Frontier Church Bells

Post by RanchRoper » Sun Jun 05, 2022 3:28 pm

My Frontier flintlock at 50 yds off hand today, love the steel when it rings!

A bit of a wind today but I am getting much more comfortable with the new flintlock. Aim, set trigger, light touch on front trigger....and hold, hold hold. :)

Outstanding, RR. That hold, hold, hold routine is also one of the secrets of shooting a springer airgun with accuracy.

Light on the trigger and hold. If I don’t the results are always the same. Disappointing. :)

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Never shot a flintlock. Looks like you enjoy it. Not sure I could hold it up long enough to aim.

Just wondering, do you have mountinman rendezvous in your area? When I lived in Utah in early 80's, we liked going to them. Fort Bridger was a big one.

We have something similar but not 100% PC/HC. I am going to one in July. More of a black powder shoot that encourages period attire. The Popo Agie in Riverton Wyo is on my bucket list. Maybe next year.
