Post by 1988rrc »

are there any special tips / tricks on shooting the 1860 Henry to keep your hand from getting warmed or burned (wear leather gloves??) due to no front wood stock?

Inquiring minds want to know. But, yep, gloves it is, or shoot really, really slow... and stay in the shade! :D

DON'T ASK ME HOW I KNOW, now there's the title of a topic if ever I saw one.

I shoot a Henry with BP, and I don't wear any gloves. I really don't see it as an issue.......but that's just me! :)

Here is a link to a thread with other more important safety tips relevant to the 1860 model Henry.

Spend a little time visiting with these folks, if you plan to spend any time with a Henry!
