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 Fitasc judges, Gianluca Muoio,
the World Trench Shooting Champion 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 them”,
explains Raniero Testa. “The clays must be in the
right 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”.

Raniero Testa’s new performance.
Saint-Petersburg (Russia), Saturday, June 1st
2013… A blue sky, calm, a few clouds, a large
number of spectators who have come for the
event and a few officials are also present… Eyes
meet, tension is at its highest. Not a sound is to
be heard
Then, all of sudden, 9 shots ring out in the sky in
nearly one second!
That is all it takes to set a new world record!
Raniero Testa, equipped with a standard
Winchester Super X3, has just broken 9
clays he has thrown himself in 1.1 seconds
before they touch the ground … pulverising the
record of the late Tom Knapp blocked at 2 “long”
seconds for the same number of clays. The world
record has been confirmed, officially registered
by the InterRecord agency and relayed by the
Guinness Book of Records.
Our tireless Raniero Testa has once again shown
us all his dexterity and all the reliability, speed
and performance of the
Winchester Super X3
,
recognised today as being the fastest shot gun in
the world.
