Re: Frontier shooting, circa 1820
Well it's exactly the same rifle I have now except the flintlock version so that may help a little, and I expect it to shoot low based on the caplock one, so filing the front sight is likely too. I'll be charging and priming from 1 horn too, so we'll see how that goes. But if I can get my flint adjusted right, and sparks fly....those targets are period correct toast!

I bet the wind can really effect not only your shooting but also your loading.
