On July 11th, 2012, Raniero Testa, a shooter sponsored by the Winchester Arms Company broke a world record at the Circolo Arcera in Italy!
Take the speed and performance of the Winchester® Super X3™ shotgun; put the gun in the hands of Raniero Testa and you have all the ingredients you need for breaking a world record.
This is exactly what happened on July 11th, 2012, 7 years after our previous record held by the American and former Winchester shooter, Patrick Flanigan, in front of witnesses including a notary, three Fitav judges, Gianluca Muoio, the world trench shooting chamion and other personalities from the world of shooting.
Raniero Testa, a shooter sponsored by Winchester at demonstrations, has become the first person in history to hit twelve clay pigeons in the air and break them one by one, before the first one has touched the ground.
"The secret is in the way you throw it", explains Raniero Testa. "The clays must be in the ideal position. Then, once you have succeeded in throwing them perfectly, you just need to have high-performance tools in hand. The Super X3 is the fastest semi-auto in the world. That's exactly why I used it, because I tried a host of others, but without success, before Winchester made their equipment available to me free-of-charge".

For many years Winchester Super X semi-automatic shotguns have been reputed for their high speed, their easy, rapid handling, their natural aiming, their exceptional reliability and their low recoil sensation. The Winchester SX3 is the latest model in the range and it is available in a "field" version with a wooden stock and a waterfowl version in black and a camouflaged composite stock.
