great video, if you want the very best, better call rodney black, as he is beyond any the best caller ever. period. speech is a chant. speech part is terrible. god bless russell morrison the second best to ever live.
My father was a shooter befor I was born, he just started back shooting in 07, we missed 08, but he and I both shot in 09. This year was my first time shooting. I miss fired a few times, but other than that and the cold it went great. My dad can be seen in this video at 5:15 and at the stadium.
Yes, It is a music video. Something a little different. It's taken some time to go through the editing/production process. It may be up by this weekend. Thanks!
Are they packing their muskets with more gunpower than necessary (possibly to make them louder)? It seems unlikely that a row of soldiers in old times would aim something that had such dangerous recoil, so I'm assuming that they are using much more gunpowder than normal.
Yes, some of the muskets are overloaded to make a louder sound. The muskets are however just like similar guns used in the civil war. Imagine having to load one of these with someone shooting at you.:(
The muskets are held away from the body to prevent injuries. The recoil is enough to break hands and arms. Every now and then a gun will explode and keeping it as far from the body will decrease the risk of injury. Thanks for the question!
those looks like the old kind of guns,,you know the ones of the civil war....i never tough the this kind of guns were that powerful...its funny how they hold the gun,,,im mexican but i would like to go to one of those celebrations over there..in mexico we celebrate almost the same but over there we use any kind of gun and right exactly at 12:00 in the morning of the 25 of december we start shooting to the sky.its a tradition too...good video...

I don't know if you can classify it as a sport but it sure is unique and different. It's been going on for hundreds of years.

the singing is painful but firing a gun that way is bound to hurt lol

The singing is actually a "chant" Kind of a poem, speech, and song. Yes, there have been a few lost fingers, broken bones etc.
