I did find myself suppressed by the remark that one of the contributors made about the length of the hair by one of the men in the video. I can only assume that person prefers military short back and sides hair cut though less genius he may have Male pattern baldness. Now one thing in common we Brits have with our German cousins is a strong historic military re-enactment enjoyed by many. So to give him the benefit of the doubt he may be a member of that group like myself, now this may come as a bit of a shock, that yours truly has hair as long or may be longer than his also I have in a pony tail or top Knot and is not grey with no dye involved, even though I would like to see my seventy fifth birthday again . Yes I am a member of the "sealed knot" society (just google it) the re-enactment is from British history the Cromwell era and long hair was the norm in those times. Now every three years I have my hair cut off and I donate it to a charity "Little Princess Trust" who provide wigs for young girls who have lost theirs due to cancer chemotherapy. Well you "goby fart" you know who I am referring to, a bit of advice "engage brain before opening ones mouth" and never judge a book by its cover.

The Gent with the Pony Tail is speaking German most of the time. As he adresses the camera he speaks native German, when talking to the loader etc he speaks English.

Great to see those gents having a bloody good time w/some old iron kept in high condition being put to its intended use. Thank you for sharing that w/us!

First thing he opens with:

“ A very big part of the hunting tradition we now surround ourselves with comes from the British Isles and British hunters”


He’s speaking Danish Hugh…

As someone with a long silver ponytail, I have to say something...

Great to see people enjoying themselves with old guns. Put someone in the group with a pin-fire, firing three or more shots to everyone else's, and it would take you back to the 1850s. It is easy to see the part horror, part jealousy, that some would have felt to the new invention!

Thanks for posting the video.
