I had been looking for a Golden Boy .22 Youth for my girls for quite some time. Saturday I was at FBT looking around and spied a non Golden Boy Henry on the wall. I couldn't resist the urge and it came home with me. I shot it on Saturday, man what a fun little gun. Even a youth feels fine for a full size person. My 7 year old shot it and had fun but it was still a bit too long. I can't wait until the 9 year old gets her turn.
