The Revenant.........Wow
Watched the new movie The Revenant today......whoa it was intense for sure. I mainly wanted to see the use of the muzzle loaders and how accurate the film would show their use since that is what I shoot now days and they were not too bad. For sure the Indians of the various tribes can shoot arrows MUCH faster than a flint lock! I would not be surprised if 'ol Leonardo got an Oscar nod for his work in this one? I was also interested because my wife's grandfather was a trapper and hunter near the Canadian border and she said he used to tell them tails of what they did and how rough it was and she said maybe he was not a BS'r after all. It sure makes me glad to live in the land of warmth and sunshine!
If you want to escape for a bit I'd recommend it for sure and if anyone wants to try one of those rifles, we have a black powder match on the first Sunday of each month at the South Bay Rod and Gun Club near beautiful Dulzura. I'll even loan a rifle for a shot or two.
