The air is cool, the humidity is low, and got the itch to break out the Penn flinter. My first flintlock so i'm in a learning curve but today was my best and most consistent outing. fired about 25 shots and had 2 misfires. Seems if I rush the loading process and skip "thumping" the rifle at the buttstock with my hand to help get some powder kernels into the patent breech this is when I run the risk of a misfire. Been shooting at 50 yds off a bag as the 33" bbl Penn is quite muzzle heavy and I first need to learn consistent ignitions, then i'll attempt traditional offhand shooting. Getting better and really starting to fully enjoy flintlock muzzleloading.
