If you were noticing the hammers falling, then your eyes probably weren't on the bird, so that might account for a couple of misses. People shooting flintlocks for the first time have the same problem.
I normally shoot in the 19 - 21 range, so an 18 with a new gun is very respectable!
I can imagine that people would have a bigger problem with flintlocks with the falling hammer AND that puff of smoke but yea, I need to learn to ignore the falling hammers. I still need to make it a littler longer though. I prefer a 14 3/4-15" LOP if I can manage it. Still, I do not want to damage that gun. I'll put up with the LOP if it meant I had to hack it up. anything that survived over 100 years deserves some respect.
