Congrats on a cool trophy. I don't care how you light them, hunting with an open sighted front stuffer just puts the capital F back in FUN!!!!

Well and truly done! I hunted an entire season with a .50 caliber rock lock one time and came away from the experience with MUCH more respect for the hunting and fighting prowess of our forefathers!
If you haven't seriously shot a flinter, you don't truly understand what "follow-thru" is all about!

Excellent JABHuntin, and congratulations. Round ball I assume. What was the range?

The second shot was right at 100-yards. Thanks for sharing. Mine is 1:28" twist, doesn't shoot round balls too well, so I always erred with something else and also got away from needing a patch.

Great! Hunting with a flinter and PRB is a hoot. Being successful at it is icing on the cake.
