i was just starting out watching hickock45 around when this video was dropped in 2011. its now 2022 and im 24 thanks for all the good memories and knowledge about firearms hickock. somehow mustve let this one slip thru the cracks im glad it popped up
I know some of you might not care for these sorts of guns and knives as much, but I'm fond of just about anything that shoots. If you're young and all caught up in nothing but fast shooting and machineguns, that's okay, but try to branch out at some point and develop an appreciation for the firearms that won us our freedom, as well as those that help to ensure it today.
This needs restored as a Large Event!!! This event promotes the basics and foundation of Firearms. Even if you're not a black powder shooter watching and understanding this is important!!!!
This is GREAT. I've been hearing about this for years from you mostly but a few others too. Thanks for the quick tour. On my to-do list now for sure. Gotta love this channel.
Love you videos and glad to see you attend the Friendship shoots. I grew up not far from there and went to many of the Friendship rendezvous. My favorite thing to do in southeastern Indiana.
Yeah, I hope to make it up there. I try to go the first Saturday or Sunday that it is open.
@MrGoosePit , It's called a Possibles Bag, mainly for muzzle loading accessories (powder, balls, etc.). I bought it here at Friendship about 11 years ago. It's great for large events such as this, as you are a long way from your car normally and can carry water with you or items you purchase in it. Plus, at this event, it's a very common "man purse" to see. There are several makers of them there displaying their craftsmanship. Mine is elk skin, a real beauty.
Thumbs up for Hickok. Thanks for leading us with you in this trip. Hopefully you'll do it again next year, with the camera, and John and all.
Thanks for uploading this hickok45! I don't live in the US. But its nice to see unique events such as deep in the US.
The interviews and documentary about the knives and axes are great. Its right up your avenue too!!!
I love friendship even though I haven't been there in a few years! I have meet some awesome people from all over! i'm hoping to be able to go in june!
@hickok45 Thanks for showing this. I'm originally from southern Indiana myself and I'm embarrassed to admit I had never heard of this event till you mentioned it some time ago.
What a great change of pace on the channel. If you had mentioned Friendship IN to me I probably would have had a blank stare also. Thanks for bringing us along.
Looks awesome! Def going to check that out. Only a 5 or 6 hour drive from Cleveland..
This is my first exposure to the traditional tool makers. Now I understand how a person could really get into collecting these interesting items. You guys really get around.
Hickock45, just saw this. Thanks for putting the NMLRA Spring Shoot on your chanel. Awsome to see some good press for us on the net.
I've been hearing about this for years now, as I got into shooting starting with black powder, never saw footage til now thanks a ton for recording and posting this! :)
@mindeloman, LOL, Well, I explained to him that we do videos on TH-cam. He was fine with talking about his craft and such. I just love his stuff, so I hope he does sell a couple extra pieces for putting up with us a few minutes. After we stopped gabbing with him, I bought the throwing axe I was holding, and John bought the throwing knife I showed in the video.
@emu4286 , They have it in October, too. I think it starts on the second Saturday of September and runs for that weekend and through the next. Same for October.
Thanks for uploading this hickok45! I don't live in the US. But its nice to see unique events such as deep in the US.
Thanks for uploading this hickok45! been of non-American descent. Its nice to see unique events such as deep in the US.
Thanks for posting
i was just thinking hickok45. should like this. good to see more videos from you!
@xam113w, Don't think I saw any of those. Yes, I believe it's a late 18th and early 19th century focus (flintlocks & caplocks).
Truly neat. I'm glad John even decided to return to the spotlight for a bit. : ) Thanks Hickok
Hey great video! I shot competition for 8 years and have 2 national titles from there. 1991-1992, long time ago. Nice to see it's still going on!
Very interesting video, and very well done hickok45. I wish they held muzzleloading spring shoots up here in Minnesota. Thanks for another great video my friend.
Just goes to show me living in the city you just don't see a lot of great history! Thanks for the video hickok.
@MrAk47master, No, it's a competition, and while I'm fond of the old "charcoal burners," I've never competed with them. The only temptation there is that silhouette range; if I had a way to practice at those ranges a little, it might be fun to shoot the Enfield at those things.
I hope theres a part 2, 3, 4 to this video. Thanks Hickok.
Great video. :O)
I've always wanted to go to Friendship. I've been shooting muzzleloaders off and on since the mid 70's. I currently have a Clark Fraizer 'Matchmate' serial # 45 that he made for me in 1979. It's a work of art for sure and took 2 years to get. I also have a Jack Weichold heavy, full stock bench rifle made in 1947. It's a beauty too with tiger stripe maple. I've also had a couple of Lloyd Resor's rifles (bench & slug) but sold them to finance a motorcycle habit I got into. :O(
I love that tomahawk at 11.00-11.25, love to have a holiday in Indiana just to see this event, thanks for posting Hickok :)
@hickok45 Great video hickok, I like seeing pieces of history like that. Some of those old guys seemed pretty friendly about what they had :)
Love you videos live about 5 miles from you in Cheatham county.
Thanks for sharing!
Man that is so cool. I would love to go there and check it out someday. It looks like stepping back in time, thanks for the video.
Good video! Thanks for posting.
Awesome video guys. I'd love to see more footage from that show. I can't wait to see which Hawk you bought. And, did you do any shooting while you were there? Great videos guys. Thanks for sharring
Absolutely awesome.
Hope to see you this year Hickok!!
Looks like a great place to go. Thanks for the video!
@Iceman5164, That's cool; I hope there are many others like you out there.
Realy realy cool. I espesialy like the storys. The two blacksmiths on the end was very interesting. Learning about the old ways are funn, even for us young people.
I love the craftsmanship.
great vid hickok!
I love stuff like this. Arts and crafts etc, but also civil war re-enactment style stuff. Add in the guns and this looks like the best way to spend a weekend.
I'd watch hours of this. :D
@lurch2150, Unfortunately, that happens too often in the gun business. Just start a thread on any popular gun forum about ill-tempered gun shop clerks / owners or gun show dealers; then step back. I recommend everybody in the country regularly start threads on gun forums in your area about this. For example: "Gun shops where they seem to be glad you came in," or "Most helpful, cordial gun shops," or your "favorite gun shop." It can be approached from the positive side.
@jthomps621, Probably so. Flintlocks to machineguns - how's that for a wide range?
I'd love to be at something like that. Thanks for sharing.
Very interesting video! Thanks for showing.
Connersville indiana here! I'll make sure to go to the next one and try to run into ya!
Hope there IS a "next one." The spring shoot was cancelled, and now the fall shoot is cancelled. Maybe spring 2021 will take place.
People are friendly and so willing to share knowledge on BP. Making your own powder horn, everything.
Fantastic video!!!!
Love this place. Go almost every shoot!
Cool, video, I enjoyed that and very informative. Thanks
Good video,Thanks for your time.
I've always been interested in Flint-lock/Muzzle-loading Rifles... I'm 16 and I don't have a Rifle (Yet) but I've always been interested in 17-19th Century Rifles and the History behind it all
KUDOS!, Great job of capturing the spirit of friendship
@jewpowers, I agree. We almost didn't take any footage. We just went to enjoy the place and stuck a camera in our pocket. John and I both were too busy shopping for axes and such to do much filming. We'll go up sometime and get a really good video of it.
@fire1777, I bought one from him. I think it's my favorite thrower now.
added to bucket list
I love events like that. Really enjoyed seeing the vendors. Hope you post more. One question: was that a "man purse" you were wearing? At near 7ft. tall, I bet nobody kids you about it! LOL.
“Is that because the burn hurts so much you forget about the arthritis “
I understand fully
Sheesh, between the Machine Gun shoot at Knob Creek and the Muzzleloading shoot in Friendship I can't believe that I haven't run into you yet. Maybe one day at the Quigley Shoot in Montana.
id like to see a close up video on that tomahawk you bought. it looked gorgeous!
I go here too almost every year. I can't remember if I came out to camp in 2011 though.
man this looks like some good fun
Wow, all these great comments. I guess Hickok is right that not many people have heard of the NMLRA spring shoot. If you are in to black powder or looking to get into black power, this is the place to go.
Haven't made it there yet, I'm way up here in New England, but someday I will make it to Friendship!
god i love black powder. navy colt 1860 and Springfield 1863 are my dream guns.
Wish I could have made it; I live about 75 miles west of Friendship, in Bloomington, and coincidentally have recently developed somewhat of an interest in 18th-19th century muzzleloaders. Maybe sometime within the next several years...
Okay, so I just turned 18 and this is something I've been fascinated with since I was about 4. I used to live in Madison, Indiana which had a black powder competition for youth that I participated in(I always had fun shooting). Do you think I should get back into black powder competitions? Also, you should keep going back to Friendship. We may end up meeting out there one day.
Yes, go with your shooting passion.
You caught a spoken word from Big John! That is right up there with a bigfoot sighting.
they need to do a special on this on the history channel
nice vid! and all ur others!
5:17 See how that ponytail dude making friends.
LoL.
I have gotta go there!
So cool, would love to go there.
I really want to buy one of these beautiful flintlocks....
Went to Friendship a few times back in the early '80's, out of the Illinois Free Trappers. A great party with some great shooting, too. I was called "Boudins" for my sausage making skills. My video response is from our '84 (if memory still serves) "Frozen Butts Rondyvous" and I'm the one wearing the skunk hat and fur coat.
Cool video.
Man I wish that a quarter of the people who come to this shoot came to the ones where I live, its only like 20 people.
That would be awesome to see.
@hickok45 I would like to suggest watching a DIY Steadicam video. It's an inexpensive device that can be easily made probably in 30 minutes and can help keep your camera shots that have movement in them very smooth.
@hickok45 - When I was 11 or 12 I was asked at a family BBQ if I wanted to shoot my uncle's muzzle-loader. "Sure," I said.
I remember being given one of the balls for a keepsake and it must have been a .45 or .50 caliber. I don't have it anymore, so I don't know. Anyway, that thing kicked the hell out of my shoulder at that age, but it was quite the day that day, because my shot bested every one of the adults who shot before me. I knocked the centre out of the ringed target at 20 yards.
I was surprised when I rounded the corner, by the blacksmith who you bought the throwing axe from, and I ran into you.
yea i went to the west coast NAMBLA or something for breech loading guns when i was a kid. go muzzle-loaders!
you always seem to be in places i wish i was in
The next time I visit the USA, no one takes me away from going to a civil war museum, to another in Western and buy 6 replica Colt .45 bullets. God bless America 👍🏻
(I have already visited L.A, Las Vegas, Miami, Orlando & Phili )
MrGelovell watching from ashland city.
hickok did you go to the battle of king's mountain reenactment at king's fort in kingston TN? i did pretty nice got to fire a musket and all rather nice reenactment
"Is that because the burn hurts so much you forget about the arthritis." . . . . SILENCE. HAHA
haha im there every year i was talking to hersel this year and he said he might come down with us this year have fun brotherman got to love the sheep sheds
verry cool, wish i could have gone to see that
@mindeloman the last two bladesmiths where interesting, I seem to have some trouble believeing the last gentlemen though
When the zombie apocalypse comes these will be some good people to know and to learn how to live off the grid from.
never realized how tall you are gives it some perspective :)
very interesting
@hickok45 oh they're legal you just have to register with 14 different municipal, provincial and National organizations with the exact description of the weapon, your total job history, criminal records, mothers maiden name, your favorite colour the prime minsters favorite colour 150 in sequentially marked bills and all of this in triplicate. :P
I hope theres a part two to this???
Hey Have you ever been to the NSSA in Winchester VA. .they shoot civil war weapons and cannon.
