60 Seconds With James Russell

‍August 27, 2026

 

The tendency of most shooters is to “rush” the shots, but in reality, speed comes from smoothness first. Practice moving the gun smoothly from target-to-target. As you do this, speed will increase. It will appear you are shooting very slow, but it’s only that you have trained yourself to be smooth and quick. The professional must always remind himself to slow down.

 

This tip came from the book “Precision Shooting” by James Russell.

The Perfectly Balanced K-80 Parcours From Krieghoff

Krieghoff’s legendary K-80 receiver needs no introduction.  It has long been thought of as one of the most reliable and has withstood hundreds of thousands of rounds and many trips to the top of the podium. Available with dozens of different barrel options the K-80 has always been a shotgun that was ready to evolve. 

The next step in this evolution is the introduction of the K-80 Parcours. Perfectly balanced between the hands, the Parcours gives the shooter a gun that is approximately 8 pounds with the proven reliability of the K-80 receiver. Featuring 32-inch fixed choke, soldered rib barrels, a slimmer forearm and a totally new stock design the K-80 Parcours points and moves with ease.
