Generally: If you have a Henry lever-action rifle (any vintage, any caliber), you're invited to participate. Shooting will be done in the offhand position. Any sights/scopes are allowed. The only real restrictions are that you can't add any attachments to the rifle that improve your hold (no cheek pads, slings, palm rests, etc). This is just a friendly competition that runs pretty much all year, and you can submit results as often as you like.
There are no prizes or rewards other than you feeling good about exercising your Henry and becoming a better rifleman in the process. HRAC is in no way endorsing or recognizing this competition.
If you're interested, stay tuned for a website address at which you check it out and decide whether or not you want to play.

For those interested in practicing, the following should be enough to get you going...
We'll be using the 10142 target that can be downloaded from this web site - http://targetz.com/targets10.htm (you may have to scroll down a bit). It's the target with a white center dot and alternating white/black rings. The target face is a 7-1/2 inch circle. The target comes in a PDF file - just open the file and print it to an 8-1/2x11 sheet of paper (you'll need four per range (50 yards and 100 yards).
Any shot that hits the paper scores points (this is especially good news for the open sight guys at 100 yards
). Points are awarded as follows
10 (center dot) - 9 - 8 - 7 - 3 (outside of the outer black ring)
Course of fire is 10 rounds per target face, four target faces per distance (50 yards and 100 yards). On my first test with this target, I shot the 50-yard course and got 35 of 40 shots on the paper. I'll be trying it again this weekend.
If anyone tries it this weekend, I'd be interested in your opinion of the "shootability", especially at 100 yards. Remember, shooting must be done offhand (free-standing, no sling, no attachments).
BTW, I'm going to be using my H001T .22 LR with a Marbles tang sight.
