Eider,
Welcome to the Forum; your post is well-received and you will get input from many great folks here. Allen and Lilred already gave you good input. I have 4 flintlocks and 4 percussion muzzleloaders. I am a Civil War re-enactor locally and carry a M1853 3-band .577 Enfield. I see the inlines and such coming along, but I hunt with flint and cap and keep my traditional focus. If you think about it, the technology came along for the original flinters and caplock folk once before. Lilred gave it a good summary; Do what you like best and that is fine. I like my trad hunting garb, powder horn and .54 flinter. Oh, my 8-point is at the taxidermist and will soon reside on my den wall. Be what you like and let the rest of the others do what they prefer, it is the American way. Meanwhile, put the fun back into whatever you like to hunt with. Be well.
Adam
