F3 American Skeet

Shotgun shooting requires skillful eye-to-hand coordination. The right shotgun carries out the demands of the competitive shooter, following instinctive and unerring trained actions, and represents the sum of ergonomics and technology.  
The F3‘s zero-based design was a ground-breaking development by Blaser, Germany‘s leading manufacturer of sporting firearms. Superior weight distribution makes it
extremely pointable, while at the same time keeping it steady and smooth when following the line of the target – without infringement on acceleration or speed of swing. Perfect overall-weight, balance and weight distribution are the key elements that set the F3 apart from other strong competitors.
The F3‘s lightning-fast lock and crisp trigger, that breaks like glass at 3¼ lbs, ensure that the shot-string is on its way the same instant the shooter‘s brain gives the command to pull the trigger.
