1. Have you ever shot a flintlock?
2. Do you often shoot just for the fun of shooting (plinking/target shooting), or pretty much primarily just for sighting in and taking game?
1) Yes and i dont care for them at all
2) Of course, that is why i have a 11+lb rifle that i never use for hunting. Its lots of fun on the bench and requires very little cleaning when im done shooting.
BTW you will NEVER get the archery crowd in my state to share ANY portion of their season (before or after firearms) with flinters or any ML. It would never ever happen here. Also, ML tags and firearms tags are the same here. You will never get another buck tag here unless you take it with a bow. Conservation Area hunts being the only exception and those are lottery only.
