livbucks....i don't own any more centerfires....i hunt all seasons with my flinter even rifle and in the rain....

james B....next to my friends inline there was no noticble difference in lock time to his inline and he noticed it too....

rusty....beware of the bug if you do very contagess....

charley....big difference in a lock time when you polish one up on the inside....even my T/C's lock is burning fast now and with the set trigger set at bout 15 oz....no click-fssss-boom just click-boom....

johnch....you use a flinter on deer only if you have to....not that you want to....the priming charge does get wet if you don't take the care to keep it dry....i always keep my hand over the lock or some other part of my jacket or arm or what ever i have handy at the time....

cayugad....very true in all of what you have said even bout the compound bow....i even thought when i owned my scoped high power rifles it was going to nice taking deer at longer ranges but it turned out it wasn't cracked up to be....especialy after starting bow hunting first and haveing to get close i mean count the eyelashes close....even with my flinter i wait till they get as close as possible just for the excitment it gives me....

roundball....your pictures of your deer are real nice bet ya was real excited when it happened.... in your pictures you look like stumpkiller from another forum maybe i'm wrong sorry if i am....maybe you couldn't get the same name or i'm just thinking of a different picture....once again i'm sorry for any confusion....me bad or what....

thank you all for replying to my post....didn't want to start a debate and all of you responded very objectionitly thank you...................bob
