I started my sons on the Appalachian trail at ages 3 & 5. It took us about 12 hours hiking to cover 8 miles over 3 days on that first outing. I let them stop and play at every creek crossing.
They’re now 13 & 15 and we’ve done some grueling backcountry hunting and experienced some misery...
I’m 3/3 successfully using shilen #2 and #3 contour pre-fits on old (built in 1898-1910) Swedish Mausers.
With the oldest I recently put 20 shots in 4 inches at 315 yards. Plenty good for hunting!
