    First time buyer / cracked stocks.

    Barrels will set back slightly under recoil. The more imprecise the inlet the more likely to move.

    Flinching?

    Do NOT dry fire with the pan open. To do so will damage your lock. Use a wooden flint and always close the pan.

    What mistakes have you noticed in movies/tv shows that happen in the BP era like Daniel Boone, Patriot etc?
