I'm still a beginner at the flintlock. How often does one sharpen or change out a flint when in compentition? Lately, I've simply shot the rifle until I have a missfire and then mess with the flint. The missfire is certainly a concentration breaker and I would like to prevent that as much as possible. Do you shoot 5 shots and sharpen or what's the secret to the best success?
