I did eaxactly what all you guys suggested when I sighted in my flintlock with my new fiber optic sights. I moved the rear sight down and fired 3 rounds at 13 yards. I was dead on with the roundballs. I was told by sighting in at 13 yards my round would be dead on at 50 yards & hit one inch low at 100.

Next time at the range I will shoot at 50 yards to see if this info was correct. Again, thanks to you all. Joe

I'm glad it worked out for you. It will be interesting to see now, where it hits at the other distances. Keep us posted.

on our rifles we sight in at 13 yards also but i never tried it on the t/c hawkins.let us know also where it hits.i may do that also when i start shooting rb,s again after 30 years of maxi,s.roundball has me interested again in shooting rb,s.i could never get good groups from my hawkins with rb,s but i am going to give it try again.
