youth muzzleloaders

[smweoj]

I have two daughters and a wife that hunt. They are wanting to start into muzzleloader hunting. I am curious what youth models are available and reliable. I have looked at the Rossi muzzleloaders because of there size. Is there any other brand out there that makes one similar to this size? I am also concerned about the reliability of a Rossi.

My wife and I both hunt, and while she is not the avid muzzleloader hunter that I am, she does enjoy going out in our late ML season ( flintlock only ) when she still has a tag left....she usually takes a deer with a bow or a rifle. But anyway... I bought her a T/C Pennsylvania hunter carbine model and she likes it very much. She has not killed a a deer with it yet only because the opportunity for a good clean shot has not come about. But it's light and fits her well...she's only 5' 4" tall with short arms and it has a single trigger with a large trigger guard so a gloved hand can still make the shot. Women and kids seem to get cold easy!!Maybe you don't wantto spend that kind of money for a starter rifle ....( T/C's are gettin' up there ) but they are quality gunsbacked by a lifetime warrenty....Just my $.02.....BPS

NEF makes a youth model too! It comes as a package w/ three barrels or just a ML.

Those little sidelock percussions guns by CVA and Traditions make super youth muzzleloaders. I'm talking about the CVA Bobcat, the Traditions DeerHunter, the Traditions BuckSkinner or similar. They are bare bones muzzleloaders, short,light weight, easy to load and plenty accurate enough for most hunting situations. Another plus is that they cost about $200 or less. Right now, you can probably find them on sale.
