    Jet,Nothing like a well tuned flinter. The smell of the powder, the puff of smoke from the pan and the joy of hitting center. What do you have? I've got a little .36 that shoots center if I can hold her right. Pensylvania full stock. I love it. Been wanting a big bore in flint for a while but just have not found one I want. I've also got a .62 hawkin style (old Sharon rifle)in percussion, Now talk about shooting center, this baby does. Enough about this though. Good luck and shoot center. Ed
