Today we're looking at an original Dutch Schuetzen Muzzleloading Target Rifle.
A Schützenverein (German for "marksmen's club") is a local voluntary association found in German-speaking countries revolving around shooting as a sport, often target shooting to Olympic rules or with historic weapons. Although originating as a town militia, a Schützenverein has no military aspects and in many cases often has a more social than sporting purpose.
Schuetzenvereins were founded in the United States by German-Americans and acted as a social club for their communities. Each club had a range for target shooting and often also a bar.[2] Larger clubs could have extensive facilities such as an inn, dance hall, music pavilion, zoo, bowling alley, roller coaster, refreshment stands, athletic field, picnic grounds, and other amusements. It was common for tens of thousands of people to attend a major event.
Schuetzen Park in North Bergen, New Jersey and Schuetzen Park in Davenport, Iowa recall the tradition. The former Deutsch-Amerikanische Schützen Gesellschaft building stands at 12 St. Mark's Place in New York City's East Village, and has been a designated landmark since 2001.

I like that this presenter shows proper respect by wearing gloves.
Love your appreciation of Schuetzen and Germanic rifles/target shooting. My family always made a point to remind me of my German heritage, so once I got into muzzleloading I felt like I was picking up a pastime that was very "genetically familiar".
We call it murdering paper here when shooting paper targets. Target shooting with flintlocks is good fun.
One word. Beautiful
A real purposefully built tool/toy !!! having something like this in the ole gun cabinet , would make one want to schedule some weekend time to spend with it !!! picnic , drinks & all !!!
That was a fine looking rifle Ethan glad you shared it with the class
Nice one Ethan.
Or the gorgeous piece of History. I really wish I knew how to do intricate carvings like that. Gorgeous
Lovely precision offhand target piece. Thank you. Peep sights and globe can be found on crossbows way before guns were invented.
My next project will be a flintlock version of something like this.
Very impressive piece. Thank you for sharing!
That's lovely!
look for threads or signs at each end of the drop tube? could have had a steel Ram Rod insert in drop tube.
That's a beauty of a rifle, I know if I had it I would shoot it.
Wow that is a impressive rifle. Always makes me wonder what kind of accuracy you could get out of it. Another great video Ethan keep up the good work

Hi, I am from Germany and some of my friends from the shooting range have such a rifle. We shoot on about 55 yards of hand and a realy good shooter can get 140 out of 150 and the bulls eye is ten actualy. The current german champion had 149 last year. I am not even close with 130 on a good day 🤣

@@homemadehistory7537 thanks!! i know your channel. i am a fan of it and your builds.
Ethan, That barrel looks like it has 'flat rifling' instead of the lands and grooves. It does have a twist but bullets are made just for that barrel for a very tight fit. I saw a rifle with that type on CapandBall channel. It was insanely accurate.
