Other than nostalgia what is it that makes Sweet Sixteens, "sweet"?
Suggest you call Browning if you want to find out the actual facts......
I believe "Sweet 16" was an advertising slogan capitalizing on the common saying "Sweet 16 and never been kissed"...Browning ran with it to make their A-5 16 different from the competition, naming their A-5 16
"SWEET 16".....and it worked, sales took off.......but Browning will give you the facts if you call them.......
be polite....
