Replicating the tinder sticks for early 16th century snap matchlocks guns added a lot of details to the use of these firearms. This is probably what we can call experimental archaeology. But it also raised new questions, like which one was better? The match that existed for centuries before or the tinder that was also used for thousands of years to make fire? So here is the comparision Ladies and Gentlemen.

Well this is my channel and these are my impressions about shooting old and repro blackpowder and cartridge guns. You will find target shooting, hunting, reloading and military history related videos here starring pre 1945 firearms. Since I was a little child I knew I want to be a history teacher. In fact I graduated as one. Later I studied military sciences on university level, and now I am doing my phd in firearms history while I teach military history at the university. That’s my life, my hobby. I hope you’ll enjoy my videos as much I enjoyed making them. Greetings form Hungary, the land of good wines and beautiful women. Oh yes, and please forgive my Hunglish. 😉
