EAST ALTON, IL (July 1, 2024) — Winchester Ammunition introduces a high velocity steel shotshell for waterfowl hunters that live to hear the buzz of early-season teal. Available in 12 gauge 2 ¾ inch and 3 inch, XPERT® Teal features high-velocity payloads that provide increased range and allow for shorter leads on fast-flying teal.
XPERT high velocity steel shotshells have long been considered one of the most dependable and consistent performing shotshells among waterfowl hunters.
Some wise guy once described my clays shooting as “moments of brilliance.” Riding a rollercoaster of inconsistency, my typical great shot is not seeing the target (where is it? hey look up) until the very last opportunity then powdering it three feet from the ground. And of course there’s the catalogue of easy misses, you know, the overhead outgoers, streaking quartering-away targets and those evil rabbits that always seem to bounce just when you pull the trigger.
Then one day, shooting 5-Stand with the crew, smashing one target after another, I heard from down the line “Hey, Irwin, what happened to you?”
Simple answer: the Blaser F16 Pro Series.

Quail Forever volunteers are the front line of quail-habitat preservation. Not only do they proudly get their hands dirty when it comes to land restoration, but local chapters harness the power of their community to funnel resources into the national organization in support of conservation through lobbying, education, and relationships with government and non-government agencies, which all get behind the common goal of safeguarding quail through methodical land stewardship.
Several of Quail Forever’s go-to partners are the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Working Lands for Wildlife (WLFW), Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS), as well as the non-profit organization Tall Timbers. Tall Timbers pioneered prescribed burning to promote healthy quail landscapes, beginning in its own backyard of the legendary bobwhite quail belt called the Red Hills Region that encompasses North Florida and South Georgia.

For most of us, spending $6,000 on a bird gun is no trivial indulgence. You shoulder it, examine it, consider the possibility of owning it, shoulder it again, everything feels right, looks right, you can see yourself owning it, the seduction begins, this flirtatious dance in your mind taking place bounded by the hard financial calculous: is it really worth the money?
The 28-gauge Fasuti DEA SLX side by side certainly made a great first impression towards answering the question. Unboxing the Italian shotgun revealed an emerald-green Negrini hard case with the Fausti logo in gold complemented by three gold-washed combination locks. Popping it open reveals a deeper green plush padding holding in place beige suede guns socks with the Fausti coat of arms protecting the barrel/forend and stock.
