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.

Shotgun Life now hosts a single site for all of the Beretta Trident Program experiences. In one place you can find information on the affiliate destinations that provide the best in wing shooting, clays shooting and big-game hunting around the world.

The Beretta Trident Program is the first and only system to rate shooting sports venues. Not an endorsement for purchase, “Tridents” are awarded for excellence – like Michelin^® stars are for restaurants.

While emphasizing the outstanding hunting or shooting experience, the evaluation system recognizes and rates everything from the food on the table to the kennels for the dogs. A Beretta Trident venue represents the best of the best, with only 5% of destinations worldwide considered good enough to merit even one Trident.
