Ox-Ki-Si 2017 The Freeshooter

Leo, Jan, Martin and Stephan are bored. They practicee "bottle flips" listlessly and would much rather experience something exciting. The old shed comes in handy! When they stumble across a gun there, from which a shot is also fired, they suddenly find themselves in an unknown and hooting crowd around 350 years ago.
