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.

Fun is always more important than score.

A problem with my trigger (

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.
