[Firearms News] Squirrel season began on September first in Ohio, and in late October, the son of Editor-in-Chief Vincent DeNiro, Matthew DeNiro, made an incredible shot with a .22 LR handgun.
"I was standing in the foyer of my house when my younger son Matthew said, ’I see a squirrel.’ He stepped out onto our front porch, GSG 1911 .22 pistol in hand. Once the door shut, I peered out of the window to see exactly where this squirrel was. I looked all over the front yard, and trees out to about 30 yards. No squirrel. As he took aim, I then saw a large brown squirrel at about 50 yards which just ran up a good-sized tree and it stopped about five feet up. I didn’t think he was going to hit it at that distance, but he did on the second shot! I measured the distance, and it was 162 feet or 54 yards. Wow." |
