Bob I respect your opinion and choice to use your flintlock. I believe the comment you quoted was in reference to yet another line drawn in the sand with muzzleloading, the smokeless offerings such as the savage ML 10. If where you hunt the definiton of a ML meaning stuff one shot down the barrel with a rod, attach some sort of ignition, regardless of the propellant, bullet or ignition the choice is yours to make and nobody should feel they have to justify it to others. I love hunting and any way to spend more time pursuing my passion than I am all for it.
i bet anyone if they shoot a flintlock or even a caplock with open sights you guys might even switch to them for they are great to shoot and when you down a deer with them it's even better then nailing one at over 100 yards that didn't even know you where there with an inline....i know when i can count eyelashes and the deer doesn't know i'm there yet brings awhole new meaning of buck fever even if it's not a buck
Hey Bob, you don't need to shoot a "traditional BP rifle" to experience this!!!! I bow hunt and pass a lot of deer in a given year regardless of my range/weapon. Not everybody picks up an and fires when a deer steps into the range window of the weapon in their lap.
Like I said I respect your choice and won't say a thing to dissuade you from that choice...why can't you extend me the same?
It is choice not who's better.
i'm not trying to dissuade you or anyone....just don't say a an inline is traditional....they didn't have primers in 1790's............................bob
