Is Krieghoff ready to unleash the best high-rib sporting gun ever to hit the market? We shot a prototype of Krieghoff’s forthcoming K-20 Pro Sporter, and our conclusion is that the shooting dynamics of the gun are unparallel. The balance, weight and handling surpassed any other high-rib clays gun we’ve shot. The K-20 Pro Sporter won’t be available until Spring 2012, but you can find out about it today exclusively on Shotgun Life at www.shotgunlife.com.

for your money. On Shotgun Life at http://www.shotgunlife.com/.

“Sporting Clays on the Bourbon Trail” takes us to Primland –
a place we called America’s Most Beautiful Sporting Clays Course. Primland is a
lodge for the 21st century. Its architecture and cuisine completely
redefine what you can expect for the shotgun sports. Follow Shotgun Life in our

The Confessions of an Average Clays Shooter is a new Shotgun
Life column penned by Ken Hartshorn. Ken is a technical writer during the week,
but on the weekends he hits the clays courses. What’s on Ken’s mind? “What’s it

why a particular product was picked over another, what sorts of mistakes were
made?” We think Ken is on to something. If you agree go to http://www.shotgunlife.comand scroll down a
