It's been a while for Henry...

I took Henry out after work today. I haven't shot the little .22 since I got the Winchester 94 30-30 (which I have nicknamed Emma, after my wife's LARP persona- it just seemed appropriate 
). I put some Federal AutoMatch through it, starting out with the fore on the bench and butt on a sandbag at 50yds. The Federal was shooting low and right. I adjusted the rear, then back to the bench/bag with 5 shots on a fresh (well, slightly used) target. Much better!
So I tried offhand after putting up a target with better contrast. Five quick rounds, go check the results. Repeated 2 more times. I'm pleased with how I was able to keep focused while cycling the action. (I knew that one round in the second set went low...)
Also had fun shooting a hotplate I took off a commercial coffee brewer. Even painted red, this thing was hard to see in shadows and after 6pm! It's only about 5" in diameter, and I was seeing 2 blurry ones focusing on that front blade!
I know these reports don't show great marksmanship. I'm not producing quarter sized groups or such, and I'd probably have the squirrels laughing if I tried to hunt them. But I am having a good time, and writing it out like this helps me to remember what I did!
