Default RE: Kid Meets Flintlock

ORIGINAL: Semisane

Introduced a hunting buddy's eight year old grandson to my .54 flintlock today. Put him on a bench with sandbags and 30 grain loads with a target at 20 yards. Explained the "pumpkin on a post" sight picture to him. Had him dryfire the double set triggers a few times with no powder in the pan. Then loaded up. His first two shots were touching and he shot a two-inch five shot group. You couldn't wipe the smile off of his face with a brillo pad.
Amen to that. Very cool, sure beats a 22. Chap
