Shotgun

How a shotgun feels when it’s thrown up on your shoulder is typically our first and most important impression. However that first impression can sometimes be wrong, I’ve had several shotguns that felt really good but never delivered when it was time to hit the targets.

In order to become a better shooter, you need to train with people who are not only better shooters than you but are also excellent teachers. Daniel Horner has drafted some of the best shooters and trainers in the world to create a library of quality video training you can access 24/7: OnVirtus.com (and there’s a discount code inside).

A bullpup shotgun offers more maneuverability in close quarters and competition situations. I think it’d be interesting to hunt with a super short weapon, as well, for fast target acquisition and less fatigue from carrying a long gun. Rock Island Armory’s new VRBP100 is just 32″ overall but maintains a full 20″ of barrel length for accuracy.

CZ-USA and the city of Little Rock, Arkansas have announced a new firearms manufacturing plant and North American headquarters to be built at the Little Rock Port. Construction will begin in the Spring of 2020 and the new plant will offer 565 jobs.

Savage Arms has announced an update to their Stevens 555 O/U shotguns. The 555 has chrome-lined 28″ barrels with a single selective mechanical trigger and a black finish on the barrels and receiver.

The Retrograde to me says awesome hair, flight suit, and a really bad attitude cause Ronnie Reagan told us to. Holding it in your hands, you can almost hear the rotors spinning on a Huey and “boarding party to the flight deck” coming over the 1MC. That alone is worth the price.

The CZ 712 G2 shotgun is excellent. You’ll love everything about it, especially if you get the Green version. The look and finish, the way it comes up and points, the feel as it shoots–it’s all terrific. Even CZ-USA’s customer service is top notch.

It’s only natural; hunting is in our genes. Being the best is in our DNA. The evolutionary drive that the spoils go to the winner is built in our cells. So it only makes sense that when shooters and hunters are exposed to a shooting sport that mimics hunting wild game, we embrace it and use it as the yardstick to measure our skills.

Beretta is working on expanding their A400 Xtreme Plus series with new camo patterns and later this year, a left-handed model as well.
