Hello from the Netherlands

Post by jkrijt » Sat Apr 06, 2019 4:16 pm

Hello,
My name is Jan (that is a boys name in the Netherlands) and I own a Henry 'small game' rifle in 22lr and I enjoy shooting it.
I wanted a Henry lever action for a long time but could not find an importer in the netherlands but now there is one, so I ordered my Henry at the end of last year.

I am a member (and board member) of a local shooting club and every Monday afternoon, I am at the shooting range, practising for competitions. I attend several dynamic competitions with my other rifles and a pistol and I am also a member of the 'Winchester Lever Action Shooters Society Holland', a club for lever action riffle shooters only (not just Winchester) and shoot competitions with that club. I hope to buy a .357 Henry some day but until then I enjoy the .22lr.

Greetings from the Netherlands

Hey Jan! Glad you joined us. Obviously, you are already a shooter.

I have the Henry BBS in 357. I highly recommend it. It is an easy and effective rifle.

Enjoy your time here. Lots of knowledgeable and friendly people.

There is no greater protection against evil on the rampage than a loaded firearm in the hands of a free man.

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.......
