Strut10 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 And I'm outta tags. This gal walked about 60 yards in front of my flintlock a little after 8:00 this morning. Bang, flop. Or more accurately..........pfft, bang, flop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 That's a great accomplishment taking two with a flint lock! Congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Thank you, sir !! This is really becoming an addiction for me. I had this rifle for several years and just finally went out with it once last year. Didn't get the bug too bad. But the last several days I put some time in and the deer were fairly cooperative. the ball that downed today's doe is probably about the 10th or 12th shot that's ever been fired from the gun and several of those were unload discharges. But from the 3 shots I took last year to sight in and the few I took at deer, it seems to be a VERY accurate rifle with a VERY fast ignition time. I think I will hang on to it.

hoosierhunter Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 It's been years since I've shit a flintlock. My problem was flinching and throwing the shot. Granted I was young, but I couldn't hit a bull in the rear with a scoop shovel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smha6784 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 i have shot plenty of round balls out of a percussion cap gun, but never a flintlock . i could see myself pulling the shoots. it must take a good bit of self discipline, and to take a deer with one well thats something many people these days will never do good job congratulations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
