- We tremendously appreciate all of your support over the years. The Folk Firearms Collective is a husband and wife team comprised of Denny Ducet and Alina Aldobrando. Our goal is to preserve the passion, art, culture and traditions of the blackpowder community and the adventurous history behind it. Should we fail to immerse ourselves and educate each other in this rich history, posterity will wither and cease, leaving the younger generations to never experience the joy of such times. Join us as we disconnect from all the modern noise and chaos.
To support our channel, please feel free to become a channel member and gain access to exclusive content. All proceeds go to powder, ball, and associated accoutrements featured in our videos.
We humbly thank the Flathead Valley Muzzleloaders Club for their dedication to this craft, the land on which we shoot, and most importantly-their willingness to partake in this preservation of history. Of all the folks we’ve been honored to spend time with, these gents and gals are the greatest of our friends. We are forever grateful for their influence and education in our own lives through the course of our traditional muzzleloading journey.

Great job, Denny…sure is good to see you back!
Hello to all of you. Thank you so much for this video, 47 years i have been shooting black powder. won some shoots and lost a few. The friendship you have with each other is the most important, and this should be treasured and cared for, it`s something governments do not understand and never will. Stay strong and protect your rights, my heart is with you all. From New Zealand.
Wow... that breach loading is amazing, the screw is so precise. Very intresting thanks for demonstrating.
Glad to have you back Denny! I always enjoy your videos and the Flathead Valley folks!

Greetings from France 🇫🇷
Great to see a video out again, and to see a Ferguson in action is just icing on the cake.
Couldn't agree more!
Wonderful video! Expertly composed and skillfully shot. By far the best ML channel on the tube.
Thank you
Finally another video! I've been eagerly waiting for y'all to make another one! Keep on making them please, I enjoy watching y'all and y'alls videos have convinced me to get into muzzleloading!
Thanks for the new video Denny and Alina. Much appreciated!
We couldn't have asked for a nicer day to shoot, and it was great to see you both again! Take care of yourselves!
Always great to see you and share a fire, a laugh, a meal and a shoot! See you again soon.
Some of the most enjoyable videos I've ever watched!
Much appreciated
That new extra loud, fog horn notification finally went off on my phone! I've been waiting patiently for another video. Thanks for sharing, looks like a great time.
Glad it worked and thank you for being here.
Good luck a new video.
Thanks guys.Greetings from germany.
Thank you for the kind words.
Thanks for sharing, enjoyed watching!
Thank you gentleman and lady. It has been some time but is always worth the wait to sit and shoot with you. I look forward to our next gatherings to socialize. Many Thanks.
Absolutely
looks like a whole lotta fun ! another great video ty for sharing !
So nice to see a new video from you.
Believe it or not, I have seen a Ferguson before, and have heard the history and seen it demonstrated being loaded from different shooting stances and in rapid fire. Wonderful pieces of history.
So glad to see a new video from you! They are always top notch!
Thank you.
@@FolkFirearmsCollective All thanks go to you! Best BP videos on the web, bar none! And I've watched all of yours, some more than a dozen times. Keep up the great work!
I absolutely love these videos!
Good to see a new video.
So relaxing!

Greetings from the UK! Thank you for creating and posting another wonderful black powder shooting video. I've been shooting Black Powder for near on 30 years, but I envy the fine shoots in beautiful locations that you have across the pond. It's as near as perfect as I can think of. Loved the focus on Ferguson Rifle too, that was really interesting. Your videos are a fine creation of music and photography and of people maintaining a fine tradition. I so look forward to seeing your posts. Best wishes, Jason
Thank you friend!
Thanks Denny and Alina for this quick follow up video! Looks like shinin’ times were had!
good to see, as im starting to get older, Flintlock loading seems more attractive, perhaps one day, Thanks for the video
Thoroughly enjoyed the video, and great to see everyone having a good time. I have a .50 and .54 and completely hooked 14 years ago after being introduced to these types of firearms. All the best to you all
Love your videos
Thank you very much.
I was just watching one of your videos you made last year yesterday and was wondering when we would see another one
Absolutely love your channel
Thank you!
A very well made video.. Interesting Ferguson! Never seen one with the screw breech projecting above the barrel like that.. Mine doesn't nor does the original Durs Egg one in Edinburgh Castle..! It looks more like a Chaumette from which the Ferguson was developed.
I love these videos so much!
Thank you!
Inspiring. And on the other side of that tree where these gents and ladies stacked their muzzleoaders and a Ferguson, there were Springfields, Garands, ARs and AKs for 'diversity.' Long Live the 2nd to preserve the Republic.
Never been shot at yourself,huh,Richard?Doubtless never been with a woman either.
Thanks for sharing. Very good time .
please make more videos!
I wonder if this system would have been developed into something much better if Ferguson hadn't been killed at King's Mountain and lived to see percussion caps perfected?

If memory serves, the inventor of the Ferguson ,Major Patrick Ferguson , the holder of the British patent to the rifle was killed at Kings mountain ,
That is correct.
In the Battle of Plattsburgh, 1814, there's some experimental self-priming muskets, invented by one Captain Matthey, in the British Army. I wonder if there are any surviving example or replica exist.
I like all your videos, they keep me going during the days I can't go out.
I have a question, I hope you guys who are more experienced than me can help:
A few years ago I made a powder horn out of a buffalo/ Tanka/American bison horn and came out really nice, the problem is that it's not as smooth as it was before, it is drying up and splitting in the surface; how do you folks treat your horns to prevent them from drying like that, do you apply some wax or oil?
Thanks, I'm getting my stuff ready for muzzleloader season.
Have a great day!
I can’t answer for others however personally I did apply beeswax to mine.
@@FolkFirearmsCollective Thank you so much for the quick reply, I really like my powder horn and I want it to last as much as possible. Thanks again.
@@guachinango582 I rub mine down with any type of natural animal fats. I have bear oil on hand, so that usually gets used.
@@waksupi Thank you, I'll try to get some bear tallow this year.
Looks like you had a ball..
Yes we do have black powder long guns in the UK we have to get a licence and go through a probation process with a recognized club then it's organised range days paper punching with a R O watching you. I would love to have a informal shoot like this with a steel target that either it rings or not . Looks great fun with no pressure 👍🇺🇲🇬🇧
The good old kentucky long rifle would like to join youll but i dont have muzzleloader but do have a bulldog357 air gun thumb up on your video
What State is this in?
The Last Best Place. Montana.
@@FolkFirearmsCollective I would love to go to Montana!!!
who is the maker of the Ferguson rifle reproduction?
His name was Tim Mitchell and he has since passed. A wonderful man.
Is that an original?
No. Custom made. One of the very last rifles built by one of the renowned gun makers in the region before he passed.
Unlike modern gun shooters these folk get together to have fun, crack jokes and have a good time and not to show off or play Rambo.
