TriStar Arms was proud to sponsor the 11th annual Kansas Ringneck Classic in Colby, Kansas. The Ringneck Classic was held November 18th through the 21st, hosting 103 hunters from 16 different states. This year's theme was military appreciation, including guests from the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy, and the Marine Corps. Notable attendees include Medal of Honor recipient Staff Sgt. David Bellavia, Gov. Laura Kelly, and former Gov. Sam Brownback.

Ringneck Classic Trophy

The Ringneck Classic focuses on bringing awareness and financial support to pheasant hunting in Kansas. Since 2011, the Classic has generated more than $500,000 for partners supporting conservation efforts in Kansas.

TriStar has donated over 120 firearms, with this year's "Governor's Hunt #1" shotgun setting a record when it sold for $10,500. "Gus Bader and TriStar are family. Without the support of this great friend and his company, the Classic would not have achieved the level of success we enjoy today. Kansas and the Ringneck Classic are blessed to have Gus's support" – Jim Millensifer, president, Ringneck Classic Inc. Board of Directors.

As a result of Gus Bader's commitment to youth programs, habitat/ wildlife conservation, and the overall mission and vision of the Governor's Ringneck Classic, Gus was selected to the class of 2021, Classic Field of Fame.

TriStar looks forward to the growth of the Ringneck Classic and has plans to sponsor the 12th annual Ringneck Classic in 2022.

#SundayGunday: Chiappa USA Rhino 60DS

On this week's #SudnayGunday, we’re checking out the Chiappa Rhino 60 DS. All it takes is once glance to tell this is not your granddad’s revolver. Chiappa has flipped the script on wheelguns quite literally, aligning the barrel with the bottommost chamber of the cylinder, rather than the top. This low bore axis makes the gun recoil directly back into the hand, rather than pulling the muzzle up and away from your grip. Learn more about it in this exclusive video.

Member's Hunt: The Dogger’s Window

A dogger’s goal while pushing deer is to drive the prey into a pocket formed by others in his gang, those hunters who are posted about a hundred yards apart along strategic locations up to a half-mile away from the dogger’s starting point. When everyone is in position, the dogger weaves his way through the woods into the wind and pocket formed by the other hunters. The approaching sound of the dogger snapping twigs and crunching leaves alerts unsuspecting deer.
