Women waterfowl hunters have typically been pushed toward using youth-model shotguns, trimming stocks to fit or simply dealing with what was available—but no longer. Syren is the first brand in the industry to design and produce shotguns exclusively for women. The company’s 12-gauge, semi-automatic XLR5 Waterfowler is engineered to meet their needs, most notably in stock design and recoil reduction. Features include a female-friendly composite stock, Pulse Piston operating system, magazine cutoff switch and Realtree Max-5 finish at an MSRP of $1,795. Learn more about the blind-ready Syren XLR5 Waterfowler in this video.

Know How: Understanding and Obtaining a Cold-Bore Zero

Have you ever spent hours at the range zeroing a rifle only to learn it is nowhere near center when you go to confirm it at camp? Many attribute this malady to scope shift during travel, and that can sometimes be the case. However, far more often this point-of-impact change can be attributed to the way we zeroed back home.
