The Coventry Commonwealth Games are still going. There are a few more sports this weekend. We feature the muzzle loader shooting that took place at the Roanoke Rifle & Revolver Club.
Muzzle loading is a stark contrast to the rapid-fire pistols and handguns. So shooters take a more laid-back approach, using types of guns that were popular in the late 1700's and on up through the Civil War.
Ted Greer, Stuart, VA - "They're a kind of an instant gratification target. You hit it and something happens. It's reactive or you miss it and it's 'Oh me.’ But they're different and a lot of fun."
