Primitive hunting in PA flintlock season is totally different than Colorado muzzleloader due to conditions. First I don't care what sight you use it takes practice to get used to the flash of a flintlock. Without practice your going to cripple more animals than kill. In Colorado I am glad it isn't just flintlock or way to many animals would end up crippled. In PA most years there is snow on the ground during flintlock season. If a deer is hit just follow the tracks. Colorado in September if you see snow on the ground your lucky. This year I used a in-line just because I didn't get practice with my flintlock. Being a good hunter is being a good hunter. Being a flintlock hunter isn't bad no matter how your weapon is set up. It's a challenge.
