Preparing a Flintlock Pistol | Muzzleloaders 101

Since I am primarily a pistol shooter and had been taking part in active muzzle loading pistol competition for little more than a year, I knew I had a lot to learn, also if I were to participate at Friendship I would need a flint pistol that “shot where it looked” in addition to my .44 caliber percussion dueller.

Flintlock Timing by Larry Pletcher | Muzzle Blasts Archives 1990

,

The equipment that I use to time locks consists of a computer and interface made to scientifically measure time in a high school or college physics lab. It has the ability to measure times to the nearest ten thousandths of a second. The lock is fired electrically, and time is measured until a flash in the pan triggers a photoelectric cell, stopping the clock.

The idea for this gun came to me on a deer hunting trip in November 1985, while canoeing down the flooded Muscata­tuck River in southern Indiana in pursuit of whitetail. I had seen several does, but no bucks. It seemed, however, that in every other tree there was a squirrel. Normally, our gray and fox squirrels are very shy, but a week of being trapped by floodwaters had made them careless.
