Thank you Billy. I will tell you, it's not a fluke. He has put in the time at the range to become a good marksman for age 12 and will continue to improve. He shoots .22 rifles and Gamo air rifles often We have a makeshift 50 yard range in our backyard. When the time came, he knew he could deliver an accurate shot. I think I was more nervous than him. =) iv come back on because what has really impressed me is this young mans shot placement, as far as i am concerned for someone hunting meat it is about perfect, height and right behind the shoulder. Young man you are welcome to come over the ocean here and stalk with me anytime you like. Dad has done a good job teaching. Oh you can come as well dad, lol Regards Billy

WELL DONE YOUNG MAN Tell me i have neve fired a 50 cal muzzleloader,or any other muzzleloader, does it kick like a donkey or not. Well doe pair of you Regards Billy Billy, in my mind, a muzzle loader is the perfect gun to teach kids with. Kick, or recoil, is directly related to the powder load and weight of the gun. I prefer a wood stock for kids. I started my daughter at 30 grains of pyrodex with patched round ball in her 50 caliber with a range limit of 35 yards. It wasn't long at all before she would burn a quarter pound of powder by herself at the range. I saw quarter pound because I learned real quick to ration her. She quickly stepped up charge and range. She shoots 90 grain now and has range of 120 yards. 76, congratulations to you and your son. Fantastic shot!
