Saturday I met friends at the gun club for a little shooting fun. They were all shooting modern guns but I brought one of my flintlock rifles. One of them asked me to let him know when I was going to shoot because he wanted to watch me. I had reloaded and I invited him to try it himself. He had never fired a flintlock. I primed it and handed it to him. He shot and hit pretty close to the 10 ring. He commented that he was surprised that there was no hesitation in firing. I then let another shoot it. This fellow had shot one before and had experienced a hang fire. He too was surprised at the ignition speed of my rifle.
