The Hillsdale College John Anthony Halter Shooting Sports Education Center will host 2024’s Junior Oympic Development Camps. The camps, which are open to intermediate-to-advanced trap and skeet shooters ages 12-20, will take place from July 14 to 19 (Trap) and from July 21 to 26 (Skeet).

The Junior Olympic Development Camps are designed to help promising young shooters advance in the Olympic shotgun disciplines, providing Olympic hopefuls with advanced training from national team members, former Olympians, and world champions. “These are some of the most promising young shooters in the country — maybe even the world,” said Caitlin Connor Royer, assistant program development and competition manager for Hillsdale College’s Halter Center and multi-time World Cup Medalist. “These camps provide them with the coaching and mentorship they need to take it to the next level. USA Shooting is already one of the top programs in the world. Events like this ensure it will become even stronger.”

Following each camp, the Halter Center will host the Junior Olympic Championships for each respective discipline, meaning camp attendees —should they choose to compete — will have the opportunity to test their mettle against one another on the national stage. Read more

HAYMARKET, Va. –– SK Guns®, the Nation’s only series-driven, limited edition manufacturer of custom firearms, is proud to announce the release of the third edition of the Untamed Series of the world’s deadliest predators: “Luchando Tigre.” This latest production in the series combines a native ritual and a deadly predator into one remarkable installment.

“Luchando Tigre” comes from the native Atsatsilisti ritual in the Mexican state of Guerrero to offer blood to the god Tláloc and the earth in exchange for the rain necessary for a good harvest. Dressed in a tiger personification and equipped with a rope bathed in mezcal, the tribute’s shed blood is the offering required by Tláloc to send the rain. A deadly tiger is depicted wrapping around the slide leaping toward its prey with teeth and claws bared, locked on tearing apart its prey.

“This year’s edition of the Untamed Series truly embodies the idea behind this line of custom guns,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Guns. “The tiger symbolism used in the Arsatslisti ritual for rain combined with the danger synonymous with the Bengal tiger that is depicted along the slide showcases the “tigris” subspecies century-old status as one of the most feared predators in the world.”

The tiger is covered in 24K gold and black-filled stripes with selective silver-plated eyes, teeth and claws. The Colt® logo decorates the rear left panel and the right is engraved with each gun’s unique issued series number. Read more
