Those rock locks can be tough to shoot well. Even a well tuned lock with a sharp flint has a longer lock time than a modern rifle. They can be fired very accurately, though. A guy I knew had a target in his shop he was very proud of - 75 yd offhand and 5 in about 3/4". When I complimented him on his shooting, he said, "Yep, that got me second place."
