There's a whole new set of skills to learn to make a rock basher efficient. I haven't learned them all yet - probably need to apply some dedication. The quality of the flints is critical. A good one can give you 30 instantaneous ignitions before needing attention and a bad will make find a big rock to bash your head on lol
There's still a few of Wile. E Coyote's ideas that I haven't tried yet.
Fooking boolsheet Should have got a modern centerfire
Fred Flintstones would love it.
Just joking,,,,, looks great even if it is primitive.
Mmmm,, I can offer you a firm $99.00

Then your getting far too close bigpete...!!
Looks real nice...im not much into the old stuff yet, but i (im sure we all) know the feeling of the new & long awaited toy... So im happy for ya...!
My ol'man has unearthed & is restoring some old family heirloom muzzle loaders recently... So no doubt my interest in this type of firearm will grow...
Cheers
The man who knows everything, doesnt really know everything...he's just stopped learning...
No such thing as too close lol. I've bowhunted most my life with traditional bows so stalking in is no problem. Quite happy to say 90% of my shots even with a scoped centre fire are under 100m when hunting. Spotlighting is different though.
