Anyone here ever shot a Brown Bess (or replica)?
With my mind wandering idly (its usual activity) it wandered into the flintlock era. With my family history it occurred to me that I wouldn't mind having a big old long chunky Brown Bess (or 2nd Land Pattern Musket, as they're called). Flint lock, .72 caliber, smooth bore, just the thing for standing in a row with a hundred of your closest friends and firing at massed infantry 50 yards away.
Has anyone here ever played with one?
