flint slow fire

[Roger Fisher]

Let me double up on what Dave Watson wrote. I leave the pick stuck in the vent while loading, holding it in place by closing the pan. Then I pull it out and prime. It goes off fast.

Ok, I'll be the first to mention:: We do not reccomend loading a flinter with the frizzen closed.  Dangerous, very!  You already know why

Make that times 3. I do it also and it works great!

Well , it's going much much better. I am following recommendations and i could say that it's now from fast to very fast and even the shooting is getting better . It was an accumulations of many little things . Now i need to work on that measurable flinching. I am down to about 1 1/2 at 25 yards on the bench . Here is my lame excuse i have been away from shooting for a while with range time it should be fine for fall. Maybe a few chucks at he end of the summer when the fields are cut.
Gents i thank you again.
