[QUOTE="Dirty Steve, post: 369166, member: 6896"] Heck yah! Flintlocks rock! (pun intended) I shoot a custom .54 cal flintlock model after the SW Virginia style rifles of the 1760-1770's. That one's my pride and joy. It was built by a guy who apprentice under Herschel House and is a thing of beauty. All hand forged iron mounted, 44" Colerain swamped barrel, 70 grains of 3F and a .535 round ball in a linen patch,...oh I'm getting exceited just thinking about it. I also shoot a.62 cal smoothbore Tulle and a .75 cal. cut-down Brown Bess. I have taken deer with all 3 of them and turkey with the Tulle. If you are a God fearing man, you have to shoot flintlocks, because the good Lord didn't put percussion caps on this earth. My oldest son shoots a modern inline (yuck), but he will learn. In all seriousness, I have nothing against the modern guns or those who use them. I just enjoy the traditional guns. Dirty Steve [/QUOTE]
