Shot a lever action match today

Post by jkrijt » Sun Nov 17, 2019 2:55 pm

For the third time this year, the WLASSH (Winchester Lever Action Shooters Society Holland) had organised a lever action shooting match. This time it was in Bussum, in the center of the Netherlands. It was more then one and a half hour driving but it was a nice match. I attended in both the 25 meter and the 50 meter match.
I did not shoot very well today but I had fun anyway and I was happy to talk to the Dutch importer of Henry rifles, about some issues with my rifle.
Jan from The Netherlands
- Henry "Small Game" .22lr
- A few CZ rifles and a pistol
- Uberti Cattleman revolver
- Two Diana Air rifles, one in .17 (it is from 1974) and one in .22 (also old)

A problem with my trigger (http://henryrifleforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7384) and I need a higher front sight.
Ofcourse I also admired the Henry rifles that they on display
We had a good conversation and I trust they will solve my problems.

Yes I shot my Henry and although most fellow shooters use Winchesters, some use Henry's and most shooters I spoke with, liked the Henry's.
