    "I never saw such skirmishers as the 95th. They could do the work much better and with infinitely less loss than any of our best light troops. They possessed an individual boldness, a mutual understanding, and a quickness of eye in taking advantage of the ground, which, taken altogether I never saw equalled. They were as much superior to the French Voltigeurs as the latter were to our skirmishers in general." - Major John Blackiston of the Portuguese Cacadores

    Very well done! And don't get me wrong, I really loved the recent discussion videos you did (and would enjoy more like that), but it's nice to see another video of historical shooting. I have to say, however, that the run to the target made that seem like the longest 50 yards on the planet!

    The opening skit was brilliant. So funny. Nice job on the shooting also. I was beginning to wonder if the 50 yard/meter run was ever going to finish. As usual the kit is outstanding. How you manage to do so many of them is amazing. Overall a great video. Thanks I really enjoyed it.

    Baker rifle cartridge appears on screen:
    Me: That's Dim Sum.
    Crisp audio and video and the classic python humour on top. I was waiting for miracle the horse dragging the cart with the big joint.^^
    The weather only makes it better (not for you out there). While the mentioned videos like on the ammo or others for the baker rifle are in the video, also add them to the description and a pinned comment for those that never open the description box. The lower the bar to start those videos, the more will be watching.
    Congratulations on your award.
