Henry Rifle Forums

I have been watching the birthdays and it appears that I’m the oldest one around (81). I don’t know if thats good or bad, however I do have good health and still like to shoot several times a week.

Awesome. Good for you! I hope to be shooting for awhile also.

Old and healthy is most definitely good, Bill. I'm so very glad you're here to contribute to our forum. May you have many more trips to the range, many more beautiful carvings to complete, and continued good health.

Just don't act your age. I think that's the key.

Good health is a great blessing, so I'd say being 81 is just fine!

And at that age, shooting "several times a week" is a good way to go.
Keep on keeping on, and enjoy each outing and day!

Im 66 Bill all the old guys I work with call me a punk. There 71 and 72 the owner is 92 so I guess I am just a punk. One thing I might add is I ride a bicycle about 130 miles a week and they cant so they can call me whatever they want. Enjoy your shooting I hope you have many more years of it.

Reaching the age of 81 is a privilege not afforded to everyone. Enjoy, especially if you can get out and shoot that often.

Growing old is mandatory - growing up is optional.

Born May 1934 so I guess I got all you young whipper-snapper beat, glad I could remember what year I was born!

and, I am the wisest and smartest, and best looking....
...pleased to meet you!

A competition for this title could become the next Henry Forum contest! Say something wise, take an IQ test, and submit an 8x10 glossy photo. No bikinis, please.

Mankini allowed?

I have seen more in my 68.7 years than some that's older than I. My point age ain't nothing but a #...lol

Like the way BigAL52 puts it:
"Young guys should hang out with old guys cause old guys know something"

Here's to the old guys!

I am a 60 year old punk!
