re: New Pimitive Weapons

I have three flintlocks.

All were built by a guy on the westbank about 30 years ago. None are "brand names". I have a .50 cal, .45 cal, and a .25 cal.

All shoot roundballs with patches, all use true black powder. My favorite is the .25 cal which I use for squirrel hunting, it's a real kick to chase squirrels with it.

I try and shoot them at least once a month to keep up the shooting skills. Shooting flintlocks WILL make you a better shot having to hold on the target longer.
