New and happy to be here!!

Post by SittingBull » Thu Jul 15, 2021 3:54 pm

Hello New Friends,
Well covid forced me gratefully into retirement last year and had more time to spend at the Cherry Ridge range here
in North Jersey. As well, had plenty of rime to read and I focused on stories of the Old West and the Great Plains. Of course who could read such stories without stumbling onto frequent mentions of the guns that won the west. Henry, Spencer, Colt
and Winchester. Coincidently I ran into some folks at the range with some Henry's and it was love at first sight. I had to
find one. It was a difficult challenge here in north Jersey and after scrounging every gun shop in the tri-state area I was
blessed to find a Henry Frontier with a 20" barrel. A gorgeous rimfire. I leave the noisy guns at home now and bring my
pride and joy to the plinking/metal target range and relive my youth. I'm rambling......Glad to be here!!

Hey Chief! Well done on your search. Welcome from Nebraska.
Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.
