While Betsy and I were visiting Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada, in 2002, the 'redcoats' gave a firing demonstration of their circa 1814 muskets. The collage above shows the highlights of that demonstration.

You must not wrongly choose where to stand.
Great demonstration of these firing soldiers. The collage is also good! Thanks for your visit and comment.
Nice shots (no pun intended!), and the colors are great.
Love forts,Canada and the history. Thanks
Nicely done collage and interesting demonstration.
These demos are important reminders of how important it is to get along with people!
I never realized just how long those muskets with bayonets were until today! Are the guns really almost 200 years old? Amazing.
Very nice. I am fond of History and that is why I like it.
What a wonderful place to visit> I'm sure the firing demo was impressive! Thanks for coming by my blog and commenting on my Blue Ridge photos! Yes, you'll have to make a trek there when you can! It's beautiful!
