In this video, join me as I shoot the Traditions Kentucky Rifle that I built for the first time, dressed in 18th-century clothing. As I load the rifle with powder, patch, and ball, I discuss the history of the Kentucky Rifle and how it was used during the American Revolution. Then, it's time to shoot! I take aim at a variety of reactive targets and discuss my experience shooting the rifle, including its accuracy and recoil.
After a successful shoot, I take the rifle back to my campsite and prepare to cook the grouse that I harvested earlier that day. I go over the process of preparing the bird for cooking and share a few tips for cooking wild game in the field. As the bird cooks over an open flame, I sit back and reflect on the rich history and traditions of the Kentucky Rifle and the joys of hunting and cooking your own food in the great outdoors.‪@BlackPowderTV‬
