Hunt or be Hunted Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) Man this weekend was so fun!! Went down to Sikeston MO this weekend for Civil War reenactment and man was it awesome! Got down there at 6 Friday night got camp set up and everything, then got a fire going. Just rested the rest of the night. Then Saturday we had a battle through downtown Sikeston. Man was it ever cool lol. But i took a hit in the gut and fell about 20 mins into the war lol. That was at 11. Then we had another war in a field at 3. i stayed up the whole time that time and we won. (i was union by the way). Then today had a battle at 1. died in it at the end when someone came after me lol. But over all it went in the books as one of the best weekends ever!. But man i only got 4 hours of sleep this weekend lol. So I'm really tired. Think ill call it early tonight and sleep in tomorrow lol. Well thanks for reading a long boring post Edit: In all of us there was about 100-150 guys show up. People came by just to talk to us and asked ??'s about this and that so that was really cool!

toddyboman Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Sounds interesting! Please explain a bit more how the reenactment works? What are you shooting at others in order to "kill"/"wound" them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colorado bob Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Have you gone to the reenactment at Gettysburg? I went to it several years ago, quite an education on the Civil War. CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, so let me see if i can explain this....Reenactments.. Like they had the battles back in the 1800's? with the old muskets and what not. we get a lot of guys get together and reenact the battles, like load the muskets with powder just without the real bullets. then when you reenact it they give you so much powder and when u run out you act like you either die or get wounded. is that what ur asking? lol. stuff like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA_Spike_King Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Sounds like lots of fun. Yeah I have seen them do the reenactment and it truly was fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 they give you so much powder and when u run out you act like you either die or get wounded. is that what ur asking? lol. kinda ya.....so if you one get powder to fire 2 shots your are going to be out pretty quick. BUT if you are given a bunch of powder then you get to participate for a long time...... I guess you hope for lots of powder each time out Do you follow history....for example if the union troops actual won the battle at wherever you are at do you reenact the same victory for that day???

They give us about 30 charges to shoot off....And yes we try our best to do it the way they did it back then. Sometimes you can't, but most the time yes.
