A few months ago I entered into a raffle with a local gun club. To my surprise, I received a call last Tuesday night informing me that I won a new gun. It's a Henry lever action 22. I have always wanted a lever action and this is a great gun one to have. It's known for its butter smooth action and accuracy out of the box. I was able to shoot it on my way home from the gun store and it shot great. I only shot it at 25 yards but the groups were all about an inch. This last weekend squirrel season opened and I took old Henry out in the woods with me. I shot this squirrel scurrying across the tops of the trees in gully. Ryan Gebfert and I skinned it up and are going to try and tan the hide. Hopefully it turns out better than the squirrel Kenny and I tried to tan in high school. Kenny and I nailed it to a board, salted it, and left it there. That squirrel is still nailed to the same piece of wood in my parents garage back home and is as hard as a rock. My dad and brother are coming into town this weekend and we are going to head back up to the range to do some more target shooting.
