Shooting Steel with the Pump

I took the opportunity to exercise some new, relaxed, rules at our local Range. They are allowing some rimfire 22 action at closer distances than before. So I took some of my 22s to check it out. Lots of fun. The Henry Pump with Fiber Optic (TruGlo) sights was fun at 30 and 50 yards against a 12" steel gong.
Here is the link to the Video:

nicely done .... this is the first video I've seen featuring the Henry pump ... have you had to make any adjustments to the sights

Good video and nice shooting - you rang that steel like it was 50ft away instead of 50 yds. Not bad for an Airforce guy...

Well, since I swapped out the stock Henry sights with the TruGlo sights I'm really liking this Henry Pump. The rear TruGlo is easily adjustable for both vertical and windage. When I went to 50 yards (second clip), you will notice that the impacts were a little lower so I could have adjusted the sights but I didn't do it that time. On the third clip, I just adjusted my aim point a little.

from watching some younger shooters at various ranges, Kentucky Windage almost seems to be a lost art .... enjoyed the videos, it fun watching someone who is able to make changes on the fly while making it look easy

Nice shooting!
I love the Henry pump action - I start smiling as it goes into the range bag and it doesn't come off for a fortnight after.

Very nice, I enjoyed the split screen during the shooting portions. Well done.

Nice video, wish I had that skill. I too use a pump on steel. We shoot NRA smallbore cowboy sihlouette at the Tehama Shooters Club here in Redbluff CA . My pump with Skinner peeps seems almost perfect. The youngsters are much more enthusiastic with steel targets.
