Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry
New 44 Magnum Big Boy Silver
New 44 Magnum Big Boy Silver
I have taken my new Henry out to my indoor range to get used to it. This was 10 shots from 70'. My local indoor range only goes to 25 yards. I did not go all the way to 75' because the range lighting falls off and does not work well with my 60 year old eyes.
All in all, I am getting used to the buckhorn sights. There were a couple "fliers". I really cannot call them that, but had to try.
I am very impressed with the firearm as are others at the range. It gets a lot of questions and looks. Others ask to shoot it and are impressed with the quality etc.
I am looking for the weather to turn to at least 40 degrees so I can shoot outside at a range.

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.......

Great looking target! "Fliers!" That's hilarious!
Thanks for sharing. Would love to see pics of the rifle, too, when you get a chance.

Re: New 44 Magnum Big Boy Silver
Excellent target results, including those "fliers." And what always impresses me is when someone uses the buckhorn sights that well, even with "60-year-old eyes." Actually, any age eyes + the buckhorn impresses me. Good shooting.
I also would like to see some rifle pics. Haven't seen that many shots of a BB Silver.
Thanks for your Range Report.
Enjoy.

I will work on some photos over the next few days and post them.
I was impressed with the sights. I left them as the factory set them and all the shooting was from a standing position free hand. I was very pleaseda and at first sceptical of the buckhorn sights...
Thanks for all the comments!

I took the insert out on mine and opened it up to .135 which gives me a bit more open space around the front sight bead.mrowan wrote:I will work on some photos over the next few days and post them.

This helped me get centered on a target better and not lose track of the sight bead.
