Henry and SmokeWagon 10/06/16

Post by CT_Shooter » Sat Oct 08, 2016 2:42 pm

I got to the range again on Thursday. I shot 75 rounds of handloads from each of my guns, the Henry H006M rifle and the Uberti SmokeWagon SA revolver.

As usual, I shot the rifle standing and off hand; I shot the revolver standing, one handed. All three targets for each gun were pretty similar, though these two were the best of each. I still need to tap that front sight on Henry a bit more, but I'm getting closer! And, I still need lots more practice with the revolver, but the fun is in the shooting, so more practice is always a good thing.

The Henry always gets attention from other members who normally tell me how beautiful it is or ask if it's a Henry with a smile and they go about their business, but this time I let one of them who was particularly impressed to shoot a few rounds. As he finished, he smiled a huge grin and said, "I can see myself liking this a lot!" -- which -- as we all know -- is quite the understatement. It was a fun day for me... and it was a great day for him.

These targets are my shots.

The usual "smoking-good" targets, CT. And nothing wrong at all with your revolver POIs. It shows the practice you've been doing. ;)

What does sound like much fun is letting a range neighbor try out your BBB. Glad you gave him "a great day!"

MAG-nificent with both. Good looking targets for sure. Way to go. Plus another hopelessly hooked Henry addict on his way to his LGS to satisfy his craving. :)
