Henry Rifle Forums

Just shooting a little contest target for another forum. Must be only 6 shotS, 2 per bottle at 25 yds off hand. Nice day, 60F and a little windy. But got 'er done, not bad considering my eyes turn 64 next week. Must be from watching Bugs Bunny eat all those carrots when I was a kid.

Frontier .50 cal
50 grains Triple 7 powder
.490 lead ball
.015 patch


Great fun but a tough target!!




Shoot safe!!
RR

I wouldn't doubt that you win that contest!

Nice shoot'en RR. Alway more fun when you have a little competition pressure going on.

RR only competition is himself. Now get the flintlock out and show us Davey Crocket

A young lady RCMP officer was at the range doing her annual re-cert. She got to shoot the muzzleloader. First time black powder shooter. Loved it! Another one converted !!

Good deal we need more BP shooters for sure. I know lately for me I have no interest in my other guns at all. Except for 22 because I dont need to reload or pick up the brass.

Ya I need to shoot my Henry sometime before I forget how it works....

I had an old knife sheath that had a belt loop on it, I cut it down and made a belt through slot so I can carry my regular knife cross draw instead of hanging straight down. Much more comfortable because now it does not move around. Tucked in nice.

nice belt loop mod .... also, nice six shot target ... I'd put a Coke on your chances to win

RR can most likely do as well on that target at 50yds to. He just getting warmed up at 25!

Appreciate the kind words.
