DocMedic Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) Benelli USA is pleased to announce the formation of Team Benelli, a veteran group of 3-gun shooters, all of who are top-placers in the sport. These shooters rely on their Benelli shotguns for competing at the highest level on the national 3-gun competition circuit. Team Benelli Builds Roster of Seasoned 3-Gun Shooters It only took what 10+ years for them to do this? Edited April 12, 2011 by DocMedic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Looks like the landed some of the best shotgunners in the country. I am especially impressed by junior Katie Harris making the team. Very cool for our sport indeed! I guess now I can start being vocal about liking Benellis for 3 gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckS Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I am guessing they were forced into it by the presence that FN is making and the potential of Jerry at Mossberg... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastarget Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 competition between manufacurers is always good for the shooters, product evolution, competitive pricing, better support (benelli needs to work on that part) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cool for our sport indeed! I guess now I can start being vocal about liking Benellis for 3 gun. I was in the squad behind Katie at SMM and got to watch her shoot several stages. She is a very impressive shooter! Not to mention only being a junior, we will be seeing her name for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninemmbill Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Congratulations ladies and gentlemen! I didn't know Julie G. shot 3 gun? I heard she was going to start this year, and I guess this only adds to that. Benelli sure locked in some of the greats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtm Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Benelli has assured us that they will be involved in prize tables and support for 3-gunners, it is a large part of why a lot of us signed on. They are taking this seriously and even sent a large part of their staff out to Rock Castle for a little 3-gun class from Jeff Cramblit, Jerremy Parker, Ben Fortin, and Katie Harris. This is a definit win for the 3-gun world in general! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtm Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Well I talked with them today, and they are trying like mad to get us all a bunch of 21" barrels, but it won't be real soon as importing is the hold up, but look for good things to happen around the middle fo the year.

gohuskers Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) This is great news! Although I wonder whether this will have effect on sponsored shooters being able to attend the FN events and use the FN guns on TV - Kurt care to comment?

P.E. Kelley Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 This is great news! Although I wonder whether this will have effect on sponsored shooters being able to attend the FN events and use the FN guns on TV - Kurt care to comment? I can field this one. It is not a problem at all. Benelli is fully aware of the match formats and shoot-off obligations. Let's shoot! Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
