Welcome to the sport. Flintlcocks are not all that hard to tame. I got a Lyman Trade Rifle and have been teaching myself all the tricks. They really are a lot of fun to shoot and the accuracy will really surprise you. The main thing now isstopping yourself from buying another rifle. Maybe even two or three, or more...

The forum is agreat sources of information on black powderrifles and loads. When I have a flintlock problem I usually look to Roundball. He really has a great appreciation for the art offlintlocks and knows his stuff.

The waiting is the worst part, but when it gets here get some GOEX BLACK POWDER and have some fun.
