>fusil de chase.
why is the name in french, are you French?

>>2793079
Only convicted felons hunt with black powder.

If you want an actual challenge get a bow and learn to climb trees.

>>2793116
Weapons are for pussies. You should only hunt what you can chase down and kill with your bare hands
>b-b-but animals run faster than us
Learn what endurance hunting is

>>2793079
Based anon. I wish that I could own a boom stick here.... From what I've heard a black powder rifle isn't that hard to make.
So who knows? Maybe one day I'll accidentally put some explosives in a bored rifle and stick some pellets there too for good measure. Who knows what'll happen.

>>2793110
Because it's a copy of an 18thC French gun, I'm from a state that was originally a French colony, and yes, I am partially French.

I'm sorry that this confuses and scares you, my mentally recessive anglo friend.

>>2793116
I also hunt with a bow, and with a modern firearm as well (That's how the turkey got in the oven this Thanksgiving). I don't climb trees because I actually hunt rather than lazily bait and wait like a faggot dressed as a bush in a tree

>>2793156
Where do you live that you can't own a gun?

>>2793187
>I'm sorry that this confuses and scares you, my mentally recessive anglo friend.
Nah that's cool fren, asked because I'm a frog myself.

>>2793079
I just finished a whole new hunting bag, and started getting things ready to go out myself. I'm using a repro English trade gun though in .65.

Snacks will be transferred into linen poke bags before going out though of course.

>>2793116
Convicted felons use modern black powder. History nerds use repros. Don't be an idiot.

>>2793202
NTA, but most Anglo-Americans can't comprehend anything outside of the movie "the patriot".

>>2793079
Fucking awesome, Anon. How far was the shot?

>>2793206
I recognize that pocket knife! Spoon-mogging anon from the EDC thread?

>>2793357
Lol, yeah, that was me.>>2793357

That not a Fusil de Chasse. That a Northwest Trade Gun and they were made by the British. That serpent side plate and large trigger guard are a dead give away.

Anyways this is my set up at an event and I couldn't be happier with how it looked. The locus log was the perfect fire reflector. And I had a shelf for all my stuff

My shooting bag with all my accessories.

>Not knowing about 19thC French produced domestic copies and publicly spouting incorrect autism
NGMI

>>2797189

The Hudson Bay Company, who produced, traded, and sold that gun is English. And it was the English who copied the French and even the Dutch who had superior quality. Most natives desired the French guns over the English but after France lost its territorial gains in Canada and America the English monopolize the market and had enough colonists to produce them domestically.

This is a late 1600's/early 1700's fusil de chasse.

>>2793079
unnecessary thread
this entire board is larp

>>2797200
So... What you're saying is that it is still a French style gun with more steps?

>>2797213
The big round one is the powder horn for loading the primary charge, the smaller flat one is the priming horn, filled with a finer grain of powder for the ignition.

>>2797247
oh, cool. nice set up anon

>>2797246
Its a 100% English design and in direct competition of what the French were doing they however enlarged the trigger guard for use in the winter and introduce in the 1770's. The lock itself was taken directly from the Brown Bess. There is quite a bit of information in Dewitt Bailey's book "British Military Flintlock Rifles" if you're intrested.

Im super autistic about blackpowder guns.

>>2797266
Not mine, just typical set up.

>>2797187
thats a really nice kit
how much did it cost you? and how much was made by hand?

>>2797278
Well, you're certainly autistic

>>2793116
I always hear this but everyone single person I've ever heard of or seen hunting with black powder rifles is either an old fashioned grandpa, a history autist, or both. Felons seem to like crossbows more than anything. Bow hunting is boring for me, especially if you're stuck in a tree. Stalking is way more fun and actually challenging than letting food plots and calls do the work for you.

Glad to see this thread is still going

>>2797210
Difference between larpers and LARPers: we actually go out.

Pic is some of my kit from the last four day trek/sail up the James river I did with some bros. Late 16th/early 17thC English.

>>2798331
That's pretty fucking cool, for nerd shit.

>the balls dagger
Heh

>>2799029
>Staring at my bollock knife
GAY.

Also, I made for historic fencing.

Atlatl ,and blow dart, seem like very cool hunting weapons, but Im sure their mastery is burdensome, slow, and painstaking.

>>2799143
they're pretty intuitive

>>2799053
I wouldn't be able to fight with that since I'd be too busy giggling like a retard the whole time.

>>2799143
>>2799175
You're entirely correct on all accounts, and there's a reason that well. Much every culture invented them, it's almost always a short blip on the technological timeline, before being superseded by bows.

It's a fun novelty though.

Nothing to contribute just bumping a cool thread.

Then just don't sit in a tree and stalk with a bow? I don't understand

>>2800582
I just don't care for hunting with a bow, I grew up doing it being from a shitty state where you can only hunt deer with bows or shotguns, and it isn't my cup of tea. I also don't really hunt for fun anymore either. It's really just to stock up mine, my family, and friends' freezers. I just like hunting and stalking with a rifle more than with bows. Just feels nice, makes me think of how my grandpa's grew up hunting.

>>2800582
>>2800588
And you just reactivated a memory I had forgotten about for decades. Where I got my first shotgun kill at eight years old and my grandpa and dad spent the whole way back home all giddy and excited, singing 1000 nights by that Frank Marino band that was playing on the radio.

>>2800579
You could have just loudly said that you have no idea what legally constitutes as primitive hunting in most regions.

But here we are, with you spreading your gaping anus of ignorance.

Is bow hunting difficult?

>>2801230
It depends.

Are you good with a bow? Then no.

Are you shit with a bow? Then yes.
