Henry Rifle Forums

A few pics from today's get together. About 60 folks shootin' and eaten' and talkin'. A few wives, and very young kids. Great people, great food, great shootin', and great weather. I took these just as things were getting started.

Looks like you guys had fun.

Sure looks like a great time.

It was. And I think I sold a guy on a Henry. He shot my .41mag BBSC, and fell in love, so I expect he'll order something soon.

They do attract that attention. Looks like fun.

agree on it looking like a good time all the way around .... how often do you have these gatherings and who sponsors them

Hard to say. This one was put together by the guy shooting that .338 Lapua. This was the 1st one near me, but there are a lot of ranges in MS. This range is owned by a local training outfit In Columbus, and they were kind enough to let us use it for free. IFP Tactical: https://ifptactical.com/ . They do a lot of training for local law enforcement as well as private citizens, and church/school security people, and have a very good reputation locally.

And before anyone asks, yes - suppressors, and full auto is allowed. Several folks brought theirs, and everyone shared whatever they brung.

I also found out how my carry ammo (Hornady 9mm+P Critical Duty) performs against a vehicle. Shooting at a old SUV from about 40yds thru a passenger door at about a 20deg angle. Penetrated well but the nose folded over so very little expansion, and it took a slight left turn and dropped a little before burying itself in the opposite door panel. If there had been a person in the seat nearest the door it would have struck at about liver area.

Id be all in on something like that looks like a great time.

sounds like a well planned/run get-together .... I hope it will lead to others for you guys .... interesting report on your Hornady 9mm+P Critical Duty ammo .... in my book, most impressive

I've shot barriers before with it from square on and it always expanded, so I wasn't really expecting it to fold up like it did. Useful to know stuff like this.

Here's a pic of the same SUV (Jeep) after it got blasted by one of the other shooters with various shotgun rounds at closer range.
