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. - Zábava
I grew up shooting these primitive rifles with my parents until I went into the army after high school. The vast majority of shooting we did was at paper targets from a firing line. You people seem to be all about fun and socializing while you shoot, I like it. I hadn’t shot a black powder rifle since the early nineties until lately. Watching the videos of all of the shooting y’all are doing inspired me to drag out my late father’s flintlock and shoot a few shots. The smell of the burning powder instantly brought back memories. Both my mom and dad were great shooters back in their day. At one point my mom was ladies state champ in five states while my pop won a national match in Friendship in 74 I believe the last person to do it with open sights. I still have the targets. Something he always said was a damn fluke. My kids are both grown and gone I’m gonna find a club here in Georgia if there are any left and fire up the old smoke poles once again.
What a great bunch of guys! I’m so enjoying all these videos and please keep them coming!! I’ve learned more about flintlocks watching these guys and ordered myself one today. God bless!!
I tell ya, I've probably watched this video 20 time over the past year, great shootin' and great music! Keep up the great work guys and gals!
Check out his years!
Great, pure, American culture. Stay strong brothers. I wish I had grown up around that
What awesome rifles !
...and beautiful scenery too.
Thanks for sharing, Denny !
You are SUCH an artist. Everything is beautiful in this video: the scenery, the firelocks (what we still call them in Boston) and the people. Thank you.
Thanks for the kind words. I do nothing. The scene itself is beautiful and I do it no justice with my mediocre skill at attempting to capture it.
Denny, Thanks for sharing, you truly have an eye to capture an amazing level of detail, fantastic work! Kudos to the participants too, quite a cast of characters, period attire, beautiful rifles, you could almost imagine that you've captured a color, HD view into the past.
Thats my kind of party!
Watching this is making my trigger finger itch and my nose long for the smell of burning black powder. Thank you for capturing the fun and sharing it!
Some awesome cinematography. Looks like an awesome time
Denney If I could get a single day like this, you would never hear a complaint from me about nothing.
That is a beautiful statement and makes me appreciate what I have here. Thank you.
Watching your video on Christmas day. What a nice Christmas present. Wishing I was there with you boys.
Everytime I see one of these videos pop up I know I will just hate the fact I don't live in Montana yet. A year and a half to go.
Now THIS is the " Big Bang Theory" Super
I really need to come up and do this, so inspiring, Thanks Denny...
Another good one! Thanks!
Thanks Denney! I've been waiting on a new video from you; been going through withdrawal! Lol
This was worth the wait! Thanks.

Great video as usual. I have a shoot this weekend, it isn't near as beautiful as where you are. I am trying to get more flinters into my club. Just need to carry an extinguisher where I am!!

Just came across this in my feed and looks like you guys had a blast! Literally and figuratively! What area in Montana was this shoot? I'm a flintlock gun builder from Ohio thinking about moving to the Kalispell area in North western Montana, glad to see there are some guys that are into shooting (and hopefully hunting with!) traditional muzzleloaders! Also, is that Gene Gordner playing the guitar and singing towards the end?!
A large portion of these guys are from the Flathead valley! I have shot with them before and they're a blast!
Yes, that's Gene. The Flathead, where this was shot, is still the Mecca for gun builders. Over thirty manufacturing facilities here, plus dozens of individual builders hid out in the mountains. If you move here, bring lots of money, land and houses are higher than a tall squaw's ass now. Very active ml clubs and hunters in this area.
@@drewdickey2832 , one drove 150 miles, another over 200 miles, just to attend this one day shoot. Worth it.
Today i got my 1st flintlock 50 Cal.hawken rifle.
It is a christmas gift from me to myself(my lady gets a n7ce gift too).
Woohoo,can't wait to shoot it.
My 50 cal. Percussion is already like an orgasm😁😁
I love the beauty of Montana. The guy at the end can really sing and play guitar. He should be famous. At what distances were the targets I wonder?
They were from around 20 yards to around 100 yards. Mike, who sets up the course loves small difficult targets. You will look at one, think it's easy, then find you are shooting at an olive over the big potato, or an apple over a balloon. He's devious, I tell ya!
@@waksupi How did you do Ric?
@@STMwoodturning , I figure if I kept my score stick, and shoot four more years and add the points each time, I may have a score I can turn in without embarrassment.
Has there been an increase in the number of members since you been making these video?
Where do I sign up for this and what can I bring, you beautiful crazy sobs?

What is the guitar players names and is his music available?
His Name is Gene Gordner. He does have some albums out. Find him on Facebook. Here is a link to another song he did yesterday. I haven't figured out all of my video editing yet, so it is missing the introduction. czcams.com/video/705ehV1RFNE/video.html
Jerry, are you the barrel maker from Kalispell?
Looks like good times..!
Is this the Flathead Valley Muzzleloaders group?
Thanks for the video....
Yes it is.
