Championship athletes train diligently to achieve peak endurance, strength and skill within their competitive fields. Unfortunately, these efforts are all too often compromised by the neglect of visual performance. A lack of quality eyewear can lead to eye fatigue, an inability to focus, and the degradation of hand/eye coordination, depth perception, and timing. At Pilla, we make athletes’ vision better by providing the ultimate in visual equipment. The key to our competitive advantage is our partnership with ZEISS, which provides access to engineering expertise and technology few in the world possess. The end result is PILLA ZEISS Lenses. An unmatched color enhancing technology delivering clarity and defined contrast for the best athletic optical experience possible. |

Following hot on the heels of the most successful Winchester autoloading shotgun ever, the Super X3, the Super X4 offers the next level of performance. And for the first time, models tailored for left-handed shooters.
These new left-handed versions of this award-winning shotgun match their right-handed counterparts in every way. Most importantly, they feature the same unrivaled function, handling and ergonomics. This model has a non-glare, all-black exterior that helps prevent spooking game and makes it a dedicated hunting machine. The SX4 also includes critical functional controls that are large and easy to operate – a real benefit in damp weather and cold conditions.
If you're a lefty who has never had the experience of using a left-hand specific shotgun, you owe it to yourself to go to your dealer and bring an SX4 to your shoulder. The ergonomics of the SX4 are dialed-in, with a slim grip area that has been designed for comfort and pointability. The same goes for the forearm. Both have gripping panels positioned to help prevent slipping and the texture feels good against your hands especially when you are not wearing gloves.
- RECEIVER – Aluminum alloy; non-glare, matte black finish
- BARREL – Chrome plated chamber and bore; non-glare, matte black finish; Ventilated rib
- ACTION – 12 gauge, 3½” and 3”; Gas operated with Active Valve system
- STOCK – Composite
- FEATURES – Three Invector-Plus choke tubes (F,M,IC); TRUGLO fiber-optic sight; Inflex Technology recoil pad; Length of pull spacers; Larger cocking handle, bolt release and reversible safety button for faster operation; Sling swivel studs
Please Call the clubhouse and talk with one of our gun counter guys, Josh, Don or Rick. 403-337-2490

BEHIND THE SCENES AT A SHOOTING EVENT
Author: Luther Cutts, Head Instructor (NSCA Level 3) and shotgun competitor
Most of us roll in to the shoot grounds, visit with our friends, have fun shooting the course, enjoy a meal and some more visiting and then head for home. Unless you have been helping with the shoot, you are likely not aware of the amount of effort required to make the event a success. It is my hope that when you have finished reading this post, you will have an appreciation for the work that goes into making your shooting experience the best it can be.
