Pistol would be better choice in my opinion.

While it may be interesting, thought provoking and cause for some to argue about, what difference does it make??? If you want fast reliable ignition shoot an unmentionable. Most of us BP shooters are doing so for fun, nostalgia, the challenge, etc, etc. At least that is why shoot traditional...

I and 3 other guys spent 2 1/2 hours with group of 16 young men ages 12 to 17 teaching them about flintlock and cap rifles how to safely load, shoot and take care of these rifles. We had the young men shoot over 100 rounds. Most of them were really enthused about shooting BP. Good time had by...

I bought this coning tool from Joe because of all the good reports that have been posted about it and Mike Beliveau's good videos. I got the 50 cal. and used it to cone the barrel on my Thompson Center Hawken and my Kibler Colonial Flint. The instructions were good and the tool worked great...

About 200-300 per year. Most of my shooting now days is with a flinter.

1965 when I was 19 so 59 years this year

I am in Centerville

Thank you Gary for doing this. Hopefully I will be able to get out and shoot it this month.

Gary thanks for continuing to do this. It was a good reason for getting out to shoot and fun to shoot

Kibler Colonial Flintlock, .50 Cal, 70 gr. 2f Homemade BP. .490 RB, .020 patch, Ballistol & & Water 1-5 Lube. Shot offhand Total score 25 pts.

Found an early 70's vintage TC Hawken with a great offered selling price. Met with the guy selling the TC his grandpa owned - It was rough and when I ran a patch down the barrel it had lots of fouling, looked like it had not been cleaned after it was last shot. The kid said it hadn't been shot...

I should have stayed focused on the bowling ball rather than the top of the pins. And wow that one low flyer was a surprise. Shot this with my Kibler Colonial 50 cal with 90 gr. homemade powder, .500 RB, .012 patch lubed with Ballistol & Water mix. It was fun to shoot. Thanks a bunch Gary...

Shot the July target yesterday. Still trying to figure out how to tighten the groups both offhand and bench rest. I had a great time shooting though. Gary thanks a bunch for keeping this going.

I have shot BP percussion for 50 years and never built a rifle. I and a friend wanted to get flintlocks and I researched for 2-3 months. We decided to try the Traditions kits. I ordered and received a Kentucky and a Hawken style flintlock rifle kits. After examining them based on advice from...

Nice shooting PK with that Fusil de Chasse smoothie. Not very likely I will do that good with my Kibler Colonial rifle when I get out.

Just printed out the target and hope to get out to shoot it this week or next. I have been AWOL on the Postal Shoots for a few months and need to get back in the game. Thanks Gary for continuing to provide this for us.

Yup my strategy will be aim for the center and with all my wobbling I might hit an occasional outside one.

Welcome to the forum and to the most fun type of shooting in the gun world - Flintlock!!!

Why would I want to do that? With the bigger holes and tearing it is easier to get a better score!!:doh: 🤣🤣🤣
