Beretta USA Launches New A300 Ultima Semi-Auto Shotgun

Accokeek, MD – Beretta USA is excited to announce the launch of a brand-new semi-automatic shotgun series, the A300 Ultima. The Beretta A300 Ultima features the classic mechanisms of the reliable A300 platform with new enlarged controls, an improved receiver, and the proprietary Beretta Kick-Off recoil reduction system.

“The new A300 Ultima offers a unique opportunity for shooters to experience Beretta quality with unparalleled features set at an incomparable price. Joining the venerable A300 series, we are excited to bring this new line to market in both 12 and 20-gauge configurations for the first time in our history – offering consumers a wide variety of options both in terms of aesthetics and function as well as expanding our offerings to the 20-gauge segment,” Erik Stern, Tactical and Pro-Shop Product Manager, said.

Made in the USA, the Beretta A300 Ultima is built tough to withstand adverse conditions out on the hunt and perform when you need it most. With a 7x7mm stepped rib with included mid bead, this new shotgun features a standard Beretta thread pitch, fiber optic housing with a large 4mm fiber optic front sight ideal for high visibility in low light during dawn or dusk shooting.

Included as standard configuration, the A300 Ultima utilizes the Beretta Kick-Off recoil reduction system, which provides enhanced stability, comfort, and control for faster target acquisition. This line also features an oversized loading port and low-profile receiver designed to enhance shooter experience and ease of use and a larger bolt handle and bolt release for easy manipulation in adverse conditions.

The traditional Beretta MobilChoke pattern barrel is designed to fit a wide variety of choke options that suit any shooter’s needs.

The Beretta A300 Ultima is now available for purchase in 12 and 20 gauge configurations and Black Synthetic, Realtree MAX-5®, and Mossy Oak® Bottomland finishes.

The A300 Ultima will be on display and available for demo by consumers at the 2021 Ducks Unlimited Expo starting today at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, TX. Read more

NDA Launches “How to Hunt Deer” Podcast With Sportsmen’s Nation Podcast Network

The National Deer Association (NDA) in partnership with the Sportsmen’s Nation Podcast Network have launched Episode 1 of the “How to Hunt Deer” series, a 16-part podcast released weekly through October that provides new hunters with the confidence they need to have a successful deer hunt now. Based on NDA’s award-winning e-book for new deer hunters, “How to Hunt Deer” is available on Apple Podcasts, iHeart Radio, Pandora, Spotify, Stitcher and wherever you listen to podcasts.

Dan Johnson, CEO of Sportsmen’s Nation, is joined by Hank Forester, NDA’s Director of Hunting, and Matt Ross, NDA’s Director of Conservation, to share comprehensive advice on where and when to hunt deer, selecting a firearm or bow, scouting deer sign, predicting deer behavior, understanding deer biology, choosing stand sites, processing your own venison, preparing meals, and much more. The 16 episodes of “How to Hunt Deer” follow the guidance outlined in NDA’s e-book, written by NDA’s staff of deer hunters who combined the science of deer biology with their own deer-hunting experiences to provide new hunters with answers to every question.

“My goal with this project was to help continue NDA’s excellent outreach to new deer hunters in an audio format to help them reach an even wider audience,” said Dan Johnson. “All of us in the hunting industry need to do everything we can to help interested adults learn to become deer hunters.”

NDA has made it a top strategic priority to assist new hunters through in-person training programs like Field to Fork, online training like NDA’s Deer Hunting 101 course, video instruction, and written media like the Guide to Successful Deer Hunting e-book, but the “How to Hunt Deer” series is the first venture into podcasting.

Michigan: help guide future management of Proud Lake Recreation Area

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is seeking public input on development of a new general management for Proud Lake Recreation Area in Oakland County.

Visitors, local community members and stakeholders interested in sharing their opinions and ideas about the park are encouraged to participate in an online survey available through Thursday, July 22, at Michigan.gov/ProudLake.

“Public input is a critical component of the DNR Parks and Recreation Division’s planning process,” said Debbie Jensen, DNR park management plan administrator. “There will be several options for people to get involved, including the initial online survey option and then a public open house in the fall. The open house will provide opportunities to review the draft general management plan that will be developed in response to this first phase of public input.”

General management plans are used to define long-range planning and management strategies that protect resources, while addressing recreation and education needs and opportunities.

“Proud Lake is a diverse recreation area offering something for everyone, from developed facilities to quiet natural areas,” said park supervisor Jennifer Etienne. “I am excited to learn what people think about the recreation area and what they would like to see in the future.”

Proud Lake Recreation Area is about midway between the communities of Milford, Wixom and Walled Lake in southeastern Michigan. The park is home to a 2-mile stretch of the scenic Huron River, which is managed as a Designated State Natural River, a modern campground, more than 20 miles of trails, and land open to hunting. The park also features two camper cabins and the year-round River Hawk Complex meeting facility. The park supports a wide variety of plant and animal life, and includes the 105-acre Proud Lake Nature Study Area that encompasses a floating bog and associated woodland vegetation. Read more
