Henry Rifle Forums

Just picked up my first Henry. I have a bear hunting trip in Maine coming up in September. It’s a trip my dad always wanted to take his two boys on. Decided I “needed” a new gun. Enter the Henry H010BWL. It shoots as good as it looks.

I am from Central PA. Grew up working at multiple gun clubs, shooting at every chance, and outdoors. Outside of that I am a fan of anything with a motor. I look forward to getting to know some people on here and will probably drive you guys and gals nuts with questions. Already debating on a peep sight and I just picked up a reloading kit. I hope I bring some knowledge as well as taking some with me.

Welcome to the forum from CT and congratulations on your new Henry. This is a great group of very knowledgeable and friendly folks. Glad you joined us.

Welcome to the forum. I really like peep sights over open. Be careful with the reloading thing as it is very addictive.

Welcome Keystone from Western North Carolina. Enjoy the forum!

Welcome from NH. good luck on that bear hunt. We have many in NH and wish they were hunted more. Have shot 2 over the years. practice that 2nd shot
as the first shot may kill them but it won't stop them unless it is a spinal shot. They have oversized adrenaline glands and most often they will get up especially the 300+ pounders.

Very true!...good advise.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I started getting my reloading bench in order tonight. I think I have things where I want them for now. Now to buy some consumables and start loading.

I am looking forward to the trip not necessarily because of the hunt but because it’s a lifetime trip for my dad. He always wanted to hunt bear in Maine and he’ll get to live the dream with his sons. Remote camp with family for a week. It will be bonding or we will drive each other crazy. That’s how family rolls.

Kudos to you for making it happen!!
