Colonial Flintlock Musket Experience

Overview

The experience starts with a hands-on overview of the firearm technology in the American colonial era. Your instructor has 35+ years experience in building, collecting, restoring, and using historic weapons.

You will learn not only what typical small arms of the 18th century were like, but also why they were designed the way they were, what they were capable of and what they were not capable of.

After a safety orientation, we'll walk out to our rustic shooting range where you'll get to learn the basics of how to load a colonial-style flintlock musket like the militia did over two centuries ago, then see how accurately you can fire it by shooting at a target.

Group size is limited to four.

This was an amazing experience, especially for anyone interested in history. I'm coming back with a bunch of friends to do it again!

Our family of four adults had a great time. The instructor is an expert on flintlocks and their history. He went through all the steps several times until we were all comfortable with the process, then the real fun of shooting began. We learned so much about history and the misconceptions about flintlocks. They were surprisingly accurate compared to what we were taught in school. This was our favorite activity during our New England vacation. Highly recommended!
