So I've been drooling over the Howdah ever since I started shooting BP a couple of years ago, but I've never been able to justify the cost. I just checked Cabelas website, and the 20x20 Howdah is on sale for $650. Normal price is 750. Now, I know I shouldn't blow 650$ on another gun right now, but I really really want to. So, a couple questions for y'all.
1-Is that a pretty decent price that I should jump on?
2-What accessories am I going to need to get up and running with this beast? (holster and such can wait a while)
3-Anything I should know about the Howdah?
4-Talk to me about shooting one with a shoulder stock vs. freehand.
5-20ga slugs out of this one? Is that going to be a realistic shooting experience? I see the .58 rifled barrel is no longer carried by Cabelas.
My current experience with BP is playing with an 1858 NMA and an 1851 Navy Sheriff.
I have no illusions of hitting anything with it, but words can not express the level of pleasure I would take in annoying the codgers at the local trap range with something like this. Just one round, that's all I ask.
