i would get a flintlock. using the in-lines is like shooting a regular rifle ,in a way.its more fun with flintlock and more of challenge. i think we are getting away from the real fun of black powder shooting and hunting. i like open sights on my tc hawkins .50 cal flintlock. my eyes are not as good but with the RMC V-PEEP, i can see a lot better.now, if my eyes were real bad and no way to shoot a open sight, i would be thinking a little different. most of the ones i see buying the in-lines are young kids with great eyes. some need every advantage to kill a deer. trust me, a flintlock is more fun,looks goodand it does kill deer as much as in-line. take care.
