Custom Carved Henry Golden Boy 22

A custom carved Henry Golden Boy 22 rifle will be raffled off at the upcoming banquet for the Cowboy Action Shooting Club, in Price, Utah. I was recently asked if I would donate a custom carving to the cowboy action shooting club. As you can see the Henry Golden Boy rifle shown above depicts the robbery of 1902 in Castle Gate Utah in which Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kidd robbed the payroll office. For more information and history on the Castle Gate Robbery and other adventures of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kidd you can visit the following web sites: www.wyomingtalesandtrails.com/butch2.html or http://climb-utah.com/Roost/rrhistory.htm.

This gun stock is the most detailed custom carving/sculpture I have accomplished to date. After I custom carved/sculpted the chosen design. I then hand painted the art work to make the scene on this gun stock a one of a kind masterpiece. I have also inlayed ivory on the check rest. It says “Castle Gate Robbery 2011″. Gun collectors everywhere will be envious of the person who will win this gun and add it to their gun collection. This gun stock will be a cherished work of art to be handed down from generation to generation.

The Castle Gate Possee Cowboy Action Shooting Club will be holding their annual Utah State Action Shoot Championship this July 14 through 16, 2011 in Price Utah. They have a schedule of times and places listed on their web site http://www.thecastlegateposse.net/. A banquet is being held Saturday July 16, 2011 at the  Elks Lodge in Price, Utah at 6:00pm. At which time this gun will be raffled off . All proceeds will go to the scholarship fund the SASS cowyboy action shooting club have set up. The banquet is the last event of the SASS Utah State Championship.  If you would like more information on the SASS cowboy action shooting club you can go to their web site www.thecastlegateposse.net .

I am going to do my best to attend the banquet. I will enjoy seeing who will win my gun. Good luck to all who enters the raffle for this beautiful one of a kind work of art. Deb
