I really love flintlock season! I like the late seson hunt because the deer are a little more relaxed again, and with the snow I can do some tracking and stalking.
The guns are older rifels, I believe they were my grandfahters's. So Im guessing about 20 or more years old atleast. Mine even has the older style iron shights and dad just bought fiber optic sights for his today, ran about $55 but well worth it. I think hes going to try some diffrent bullets since he has to re-sight anyway. If he does Ill put another reply up.
~I just looked at the guns, my father's looks alot newer than mine and says its a " Hawking". Mine just says who made it and that its a .50 calaber, nothing else. Mine is also about 4" shorter than his. They both have the brass but plate, patch holder, ram rod and trim.
