Diggin through some pics and thought I had better share this one! The photo was taken at a territorial shoot hosted by the Fort Osage Muzzleloaders in Missouri last Spring.
The club photographer, Gary Zumwalt, took the awesome shot! There was ignition too, incase anyone wonders 😂! I am shooting my early Lancaster 50cal. 38" Rice swamp with deluxe Siler lock.

thats a great shooting technique!!!!!

i am a left handed shooter. when i was 13yo, my dad got me a right handed flintlock in tc hawkins. i closed my eyes for the flash for 2 years until i got a left hand fl in lyman deerstalker. it took me about a year to keep my eyes open.

I told the lefty that his arm might get burned if he held the gun like he normally would so we better cover him, up.

I learned this lesson the hard way by handing my Lancaster rifle to a lefty friend without thinking about his arm, It burned him and it was my fault.

Ha ha, not about the youngster, but being reminded how I allowed another shooter to burn me. I was at Missouri shoot in my early years with lots of shooters. The line was packed, but they shouted "FLINTLOCK" when they were going to fire. (no flash guards) The guy on my right yelled "LEFT HANDED FLINTLOCK" , but the left handed did not click with my brain. I had a tee shirt on and he drew blood. That never happened again 😂

I was wondering why he had his arm covered up. Inquiring mind you know, and I'm a lefty. I think that's why I started with cap locks and didn't get into rock locks for many years, when I could finally afford to have a left hand rifle made with my long armed length of pull and the perfect amount of cast on.
I'm still working on my flash flinch but that'll come in the next few years. 😉

Years ago I took my friend to the range to shoot my scoped CF rifle which was set up for me, a LH long arm goon. He had recently completed Marine basic/boot camp(?) and of course, stated that he needed no help shooting my low power deer gun, given what he had handled. Just before I could tell him not to shoot until he adjusted the eye relief he pulled the trigger and it was off to the infirmary for stitches! He grumbled the entire time when I reminded him that I had paid for both him and I to occupy the shooting lane only to fire once and leave. I'm glad you took those young men shooting and hopefully they will always be aware and guard their right to keep and bare arms.
