Historical Shooting Inc

I wasn't going, but I'm still furious about the Quebec thing in the last post.

On a lighter note, we've been working on some educational shooting-related projects around here that I thought I'd mention.

We've started a new venture called Historical Shooting Inc. HSI for short. HSI's function in life is to hold educational shooting events that will be a step up from "blank firing" reenacting in that participants get to live fire the guns etc. The plan at this time is to hold quarterly events that will highlight specific time periods. We plan to work in as many details, like period correct food, etc.

For instance, the event in January was "The Battle of the Bulge". Participants formed a squad of riflemen and set off on a trek through some deep snow to fire at targets along the way. There was a light machine gun stage, a pistol stage, a rifle stage and a carbine stage. At the end, we all ate our nearly frozen K-rations while we discussed first person accounts of the Bulge from 1944-45.

The next HSI event will be on Sunday, May 17th. This one will showcase the types of weapons used at the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876.

What we have lined up so far are primitive bows, tomahawks, single action revolvers, double barreled shotguns, a 1866 lever action rifle, and a Trapdoor Springfield Carbine.
