My first flintlock

[Kurt]

Hanz, hey that's my middle name that is a fine rifle. Once you get past looking at what the pan is doing you will do some fine shooting.

Follow through is the key for accuracy. If you have a chance to watch George Sutton on the outdoor channel pay close attention the way he loads and watch his eyes and the way he follows through.

I like to load with a down feather vent pick in the flash hole or a regular pick that for me makes a faster ignition that is like my percussion Hawken.
When you start shooting the flint you will attract an audience, it happens at our range when I pull the rifle out and start loading it. I tell them to stay away from the lock or you will be getting hit with hot powder


I had a guy come from behind once just as I set it off and he got tattooed.
