I am a beginner.  I intend to go the range with my hawkin for sighting/practice
It is my understanding that black powder can fowl a barrel very quickly.  
 
How many shots can I get off before I must clean the gun?

I am new to hunting. I am wondering if anyone has any wisdom on a little
problem that I have.
 
I usually shoot left handed because my right eye is not nearly as good as
my left one. (I am also left eye dominate.)
 
My hawkin and every flintlock or procussion cap gun that I have seen fitted
to shoot right handed. Shooting right handed is possible for me but difficult
and I do not have the money for a truly custom gun. What do you think?
 
I also have a corolary question: Why don't more individuals and gun
companies have and sell left handed weapons? It is my understanding that
often right handed individuals are left eyed. Are some left eye dominate
shooters simply being sloppy in their form?
