A couple of years ago, I was trying to do some off-hand shooting with my Traditions Woodsman. I brought my support hand under the lock area so I could get my arm tight against my torso. But upon firing, my hand got hit with something coming out of the cap and it dissuaded me from ever shooting that way again. It wasn't bad. I don't remember it ever making a mark. But it certainly felt worse than sparks off an angle grinder. For off-hand shooting, how do you all hold your rifle? Is your support hand out on the fore-end like a shotgun or moving target? Or is it under the lock and just not getting any sort of spark from the cap? Do people wear gloves on their support hand? I see that some percussion rifles have a kind of cup under the nipple that might end up helping this problem. But my Woodsman doesn't have anything under the nipple other than a bit of the stock. I'm still pretty new to muzzleloading so forgive me if I'm missing something obvious.
