicrous as that may seem.
