Should of kept my mouth shut.
I got a few hours over the weekend to go to my gun clubs annual rondy and check out some of the activities. I was down at the woods walk checking things out when one of the shooters asked if anyone wanted toshoothis flintlock. Well I had never shot one but have been interested in checking them out so I spoke up. He had a .62 smoothbore with front site only that looked nice. He loaded it up and showed me how the sight picture worked and put me on the firing line for a Knife shaped metal target about 25 yards away. The target was about 14" tall but only about 2.5 to 3" wide. The shot only had a small delay and to my delight I hit it. Well now I have to start saving some money toward a flintlock. I knew I should have kept my mouth shut.

Flintlocks?? who in their right mind would want to fire a gun by slamming a rock against a chunk of hardened steel? Must all be crazy.

I'm taking at least two others with me.I just ordered another Deerstalker Flintlock for my other young fella. He shoots backwards and isn't comfortable with the Southpaw configuration. lol
