We took Zachary to Cowpens National Battlefield this weekend for their Anniversary events and he got to line up for kids musket practice. Apparently, he was ahead of the class since he was shooting left-handed. According to the re-enactor dude, soldiers were supposed to shoot left-handed because the gunpowder discharged on the left side of the gun so if you shot right-handed, you would get a face full of pain. Very interesting. Of course, I was totally geeking out over all the history stuff so it has hard to drag me away despite the 40 degrees of coldness going on this weekend.
