Accuracy at 300 yards may be questionable, but a compacted French column would get some serious grief.

Sean Bean has sold so many of those rifles. I hope he got royalties from the reproduction companies.

Hi Rob, I was so inspired by your video, that yesterday I also tried my Jäger flintlock to 200 meters first. That's a great fun! cheers, Balázs

Fantastic use of windage and elevation...  Top Marks...!  I know many, and I'm sure we all know many, who cannot shoot so accurately using modern cartridge rifles.  Thank you for the time and effort with putting this video together and providing us with useful info...I'm now sold on the Baker Rifle...

This is certainly a breath of fresh air considering how many people I see on a daily basis brag about how far they think their rifle can shoot to and how easy it would be.

Great Shooting. I have been shooting patched round balls from muzzle loading rifles sense 1975. Round balls have their limitations at long range. I have always believed that It  has to do with the decrease in velocity and the slowing of the ball's rotation. People who claim amazing group size at 300 plus yards are not always honest. The reason for your success is your honesty. Those are the same results I have gotten with my custom .50 cal. Flintlock Long Rifle.

Sharpe does always say aim low.... Great vid!

Thank you for the effort that youv put into this. Not a whole lots of videos of people trying this with a history lesson as well

The scientific approach you take to these shoots shows clearly the advantages and disadvantages of a (reproduction) 200 year old weapon in the hands of a skilled marksman.  These presentations never cease to fascinate.  Thank you Rob.

Nice experiment and effort to carry it through!

Great shooting! Since my new range opened up to 500M's I have a new appreciation for anything over even 200M practical shooting. Even with a 3.4x Elcan 4-500 is pretty tough.

Great as always.  Thanks for taking the time and effort:)

Beautiful Rifle! Great video as usual

Your videos, sir, are a pleasure to watch!

Great job! love the videos

Chosen Man?!"
Thank you for the vid. Ive been curious about the baker since that show. Tv is tv and he was usually making cqb shots anyway, but it's nice to the myths dispelled.

Nice shooting! These videos are always awesome! Really makes you understand why volley fire was so often used, and the rule of thumb for battle tactics.

Another excellent video ! I always enjoy your films they are interesting and very informative. I am currently getting to grips with a Lyman Trade Rifle in .54 cal. It's a flintlock and I enjoy it immensely. All the best from Scotland

its about time LOL!
I have been waiting for you to shoot at the 300. Now I just need to watch the Vid

Super work!
