I have read that the "flint angle" is important. I have read that where the flint strikes the frizzen is important. Does the type of...

    Traditions Pa. Pellet Inexpensive or cheap?

    First off, let me say that I am brand new to flintlock hunting. I have been hunting my entire life and been around guns my entire life. I have hunted with in line muzzle loaders for many years.
