Simple way to get everyone training is to put it back in the High Schools! It was part of the Physical fitness program back in the 70s when I was in school! Yep I'm older than dirt.

You are a national treasure. May you and your whole family be blessed with many years to come. Thank you for all the years of incredible videos. LIFE IS GOOD!

I was stoked when I heard Smith & Wesson was moving to East Tennessee! A little bitter sweet because of the history made at their Springfield Mass. location, but what can you do when your state has become extremely anti 2A …? 🤷🏻 Maryville Tn is great and about 15 minutes away from my driveway! Oh, and it’s actually “Merr-vull” Tn as they say around here… 😉🤣 Great video as always, Hickok! 👍🏻💪🏻👊🏻

38:23 You better be here in 10 years my friend.

No one forces a person to buy or use a firearm in our country, but thank the forefathers for putting the right to do it in our constitution.

I’m a simple man, I see a lever action rifle, I click.

I love the 1886 lever gun, mind is a Winchester takedown model with a 26" octagon barrel....It will go to my son...

I grew up on a farm in West Virginia and deer hunting was always a big event every year but my first gun was not really a deer rifle. It was an AR that I put together from Model1. Still have it.

Sir,... you are a treasure. Your wisdom is worth more than any of us know. Thank you.

Love the Sunday shoot-a-round videos. Always been a fan of lever action rifles.

Your Sunday shoot-a-rounds are the best. I can listen to you talk for hours. Thanks

I just love how much this man loves to shoot. When I was a boy my father would take me out to shoot, we always had so much fun

That’s what it’s all about…freedom. Thank you

I hope he never stops making content I’ve learned so much off this man 🙏🏼

I've only been watching your videos for a little over a year now....I really enjoy the knowledgeable information you have on almost every firearm that I have been interested in....I am still fairly new this wonderful sport but if I have questions or want an honest non-bias opinion I search one of your videos....always great to see new ones posted weekly....best channel on KZfaq....of course that's my opinion....looking forward to seeing many more years of great content....stay safe

Good snowy morning from eastern Wisconsin ❄️

Sunday mornings begin each week! Life Is Good!!

Even in NYC when I was in high school 1970 they still had the shooting range in the basement. It wasn't used except for storage anymore 🙃 but it at one time was beautiful 😍

I have recently become more attracted to older, classic weapons and went and shot my Henry 357 lever gun this morning. I just love that thing. I know why Sheriff Walt Longmire relied on his so much

Thanks for doing all your videos over the years!

I’ve been watching hickock for some years and this man really has pinpoint accuracy with just about every firearm he has in his hands if he misses iam convinced it’s the firearm not him 😂

Like your videos. You bring so much to the gun table discussions. Always interesting. Thanks

Thank you. Great as always. I like it when you give words of wisdom.

Welcome to Tennessee! Blount County here! Welcome gun makers!!! 1986! I was a year old! Love lever guns! The 1886 is a jewel!

As always good advice and wisdom Hickok 👍🔫🇺🇸. Let Freedom Ring . Life Is Good .

I had zero training when i bought my first gun. And believe it or not, i have not shot or killed anybody. Nor has any of my guns.

Thank you for spending your Sunday mornings with us!

If kids are safely exposed to firearms very early in life all the curiosity would go away. When they do happen up on one they will know what and what not to do it. I’ll just say this about adults needing gun safety classes…….. going to an “open to the public” range at the local WMA is a very frightening experience.

I appreciated the lesson. Thank you hickok.

This is what I watch before my date starts at 8:30, wish me luck, my internet shooting companions

I'm so happy it's Sunday! I love these campfire videos!! I hope they never stop!! See you next Sunday!! Be safe and have a great week hickok45!!

The grand father s rifle.45/70 still remains in the family.its one of us.

Good morning! Just want to say, a Sunday morning video from yourself and some music from Sunday morning coming down radio show. Life is good.

Going to see Cry Macho movie in the cinema tonight. Clint Eastwood rules!

I'm watching Hickok45 shoot a lever gun on a quiet Sunday morning. Life is definitely good.

Life is good Hitchcock I appreciate the knowledge you've taught me over the years I really enjoy your videos enjoy your day

Thank you for another great Sunday Show!

Good morning from the Breakfast Club! It's starting to get cold here in the great state of Ohio. It's cold enough that I just saw three politicians with their hands in their OWN pockets. It was cold enough this morning that I had to thaw out the flame in the fireplace at the clubhouse. Deer season is getting really close so I'm sure the range will be well used today. We are anticipating extra members with their kids so we have a couple extra " cooks" this morning on the pancake production line and the egg and sausage griddle. Plus, Neighbor Ned will need at least 2 extra breakfasts because he's starting to build up his " winter fat and winter fur" before he goes into hibernation. Legend has it that between December 26 through April 10th, he never leaves his basement except to file a false tax return and to watch " The Batchelor" on TV. Old Harry says he goes to Ned's house the end of February and slides a poached deer down the coal chute every year. I thought you would like to know Hickok that you are so popular with the kids at the club that they want to make sure that we have your video on the big screen during deer season when I'm in my deer blind and not there. I got it taken care of. It never fails that Crazy Josh gets mad at the rest of us at deer camp for making fun of the fact that he can't hunt worth crap and leaves a day early so he will be back here to set up the big screen. I love predictability! Im glad to see the guys getting some training in for walking the woods deer hunting. We have some of them jogging, a few riding exercise bikes , and we have Goofy Bob walking the stripper cut with two 30 packs of Busch Lite strapped to his back. Some of the guys are still trying to grab more deer ammo but I told them just to call Federal and say they are Hickok45 and we need a few thousand rounds of 45-70, 444 Marlin, 450 Marlin, and maybe 3 cases apiece of 12 gauge and 20 gauge sabots. We don't need ammo for Mad Max because, even after 22 years of him hunting with us, we still don't know what the hell that thing he shoots is. It makes a lot of noise, tons of smoke, and always causes him to curse a lot when he pulls the trigger. He always brings a deer back to camp but my theory is that he finds another hunter that got a deer, hits him over the head with the gun and steals the deer. We are going to have to find another cook for deer camp this year. Neighbor Ned always made breakfast, but he said his ex wife got the frying pan and the spatula during the divorce. She shouldn't have needed them because she was running around on him with the cook at the American Legion. Ned was going to go after him but we talked him out of it after explaining that he makes the best BBQ ribs and chicken in the county and we need a place to hang out at after Friday football games. Seriously, a marriage is important but a really good cook is priceless. Ned can always find another wife, but we can't always find a chef. That all being said, thanks for bringing out the 45-70 this morning. As I've said many times, it's my first choice for deer and my Marlin as just itching to get taken out to the field in a few weeks. And, of course, a lever action is the only " legitimate" way to hunt deer. BTW... Neighbor Ned said he can fix your target holder so it doesn't fall over all the time from muzzle blast. I'm sure it won't take him long to get parts to fix it. He normally just stops along the road and saves the metal that falls off his old pickup truck and uses the parts to fix things when he gets where he's going. He's thinks he can use his old rear quarter panel that flew off this morning to make you a nice target holder. And, don't worry that there is still a license plate attached to it. It came with the truck when he found it in the swamp 12 years ago. I was impressed with the Stoeger. I've shot quite a few Stoegers over the years and like their value. I actually enjoy taking my old coach gun 12 gauge out and playing at cowboy action shoots with it. Well, anyway... I need to get these guys and kids fed so they can get out on the range and fine tune their " deer harvesting machines." Thanks again for a great video. Have a wonderful day and God bless!

Enjoy all your videos. I also like when you're manning the camera and John's doing the shooting. Great content. What's in store for episode #100?

Yep, I’m 62 years old and I got spanked and paddled as a child, I deserved it every time I was. It wasn’t vengeful, spiteful or cruel. I deserved more than I got and I have no animosity about it. So yes, times and attitudes change. No one is perfect. We are all human, by default imperfect creatures. Those who would vilify others for their perceived transgressions should first be a little introspective.

Concerning mandatory training or testing for firearms ownership. I usually turn that argument back at them by saying that if you think that is a good idea, why not mandatory training and a test in order to vote. That usually shuts them up.

I live in Australia I still watch these videos

Love your Sunday shoot around. Great job

I did it I made it. I keep trying to watch this video. It took me 3 times. Something is always coming up. I haven't missed any of them. Your shooting my favorite caliber. My dad bought a Phelps 45-70 on 1976. He kept it till 1998. I carried it at work one time as a joke. Everyone had to shoot it. I wish he didn't sell it. I would still have it today. Heck I would have let you use it for a video. I'm only 7 hours away. I would take the drive.

You are absolutely right on judging history. It is a mistake to judge the past by modern norms. One has to first understand the historical circumstances at the time.

Sunday mornings with coffee and Hickok 45. Doesn't get any better.

Yep, I remember NZ Media using your videos after that shooting incident. I told you about it. You are a wise man.

Time for church! ⛪️ 🙏

What a fantastic video as usual, I'm going to look up why leather marks brass. It does it to my Buck knives also. Take Care and Be Safe.

Always enjoyed your videos, very informative

For those who support tougher gun laws, check out Chicago and their weekly body drop. The good folks like me jump through the hoops for a FOID card to purchase, take the 16-hour cc class to be able to carry ($175 for class plus $150 for 3 yr license). The lawmaker pukes in Illinois just keep making it more expensive to be legal, and the gangbangers are just stealing their firearms to avoid that process. Every day the news is full of no valid FOID! On a kinder, gentler note…that 45-70 is beautiful😍

Amazing the evolution since those old black screen radio shows, trying to guess the firearm by the sounds of its action.. good ol days.

My training came from growing up around firearms and hunting with my pap the bast safety is learned through experience and growing up around people who know in my mind it never hurts to have more but I've seen "trained" ppl not be very smart or safe as they could be great video

I really enjoy your videos! Thank you great man!!!

Hot dog ! 45/70 and Hickok busting targets ! Live is all in harmony. Lol greetings from Westmoreland Ken., can’t beat middle Tn . Thanks for the exposition of shooting mastery.

I’m on vacation prior to a surgery. Which means I can watch Sunday on Monday 😎 I see a lot of Hickok vids the next 8 weeks or so. Thanks for making them.

Good morning Fromm Fishkill NY Enjoy listening to you every week

My Dad would sit down for supper every evening and put his belt on the table coiled up ready if any of us got out of line honestly he never used it but just the threat was enough haha love my Dad he was one of a kind and loved by many to the end miss him terribly

That Brownings rendition of the Winchester 1886 chambered in 4570, is BEAUTIFUL!!!

If you want to see how far gun laws can go look at maryland. My son lives there.

On top of it all. Your right to own and carry guns shall not be infringed on! Period. Like he said....who decides what level of training is enough. Why do so many people's first thought is the government needs to be involved.

Thank god todays Sunday! I had depression cause I lost 3 marks in an exam but I became a little happy watching this!!!! ❤ from Bangladesh, Hickok!

Did anyone else ever have to pick there own switch? I always tried for a stiffer one lol so it didn't stuff so much and key note never block it that made it worse

Why would anyone unsubscribe from your channel. I can't think of a single reason. Love the channel and the content.

Glade to see again Sunday best day ever coffee and the gun teacher

Hello from Texas we always look forward to your videos

Happy Sunday from East Tennessee

I've had the Winchester brand of the 1886 for about fifteen years. Made in the same factory as yours, Miroku. Only problem is that it has a safety on the tang.

Love that riffle! Thanks for sharing…

Greg, you are an amazing shot! Love the lever action rifles. Can you maybe review the new Baretta M9A4 next? They just came out about 2 months ago, and they look like solid guns.

Love a good lever gun sunday!!

Way to get the lead out! Let freedom ring, Hickok!

I don't watch all your videos but keep them coming. You are a legend

There's just something iconic and sexy about buckhorn sights.

I was carrying around a BB gun and then a shotgun or a 22 rifle when I was ten or eleven. The only training I had was to shoot something and see that aiming a loaded firearm at something and pulling the trigger resulted in either the destruction or death of my target and I figured the rest out by myself.

Thanks again.learned a lot.

Dont worry hickok, theres some youngins (such as myself) here who watch you all the time, keep the videos coming!!

Took out the sign 2 weeks in a row!! 😂😂 Probably expensive to have to replace that thing every week but it was definitely fun to watch.

I do love lever guns I think....I have 5 for now LOL. I just picked up a repo Henry 60 in 44-40, my dream gun !

“They got woke and moved to Tennessee” 😂😂😂 you slay me, 45. What a great line 👍.

Love the quote "we are gun people" that says it all.

End of the week is watching Hickok video.

Thanks for your videos.I learned today if you shoot inside,use birdshot.

great shooting talent and good thesis on life

You have such a beautiful gun collection that's so awesome wish i started buying back in the 70s .

Oh man,,,,, Dr Wild Man Hickock 45, how the heck did you time this video so perfectly on release the day I am having 45-70 govt withdrawal and on the hunt to find one in a Henry at any of my nearby Walmart just yesterday ( yes Walmart) I've passed up on two Golden Boys this summer thinking I'll have a chance later this year but so far none to be found) . And so here you are the next day with a video to pain me further on my hit and miss chance to buy and own one. Now I have to go hunting for one again today till I find one somewhere. The miles are accumulating fast on my truck and gas ain't cheap.

Good golley! did you hear how long the sustain was on the gong shot? WHOO!

This is why i wanna be American,all the things that i like are in America like guns,muscle cars,cities,rap music,freedom...i'm italian by the way

Happy sunday hickok greetings

They got woke and moved to Tennessee 😅😂🤣 that's funny, great vids👍 have fun Hickok👉💨

'39 Coats of Varnish' would be a great name for a bluegrass band.

Great Video!

I would have loved a 45.70 but I was offered a 444 Marlin. My mother's first ever firearm: a Pedersoli Boarbuster. So 444 it is... The sound of that long brass is priceless!

Training costs money . And mandatory training will affect the pour and handy capped the most .

Ive got Marlins version… Can see flames comin outta the end of that barrel, even while shooting during the day…👍🏻 (Make sure you get the Core-Lokt shells.)

That’s a beautiful rifle!!! Have fun 🤩

Last week and this week's Target shots has been priceless

I know Caleb Plant former IBF World boxing champion and he fought his heart out last weekend against Canelo Alvarez. I thought I heard him say Middle TN. Dang y'all breed some tough ones. I love your videos sir keep up the excellent work

One from the wish list 😊👍
