As a soaking wet "dyed in the wool" Trad Bowhunter myself, and family all with bows, I pretty much figure that my daughters (and son) are most likely not going to be able to pull 40# when they start hunting.
I own a Zouave .50 call sidelock percussion that I hunted with before I got into Archery, and most likely will start my kids out with a ML.
My Rifle is too heavy for them, and I own 2 CVA kits to make a .50 rifle and a "Philadelfia Derringer", also .50. that my father bought back in the '70s.
My wife says she wants to build them, but I know she probably won't.
I could build them myself, but feel that the rifle would also be too heavy for them.
Thinking I should try to sell/trade for a smaller and lighter .45, but not decided, as the satisfaction of building (actually just assembly and finish) might lend something to the whole experience.
What are your thoughts, should I hang onto the kits, and plan on ..some day.....
or sell/swap ?
Just so you understand, I really dont know when/if I actually would get around to putting the kits together, and my daughter (
is beginning to study for her "Hunter ED"
