Official Launch of the new Henry Firearms/Big Woods Bucks Long Ranger Carbine
FULTON COUNTY, NEW YORK – Seven years in the making, this event is the premier of a monumental collaboration between Big Woods Bucks (BWB) and Henry Repeating Arms as they nationally present the newly designed BWB Henry Long Ranger Carbine. The BWB Henry Carbine is designed for the mobile hunter – the trackers and still-hunters in the “big woods.”*
This Saturday June 13, executives from both BWB and Henry Repeating Arms will be at Frank’s Gun Shop for a grand open house to present nationally, for the first time ever, this new firearm.
“No better place to host this event then the Gateway to the Adirondacks in Fulton County,” – BWB Co-Director Strategic Partnerships, Mark Scheeren.
John Havlick, owner of Frank’s Gun Shop is honored to be chosen host of this national, highly anticipated launch site. For decades, Frank’s Gun Shop is a premier retailer with a serious obligation to quality, expertise, and an unwavering commitment to the art of responsible gun ownership.
