Enlarge the video full screen on youtube. Pause at the 05 second mark. Notice the matchlock pan cover on the bottom of the frizzen. Then pause at the 10 second mark and notice the serpentine head entering the frame in the upper right corner of the frame. This is a yoke. ![]()  It too is visible at the 05 second mark in the bottom left corner. |

Good eye, Joe. I never knew such a gun existed, you taught me something.

Yoke had me puzzled, I have always called them a shooting stick. Keith. |
