I finally got back to the shooting range past Thursday morning. I set my target at 25 yds. started shooting a duplex load. 15 gr 3 f Goex, followed by 50 triple 7 3 f. Shot 3" low n couple inches to the right. After 7 shots i had it most centered on windage. Was 2.5" low so i did 3 clicks up, ran out of time. I had sighted in my Blk. Dia. out to 100 yds. doing the 1.5" 3 shot group. Its ready for rifle season, need to get the flintlock finished up.

Time just flies by, i hunted the 2 day early ML season on the 15th n 16th Oct. Saw no tick toters, so weather got bad n nasty during firearms season. I used my Blk. Dia. saw no deer. Anyway i never got to take my rock sparker out to hunt. Its been loaded all this time, people will say it won't shoot now after 3 months. I shot my 50 yard target, it 4" to the left n 5" high. I had a slight hang fire but it sure went off. I hit well enough to have killed any tick toter i aimed at out at that yardage. Now i have all this year to get some load work done for this coming Fall.

Never have shot a flinchlock. Maybe someday I’ll have to give it a try.

If you get or build a good one they are the cats meow. I am seriously thinking of building a Kibler Woodsrunner kit, don't know yet if i want a .45 or a .50
I have researched the Kibler kits. The Woodsrunner you have to have a patchbox, i find no reason to have that when i carry a shooting bag. He will not drop it for me to order a kit. So i will look at others, plus the on-going problem of these Shops wanting you to use the barrels n twist they want to carry. I ain't having none of that !
