Maybe we should ask for a 25% raise?
Let's see, 25% of nothing is. . . :hmm: :haha:

I like my guns fast, poo or not. I shoot alot of skeet (or used to when I had time). My leads with a flintlock are no different than with a modern gun. I can tell no difference with the speed of my flint guns than with a hammer cartridge gun.Huntin Dawg said:Ignition speed doesn't matter.
If you don't have proper shooting technique nothing else matters.
Your flintlock can fire as fast as a centerfire (yeah right!) but if you don't have follow-through you won't have good groups or dead deer.
All the talk about ignition speed is pure poo in my opinion.
Now let's hear it.

Well, I for one am a little surprised at this comment...since many of us saw the original post as a humorous or tongue-in-cheek question, it must mean that's how it came across to a lot of folks...ie: it read as if Flintlock ignition speed really wasn't important at all.Huntin Dawg said:Amazing! 15 replies and only about 3 of them are remotely serious. The rest are rambling about poo.

Twice boom said:"But IMO, Flintlock ignition speed is the ultimate trump card, because with relatively little effort I can ensure mine is very fast all the time,""
By that you mean you wrap your flints with led..... :rotf:
Twice..

Nothing humorous about the original post at all. He did use the word "poo" rather than a harsher word, but all that got him was a bunch of adolescent poo jokes. God help the newbie who thought they'd get some serious answers here.

Thank you.
With this thread I was merely offering my 2 cents about the whole ignition speed thing. My point is simply that if you don't have good shooting form and follow through speed doesn't matter.
Your rifle could go spitter, spatter, pfffft, spark, flash, and then boom and as long as you have good form and follow through you'll hit what you're aiming at.
For everyone who had fun with the word poo, I'll try to use a more manly word for BS next time.

With all due respect, its easy for somebody to sit out on a limb and watch a thread develop like this one did, where multiple people obviously misunderstood your wording, THEN that somebody makes a post that "passes judgement" on other people's responses...and you thank them for it??
HD, your post unfortunately had some words in it that were misunderstood by multiple people...and I'm sure none would have responded the way they did had it not been for that misunderstanding...it's not the end of the world... :wink:
