Hello from Minnesooota:

Post by cooperhawk » Fri Jan 18, 2019 11:23 am

Been shooting most of my life. Got my first 22 at age 12. I am on my third Henry now. 22 Golden Boy, 17 Varmint Special, and now a 357 Mag brass receiver Big Boy.

We live on a primitive lake in forty acres of woods and have been here since 1983. I don't shoot much on the property because it scares the critters away, but belong to two ranges and shoot at least once a week.

Welcome from the beautiful Show-Me-State, Cooperhawk!

You sure have chosen some purty-looking Henrys, especially the GB and a .357 BBB. Lots of bright & shiny accented by beautiful walnut furniture. Are your Henrys newer, or you've broken them in well already?

Sounds cool that you keep your forty-acres as a safe, quiet sanctuary for your critters. Good for you....good for them. :)
Enjoy the Forum!

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
