Any flintlock hunters around here?

That’s a 43 inch Ed Rayl with a White Lightning liner. I use 120 grains for elk but only 75 for deer.

Here's one of mine from the Illinois season. The other one was at night so I didn't get any pictures.

Can you put a thermal on that flinter?!

Haha I'd never blaspheme to that extent.

It was about 10 minutes before end of shooting light, if I remember correctly. It has been awhile since I've sat and watched whitetails, so that combined with the darkness coming on, I unfortunately filled my 2nd tag with a doe that's probably the size of a large dog! It will taste good though.

Flint only for me on black powder for about 35 years. Here’s my custom 54. My dad is a professional gunmaker and grew up in that world shooting comps every week as a kid. View attachment 800491View attachment 800492

Man, what an absolute treasure of a family gun. I grew up doing the rendezvous too, this is neat to see.
