Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry
Range withdrawals
Range withdrawals
Friday will make 4 weeks since I’ve been to the range and fired a Henry rifle! Between sickness, work and rain every darn weekend I just haven’t had the chance to go. It looks like more rain in the forecast for this weekend, too. Arrrhhhh!
Henry sent me a replacement rear sight and magazine tube. I’ve installed the rear buckhorn and need to sight the rifle in again. I’m chomping at the bit to go.

Re: Range withdrawals
One of these days I’d like to get into reloading. I think I would enjoy it. Right now it seems a bit overwhelming. Both in terms of the learning curve and financially. Also, I don’t have a place to set up shop for reloading.RanchRoper wrote:I hear ya...that's what tipped me over the edge to reload. Too long without any guns to think about!

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.......

Re: Range withdrawals
Yes the weather has been tough since last year if trying to do anything outside.
When you start reloading on those rainy days....every rain drop is a round loaded!
