Shooting the Flintlock




I went out yesterday and shot my flintlock, I had never shot a flintlock before though I have shot several percussion rifles and pistols. It's different but good. I feel a connection to the old times when I shoot blackpowder, especially when I shot the flintlock.

It's a kit from Traditions, and while I probably won't buy a kit from them again, it shot well enough (although I have lost my targets) there were some fitting problems with it. But I like it and I'll get another flintlock kit from someone else. I think I might take it out hunting though...


Edit. Found the targets. We could only shoot from the 25 yd line, the other benches were full, but here they are in order #1-#4
