This video clarifies the distinction between historical reenacting and historical competitive shooting. The creators explain that while reenacting preserves historical knowledge and skills, their goal is to blend historical firearms and gear with competitive shooting to understand their practical realities "under stress." This approach aims to provide a better understanding of how these historical items would have functioned in actual use, differentiating it from pure reenactment or modern competitive shooting.
