Shot Shells

First of it's Kind The Wing Shot brings yet another facet to the ever changing world of airgunning. For the first time an air powered shotgun is no longer just a novelty, but a true tool in the arsenal of any airgunner. Proven against small and upland game animals as well as clay targets, the Wing Shot opens new doors to sportsman as well as recreational shooters. Shooting aerial targets like clay pigeons or birds on the wing with the Wing Shot takes just a little getting used to. If you have shot aerial targets before you are used to leading the target just a little bit as it moves, however, with the wing shot we found that increasing your lead just a bit to compensate for the slower velocities was necessary, don't be surprised if your first few shots are behind your target. However, the adjustment came quickly and before long we were making passing as well as incoming and outgoing shots no problem.

Power & Accuracy Capable of velocities over 1000 fps using shotshells and around 800 fps with slugs the wing shot is no slouch in the power department. The Wing Shot has proven lethal on small game and birds of many types. Patterns with the shotshells where a respectable 12 inches at 30 yards and slugs grouped about 3 inches at 20 yards out of the smooth bore barrel. We found the best groupings were at around 10-15 yards and would be the ideal range for hunting.

Air Tank (A Must, Not A Luxury) The Wing Shot is hungry when it comes to air consumption. It's going to need air often and fast and for that we recommend a 4500 psi carbon fiber tank. A 90 cubic inch model should give you about 7 fills on the wing shot and is a great option if you're heading across a field in hopes of kicking up a game bird or two. If you're spending a day at the range busting clays a larger 74 cubic foot model will provide more than enough air for a long day of shooting. .

The Wing Shot PCP Shotgun is based on the same frame and design as other rifles in the Sam Yang family, with some features exclusive to the shotgun. The stock features a straight shotgun style grip with an ambidextrous cheek riser.The Air Venturi Wing Shot also features a brass bead sight as well as removable choke that attaches to the threaded barrel. We found the Wing Shot to be a little bit front heavy but not enough to slow down its pointing ability.The air tube on. When not in use the included cap snaps securely in place to make sure that no debris or dust gets in the fill port. The built in gauge is located underneath the stock.The cocking mechanism of the Wing Shot is a straight pull bolt action that features a high and low power setting.The, not the greatest airgun trigger but certainly not even close to bad. It's a single stage with a little bit of take up and breaks at just under 6 lbs.. The trigger feel is a little soft with a bit of overtravel but again, nothing to complain about (unless you're being picky like us!)Initial tests of the Air Venturi Wing Shot Shotgun yielded FPS readings just over 1000 using the prototype 3D printed shells with #8 shot. Patterning the gun at different distances showed a spread of about 5 inches at 10 yards and about 12 inches at 30 yards,as we saw patterns get wider as pressures in the gun dropped off. In testing we got about 3-4 full power shots before the tank needed to be topped off. Firing slugs out of the .50 caliber smoothbore barrel proved to be more accurate than expected., perfectly acceptable for a smooth bore and adequate for taking close range shots on game.Just for fun we did launch a few slugs out to 100 yards firing at a 12 inch steel gong, we managed to connect 2 out of 5 shots taken from a standing offhand position, with a bit more practice we managed to connect 4 more times., however, watching the big .50 slug arcing on its way to the target at longer range was fairly entertaining.Shooting aerial targets like clay pigeons or birds on the wing with the Wing Shot takes just a little getting used to. If you have shot aerial targets before you are used to leading the target just a little bit as it moves,, don't be surprised if your first few shots are behind your target. However, the adjustment came quickly and before long we were making passing as well as incoming and outgoing shots no problem.As far as for sound suppression, the Wing Shot has none.. The Air Venturi Wing Shot PCP Shotgun really fills a great need for airgunners who love bird hunting. The comparatively low noise level, the lower velocity of an air gun and the lack of recoil mean that you can shoot all day long without a sore shoulder and you don't have to worry as much about errant shot damaging unintended targets.In the past, manufacturers have attempted to create an effective air powered shotgun, but one of the biggest hurdles to overcome was how to deliver the right amount of shot fast enough to be lethal, while still maintaining a tight enough pattern. On top of that is what kind of casing to put it in. The Air Venturi Wing Shot air shotgun features an innovative way to tackle this obstacle.The Wing Shot is. Simply slide the port cover back, load your shell, then slide the port cover forward to seal the chamber. As mentioned previously, you can also fire .50 cal slugs.
