Does anyone out there make a youth model .50 cal percusion? I think that CVA used to make one, but I can't find one now. I don't want to spend a fortune for a rifle that he will use for only 7 or 8 more years. My 7 year old likes to shoot my .50 hawken but the length of pull is too long for him. He absolutely loves it. I let him measure and pour his own powder but he is not strong enough to ram the ball yet. He does all of this under my direct suppervision. We load him up with 30 gr. Goex and he loves shooting it, he just needs to learn the open sights. I can't expect a sharpshooter out of a seven year old with open sights, but he will get the hang of it. :redthumb:
