Most of the time, I set up my own range in a canyon 12 minutes away. My grandson is with me, so we took off for the day.
Perfect day in Arizona, 55 degrees, light breeze, blue skies.

I ran through my Henry 45 and 357, about 100 rounds each plus single actions on steel at 50 yards to ring in the new years.

I started my grandson in April on his Henry 22 youth and gave him a Wrangler for Xmas. We worked on manipulation, loading, downloading, square box shooting skills etc. This is only the second day he has shot his Wrangler and third time on his Henry.
When I was done with the 45, he asked if he could try one shot. Now this is a 9 year old young man. I warned him it may kick a little but he was game. I got him set up on the stable table and he applied all he had learned on his 22. Low and behold, he hit the steel ! One shot, one kill.
I told him that today we were going to have fun with the rifles, so no targets, hit the steel. He loaded his Henry, settled in, and don't you know he hit the steel at 50 yards on Iron sights 14 times out of 17 rounds ! ! ! He would reload and do it again.

As if that was not enough, he shot the 70 year old Remington Bolt 22 I was trained on as a lad, and did the same thing ! ! !
The old man could not have been prouder of the newest generation. Got it on video, but don't know hot to upload.
