A nice story for Independence Day. Nice to see a positive story about a citizen using a firearm to help a living creature in need.

Glad all is well!

Best answer.

150 rounds of .22?
Story didn't mention he was a lottery winner too.

If this had been California he would have been cited for polluting the environment with 600 grains of lead.

I hope the 15 minutes of fame was worth it.

Where did he find .22 ammo?! [Coffee]

Kewl story.

For all the naysayers: If he was shooting at a thin piece of cord (say 1/8" wide) at approximately 70 feet away, that would be something like 0.2 or 0.3 MOA... at a moving target. With America's symbol of freedom only 4" away. Hit that bird and get crucified - right on Independence day.

Certainly a more difficult shot than 99% of the board members here would ever take in their lives. Although it is fair to ask where the other 149 rounds went?

As noted earlier, he shot the branch.
