New From Illinois

Post by Flinch » Thu Jan 10, 2019 11:55 pm

My nickname among those I shoot with competitively is Flinch. I started shooting in 1967 and have been a NRA member since 1968. I shot competitively for over 20 years and am a firearm instructor. I started reloading in 1988 to save money, but that didn't work out, I just shot more. I learned about shooting and reloading through trial and error, mostly error. :D

I owned a Henry Frontier for several years and sold it off to buy a Golden Boy, because I like the way they look. It won't be long before I own a Henry centerfire lever gun to keep my Golden Boy and EMF Hartford company in the gun safe.

I have already learned a thing or two from the Henry Rifle Forum and look forward to reading about other shooter's experiences.

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.......
