Percussion Vs flintlock for hunting?

[bucktales]

I think shooting Flinters makes one a more disciplined marksman.This can carry over into into other shooting areas, which is a good thing.
I like em all!

Ok boys

I felt kinda under pressure here (chuckle).
I bought a TC Hawken flintlock with 54 cal barrel and 62 smoothie in a sweet package deal from one of our members here. Will arrive in couple of days.

We were required to use a flintlock in our late deer season here in PA; so that's what I started with. I don't think I would even do it if it had to be a caplock. Can't explain it but if it isn't a flinter it has no appeal what so ever to me.

all cap smackers for me.. altho I'd never rule out a flinter in my future

There ARE flinters in my future, just gotta make 'em.

I started my muzzle loading lifestyle with a caplock hawken back in 93. I still like caplocks for what they are, sometimes hunt with my rifled muskets. Flintlocks have become my " go to" gun for most of my shooting now. JA

Started with a caplock and was dieing to get a flintlock. You and the flinter seem to bond together as you work out the loads and get her sighted in. Now when I hunt deer or hogs, its the only rifle I carry.
