RE: finnaly shot my genesis
The trick to making them shoot is fire off that primer before the FIRST shot. That's to clear the breech plug. After that you swab with a damp and then a couple dry patches, no need to fire a primer off, load your powder and sabot, and then a primer and fire.
I agree on the sights.. that's why I went to a 1x32mm scope. It makes shooting a LOT more accurate for me.
