Dear Mr. Imperato,

My son, Peter, and I were thrilled to meet you and to see your entire product line at the NRA convention in Pittsburgh.

You had quite an impression on him; since meeting you, he has told the story over and over, perfecting his Brooklyn accent, when he quotes you, "I like the way you look, kid." Since he's only 8 years old, it's pretty funny to hear.

Thank you for making a great product that has made shooting so accessible to my son.

My five year old, Brooklyn, is holding her new Henry Mini-bolt.  A few years ago I bought one for my son.  Now that my girl is five thought I would let her try her brother's gun.  She liked shooting and asked Santa Clause for a rifle for Christmas.    Her favorite color is orange.  So when I saw that the Mini-bolt came with an orange stock I knew what she was getting for Christmas.

Dear Mr. Imperato,   Your little Mini Bolt is the best trap line rifle my grandson and I ever used. It's in the bed of my truck from Nov thru Feb enduring all weather conditions  and NEVER failed us once. My 8 year old grandson Butch has dispatched a lot of coon, fox and coyotes using the 22 CB Longs out of it. Enclosed is a picture of Butch.

Sir:

My boys (6 and 8) have enjoyed learning to shoot the minibolt. I am impressed with the quality and workmanship of this rifle. I bought it used, and it needed some external cleanup with a Scotch Bright pad and CLP. The bore and internals are in excellent condition and I foresee shooting them thousands of .22 rounds through it before they outgrow it and need to move up to your lever action youth model.

I will be visiting some of the local vendors on the list provided to start shopping for a Henry rifle for myself.

Thanks again,

I wanted to tell you how pleased I am with your rifles. I bought my grandson a single shot Mini Bolt and a pump 22. We're both thrilled!

Anthony, I am sending digital photos of the Cousins and Grandma with my original notation. I look forward to receiving the part for Andy's mini bolt. Thank you for providing the part that I needed for Andy's rifle. I am sending pictures - Andy (my Daughter's son) is 10 years old now & Zachary (my Son's son) got his mini bolt (from me & grandma) for his 6th birthday 7/9/08. Photo dated 7/5/08 is Zachary opening his birthday gift 4 days early (think dad Dan couldn't wait either). Photo dated 5/19/07 - Andy plinkin' with older sister Julie (12 now) and Grandma Jan (So young at heart). Thank you so much for this chance to demonstrate the pleasure these young people are having because you and other quality gun manufactures - A very special thank you to Henry Repeating Arms, Co., & Anthony. With regards,

I purchased a Mini-Bolt last month for my son's 8th birthday, and he has been very pleased with it. We bought a brick of .22s and headed to the range. Thank you for making such a quality product here in the USA, and allowing my son and I to enjoy some great shooting time together.

Hello Anthony,

Well better late than never I suppose, my wife's company had shooting night at the range and attached are some photos of my son (Joshua age 9) and I, and of course the Henry mini-bolt. We had a great time, he spots for me and I spot for him. Sorry I did not get back to you sooner.

Take care,

I thought that I would send a picture of my daughter Whitney and what she got for her birthday. At the 4H meeting tonight Whitney took her new H005 to show it off now I've got to go find 2 more H005 and find a H007 for the team. Thanks for making a great rifle the the kids.

Mr. Imperato

Thanks for the follow-up! Your email is a great touch in providing a customer connection to your product. After looking at various products on line and in the stores...I did purchase a "Henry Mini Bolt Youth" for my 9 year old girl and 6 year old boy....they love them dearly as there are safe, easy to shoot and gets on target just right for little shooters.

The "Henry Mini Bolt Youth" is a fantastic product...it is the perfect rifle for kids to gain confidence in the handling of a firearm so they can develop the skills for a lifetime of enjoyment in the shooting sports.

Thanks

I bought the mini bolt 22 for my 8yr old son on the advice of my dealer and it is everything that he said it would be. You are making a great product out of the box it was shooting awesome.

Thanks,
