Thought I'd try the 13 shots in 30 minutes thing today as per National competition rules in the back yard(I think it's National, as in Australian).
Well I didn't do so well [emoji52].
I managed 9 shots and even then I had to stop wiping between shots towards the end.
I did get a few flashes in the pan which slowed me right down.
Lesson learnt to have my gear layed out and be organised.
Also learnt the internals of the lock need some adjusting as its allowing the flint to strike the pan.
It doesn't touch it when slowly let forward but the inertia from the spring let's it hit it.
I don't know how high a quality the Lyman locks are but the Flints are gouging the frizzen a bit, even with the flint set every which way you can imagine. Is this something that would benefit from hardening?
Anyway, really enjoying shooting this and heres a pic of my 9 shot effort.
If I can lose the flinch I'll do a lot better [emoji3]
