New to the site and wanted to say hi. Just picked up my first flintlock and am looking for a place to learn a little more, well a lot more about it. Never fired one but I can't wait to start and am looking forward to meeting a lot of new people as well. Travis.

Okay ,if I read your post right, you just got a flinter and havent shot it yet...Well you still got a fighting chance.. NO, go ahead and suffer from the same flintlock addiction so many of us have on here... load her up, get a good sharp flint.. fill up the pan. and let her rip.. Then read the flintlock shooting tips if you happen to flinch. No,It will go away with experience.. Welcome to the forum.

Welcome aboard! I am just west of Savannah, what type of rifle?
Thanks again everyone. I picked up a Traditions flintlock from a feller that was in need of money and wanted to unload it. The rifle was already assembled but still hasn't been fired. I got the rifle, flint, leather, pan punch, GOEX FFFg, 4F, 100 round balls, 100 TC pillow ticking patches and a bottle of #10 copper cutter all for $100. I have no idea how to use any of it. It's been about 20 years since I have shot a BP anything but I figured for the price I couldn't pass it up. So that's why I'm here, to learn how to do it correctly and most importantly, safely. I'm an avid shooter just ready to learn something new.
