Hi everyone. I’m Mike Beliveau. I think it is safe to say that most people these days know me for my Duelist1954 YouTube channel where I shoot a wide variety of historical firearms at poor old Evil Roy.
I think it is less well known that I’ve been a gun-writer for various books and magazines...
They don't need to be regulated, they each have their own sights, and each barrel is sighted in separately, so the should hit in the same spot, if I could hold that well...obviously I can't...LOL
I've always been interested in re-creating the long-range shooting accomplishments of America's Revolutionary war era riflemen, and this year's Historic Camp at Springbrook gave me the opportunity to shoot at 250-yard distant targets with a flintlock rifle.
In the video you'll see long range...
As many of you know, YouTube de-monetized over 100 of my videos on the Duelist1954 channel last week.
Naturally, I requested a manual review of each one. So far, they have reviewed 63 of the videos in question.
For 21 videos, the manual reviewers reversed the original decision, so those...
I have a question about rifle ballistics that I hope someone here can help me with.
I have been running some numbers for muzzleloader round ball ballistics through a ballistics calculator, and there is something that I don't understand.
Even though I'm running numbers for a muzzleloader, I see...
I’ve been fascinated by Wild Bill Hickok since I was a kid, I’ve read all of Joseph Rosa’s books on Hickok, along with a lot of less well-researched books and articles. His shot in the Davis Tutt fight is one of history’s iconic shots. It is to Colt Navy revolvers what Billy Dixon’s one-mile...
I just finished writing an article for “Muzzleloader” magazine on setting up a hunting bag for smoothbore shooting. It will probably run in the magazine next year.
I also put together a video on loading smoothbores from the bag.
I welcome your thoughts on the subject.
In part 2 of the 2017 SHOT Show series we’ll see some beautiful new laser-engraved single-action sixguns from Taylor’s & Company.
Val Forget of Navy Arms will show us what his company is doing to beautify 1873 and 1892 Winchester rifles, making them rival fine custom-built guns.
Kimber will...
In this video you can come with me to attend Industry Day at the Range before the 2017 SHOT Show. Industry day is when the fraternity of gun writers gets to shoot all the new offerings at the SHOT Show.

I've already posted my industry Day at the Range video, and here is the first of two videos that I filmed at the SHOT Show Proper.
In this video I’ll give you a little look at what it is like to attend the SHOT show, and I’ll show you a few new products for 2017.
At the Cimarron Firearms booth...
I recently completed building a Lyman Great Plains Rifle kit for an article in “American Frontiersman” magazine on guns used in mountain man movies. I thought it would be more fun to build the gun, rather than buying a completed model.
The difficulty level for putting this kit together is...
I’m planning a series of articles on flintlock smoothbores with both shot and ball. I’ll be looking at things like 2Fg vs 3Fg, and historical vs current loading techniques.
I’d like to put together a little database of that will allow me to gauge the state of the art out in the world. So, I’d...
It has been awhile since my last update. There are just too many other chores that need to get done in the summer. But I finally got into the shop to tackle installing the trigger guard on the swivel breech rifle kit from David Price.
Doing this chore on a swivel breech rifle has a couple of...
Here is the full-length video shooting the Early Lancaster County rifle built by Shawn Webster. This was my first time shooting a rifle since breaking my shoulder, and I'm not shooting up to my expectations. Shoulder's doing well, but it isn't all the way there yet. So, be gentle with your...
