First-Person K31 Operator: Murtenschiessen 2019 FPS with Bloke and Chap
Switzerland
•
23m
So back in 2016, Bloke filmed the Murtenschiessen in early-BotR quality, with the history of the Battle of Murten 1476.
This year, both Bloke and Chap were invited to shoot by the Société de Tir de la Ville de Fribourg, one of the oldest shooting clubs in Switzerland, founded in 1493, so only a few years after the Battle of Murten itself. Have a look at their website here: http://www.tir-fribourg.ch/
Having filmed it once already, they decided to show the event from the shooter's perspective, with headcams. A bit FPS game style, but ending up looking down on the rifles rather more!
And since we're on a back-to-the-roots primitive shooting roll at the moment, we shot with unmodified K31's. Well, Bloke "cheated" with a fine elevation corrector with a guesstimated setting between 200m and 300m cos his front sight is too sizes too long...
Thanks to Thierry for inviting us, and to Anna for operating the handheld camera while we shot!
