When I lived in FL I used to go to a range just north of Miami. I'd take the flinter there sometimes. And yes, I got looks. But it was more of amazement than anything else. Most guys would be shooting AR type rifles or varmint rifles. I'd here a few chuckles every once in a while but that soon stopped when they got a look at the holes in the target.

Was trying to remember the last time I had shot a flintlock,must have been in the late 50's,cannot remember when the last time I saw someone hunt with one around here but that would have to be around the time we started haveing a season here.I can remember us haveing a first bow season and muzzleloader season but cannot remember the year.
Last year I saw 3 fellows shooting flintlocks at the range but this year so far have not seen any.2 were pretty good with them,(a man and his son) said he and his son had won some matches shooting them.I just set back and watched them.Was very interesting.

I never get looks cause I've never shot ML at a range. That's what the backyard is for!!!

I got lots of looks at the check in station when I brought in a Tom that killed with my 12 gauge smokepole.
