I do not understand why you would want to fire a flintlock upside down. I usually stand on my two feet when hunting/shooting. I guess the next time I see someone hunting "standing on their head", I'll know who it is. LOL
Does this tell us a little something about you andtheuser I.D. you chose....."BonsaiDiver"
Encoreman: you wouldn't normally fire a flintlock upside down. The point is to test lock speed and ignition time. If every thing is working/tuned properly, the mechanism should be fast enough to fire the weapon upside down.
This is what I was attempting to find out.
As for my name, it is not due to my reckless nature. I was trying to think of a cool bulletin board name. All the good names like Cayugad and Roundball were taken.
At the time I was really in to SCUBA diving. So I thought maybe something to do with diving or divers. Also at the time, I had a bonsai tree in my cubicle at work. When suddenly there was a moment of clarity and I put the two together.
It was also winter time and there were a pair of ear muffs on the desk as well. But that combination just didn't seem to work for family friendly boards.
