Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry
Good morning from NH
Good morning from NH
Good morning, I'm new to the forum and a new Henry Rifle owner. I bought a Single shot mod and gave it to myself for Christmas. I have been hunting deer for close to 50 yrs now and can not remember the last time It was necessary to take a follow up shot at a deer. That statement says more about my patience than it does about my shooting skills. I love hunting with my muzzle loader and have learned that one well placed shot will always get the job done. It is my opinion that the Henry Single shot is the best of the single shot rifles available. I am setting it up now to shoot at the range in the spring. I plan to carry it next fall during the NH firearms season.

You've said a lot about the Henry single-shot and hunting in your intro post. When I first became interested in firearms and hunting, I had both gun safety & hunting training. I learned (and always remember) that the first shot is the most important, especially to humanely harvest on your hunt. And patience during the hunt is a class in and of itself.
Good reminders to us all....thanks!

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

I chose the 308 win.. I already owned 2 Brownings and a Ruger Hawkeye in 308 and have taken many deer with the caliber.JEBar wrote:welcome indeed, happy to have you join our forum .... what caliber Henry did you choose .. .. looking forward to seeing your ongoing reports as you are able to spend time with your rifle .... feel free to read and post often, to begin your own threads as you did with this one or to jump into ongoing conversations .... please take a look at our How Many ? thread (link below) and add yours to our community's total

for my money, 308 is a top notch choice .... back in 1970 I bought a Belgium made Browning BLR 308 .... for 20 some years (the time period when I hunted the most) it was my only big game rifle .... with several other big game rifles in the vault, for most of 30 more years, it was the rifle I hunted with .... I've taken more black bear, boar, deer and elk with it than all of our other rifles combined .... do you load your own ammo .. .. if so, I'd be interesting to hearing what you choose for your new Henry
