    A Flintlock Has Been Loaded for 5 Years. What Do You Think Will Happen When The Trigger Is Pulled?

    I, uhm, did something similar once. At the range a few 6 or 7 years ago, i was just getting in to front stuffers, shooting my Traditions .50 Pennsylvania flinter very slow and deliberately, explaining every step for the benefit of my buddies 9 year old son.

    Congrats on the does. I'm in 5d, but do most of my hunting in 3a and 5c, just not enough woods or willing landowners in the Philly 'burbs. Hopefully I'll get out at some point. My older brother is the one whovsyarted me hunting years ago; now he just bought his first front stuffer, a .50...
