Mike Beliveau toting a cap and ball revolver, one of the favorites of his youtube fans.
We're joined by Mike Beliveau to chat a bit about muzzleloading history, media and his own work in the field. Mike has been writing for Muzzleloader and Gun Digest Magazines for several years now, but you probably know him from his youtube channel "Duelist 1954". Mike was skeptical of making videos, but ever since his start in 2011-2012, it's become the thing he's most known for.
It was great to have Mike on, he talks not only about his own work, but his personal history in shooting sports, from tv shows as a kid to his first gun, competitive shooting, trekking and more. Mike has done it all over the years and I really enjoyed hearing about it, I think you will too.
While Mike enjoys firearms from all time periods, his favorite has always been the flintlock rifle.
