Gun Tests' focus is on performance before the bullet hits the target. 'We realize that results from our test gun can’t be extrapolated to every possible gun readers might own, we wanted to test ammunition in a fashion most consumers would be able to duplicate, and in fact, should conduct on their own. But our framework can potentially save you money and time by narrowing the list of candidates you might try in your own gun, and you can also follow our system to see if a given round performs for you like it did for us.

Henry Donates 50 Rifles to NRA Youth Programs

FAIRFAX, Va. -- The National Rifle Association is pleased to announce that Henry Repeating Arms has donated 50 Henry Lever Action Youth Rifles to NRA's Youth Programs Department.

"Henry Repeating Arms takes great pride in continuing our strong support of youth shooting sports programs," said Anthony Imperato, President of Henry Repeating Arms.

The Henry Lever Action Youth Rifle is a .22 caliber firearm featuring an American walnut stock, adjustable rear sight, 12-round capacity, and a 13-inch length of pull. Each donated rifle also comes with a gun case.

Numerous shooting sports programs for youth will benefit from the donation, including NRA Youth Cooperative Organizations such as the Boy Scouts of America, 4-H, Royal Rangers, National High School Rodeo Association, and the National Scholastic Sportsman's Program, among others.

The rifles will be given as prizes and used during shooting events and training. For the past two years, NRA's Youth Programs Department has provided Henry rifles to the National High School Rodeo Association to support their Light Rifle Championships.

"These rifles from Henry Repeating Arms will help to further youth shooting sports programs across the country. Many young people will have the chance to use these rifles for training and competition. We thank Henry for their continued support and dedication to keeping youth involved in the shooting sports," said Larry Quandahl, Manager of NRA's Youth Programs Department.
