Had a great evening sneaking up on rabbits with my .63" flintlock. I got two rabbits for four shots. I used 80grn of black and about 32g of #6 mixed shot. I tuned the lock years ago and it still surprises me how quick it is!
On the way back I let the hound loose as night loomed.
She half heartedly chased one of those large rabbit things (hare) which I don't think is a bad thing as it keeps them alert and you never know when (and they do here), poachers might turn up!
As I watched the huge moon rise the micro lurcher runs into a few oaks and comes out coursing a rabbit! This is rare for her but she was all over it right in front of me. She whined in frustration as it kept turning but I could see she was getting closer with every turn!
On the last turn the rabbit bolted in a straight line and from nowhere this little lazy mard arsed dog put a spurt on for once and over run the rabbit!
Sometimes I wonder why I bother with her and then she does something.....although rare....that makes me grin!

Good work Jess. I have never used a flintlock, and all I know about them is not much.

Re: Flintlock 2, Jess 1.
I should remedy that gap in my experiences. As for the flints, I would want to try knapping them. It doesn't seem too complicated.

Re: Flintlock 2, Jess 1.
I Knapp my own.....well that is not strictly correct!
It's more like smashing flint and hoping one of the flying pieces, if not lost is useful enough!
