CEO
I speak for all of us at Mossberg when I say we greet 2008

with great enthusiasm and optimism. As America’s oldest
family-owned firearms manufacturer, the Mossberg traditions of
innovation, versatility, and value are alive and well, as illustrated by
several exciting new product introductions this coming year.
In keeping with our reputation for innovation, we’ve developed the
all-new 464 Lever-Action Rifle — incorporating the looks, balance
and mechanics of a traditional lever action, combined with modern
design features that put it in a class by itself. Following on the
heels of multiple new bolt-action, semiautomatic, pump, and over-and-under shotgun and rifle
introductions over the last several years, the 464 is indicative of how we at Mossberg are growing
and diversifying our product lines like no other.
The one thing that never changes, however, is our commitment to bring to you, America’s
hunters and shooters, the best-designed, most reliable firearms at prices that represent ‘more gun
for the money.’ Just as important, Mossberg also plays a significant role in the preservation of the
great hunting and shooting heritage many often take for granted. In 2006 alone, excise taxes
paid by manufacturers of firearms and ammunition accounted for over $250 million. Proceeds
from these taxes are used to help restore habitat and acquire land for the benefit of wildlife —
game and non-game species alike. And you, the American sportsman, generated an economic
impact of nearly $3 billion in hunting related activities. In fact, license fees alone represent the
largest portion of the sportsman’s contributions to the state fish and game departments,
presently furnishing them with more than $1.1 billion annually.
Another reason for overwhelming enthusiasm here at Mossberg is what you hold in your
hands right now. In this expanded 2008 edition of the Mossberg Gun Annual, you’ll find our
most comprehensive catalog in our 89-year history. From feature articles by the best hunting
and shooting writers in the business, to a breakdown of our complete line of firearms, barrels,
chokes, and accessories — you’ll find it here. We truly hope you enjoy it.
Best wishes on a safe and successful season.

A sk the average man on the street to describe a

“deer rifle” and chances are it’ll be a lever action
.30-30, the kind immortalized in countless novels and western movies.
Indeed, for more than half a century – from the 1880’s to the 1950’s –
I think it’s safe to say that such a rifle characterized the non-hunting public’s
perception of a deer rifle.
Today, the bolt-action has long since eclipsed the lever gun as the most popular
hunting rifle type where new-gun sales are concerned. But, there are literally millions
of lever action rifles out there still being used – and still being bought – by tens of
thousands of big game hunters.
The fact that traditional lever action rifles are still being sold in sufficient quantity
was enough to prompt Mossberg to take a long, hard look at the prospect of designing,
manufacturing, and marketing such a gun. Little did they know that when the decision
was made to do just that, shortly thereafter the Winchester factory in nearby New
Haven, Connecticut would close its doors forever. The demise of Winchester, of course,
meant that one of the icons of American firearms production, the Model 94, was no
more. With the 94 no longer in the picture, Mossberg would now have just one prime
competitor in the lever action arena, Marlin, whose Model 336 in all its permutations
is nearly as much an icon as the 94.

flat- nosed bullets, so the maximum practical range for it and the other
three loads was about 150 yards.
All in all I have to say this new Mossberg 464 is a welcomed
addition to the traditional lever action carbine scene. It may look a lot
like a “Winlin,” but that’s more than likely a good thing, and truly, it has
more than enough original design features, coupled with a highly

WORLD
SLAM
SHOTGUNS
A ccording to the National Wild
Turkey Federation’s website,
there are only two species of turkeys in the world.
First is the North American wild turkey (Meleagris
gallopavo) which is divided into five distinct sub-
species; the Osceola, Eastern, Merriam’s, Gould’s,
and the Rio Grande.
The second species of turkey is the Ocellated
(Meleagris ocellata) which occupies a relatively small
50,000 square mile area comprised of the Yucatan
Peninsula, limited areas of the Mexican states of
Tabasco and Chiapas, and the Central American
countries of Belize and Guatemala.
Collectively, these six turkeys make up the World
Slam of turkey hunting, which is (other than a good
night’s sleep) the ultimate quest for the hard-core

The Osceola
For most hunters seeking a “Slam,” the Osceola Turkey is the first stop. This
uniquely Florida turkey enjoys the earliest hunting season and can be maddeningly
difficult to hunt. This long-legged, gator dodging, indifferent bird often leaves
plans for a single year World Slam in shambles before it ever gets started.
Hunting Osceola turkeys

It is gator tail and frog legs for
lunch and it’s a wonderful way to
start any new turkey season.
Most Osceola hunters know

any turkey hunter’s resolve. But,
it’s a lot more comfortable if you
have a pistol grip on the shotgun
so that your hand is held at a
more natural angle as you wait.
The trend to “tactical” style
shotguns for turkey hunting, like
the Mossberg 535, also allows the
option of an adjustable length of pull stock that makes the gun more comfortable
when you are sitting bunched up against a cypress tree.

The Eastern
What’s the toughest turkey to hunt? Most of us who have chased them all say
it’s the Eastern. Why? Hunting pressure, pure and simple.
The dumb ones die and the smart birds live to reproduce. Darwin was right and
it’s just that simple. The Eastern turkey lives where the people live, so hunting
pressure is a fact of life for them.
The Eastern turkey ranges from Canada to Florida. He inhabits the northern
hardwood ridges clear to the southern swamps and is hunted under the
widest variety of conditions that any turkey can lay claim to.
What you can count on is plenty of walking and very spooky birds. I like a
lightweight shotgun, because you carry it a lot more than you shoot it. And
given that turkey guns kick and

The Merriam’s
turkey hunting.
The Merriam’s Turkey is found on the edge of the Great Plains and into the
foothills of the Rocky Mountains. With tail feathers rimmed in white, they might
well be the best-looking of all the sub-species. Merriam’s love the wide-open
spaces; they flock under big skies and feed along the rim rock. All in all, Merriam
habitat is the most spectacular, and for that reason many sportsmen enjoy hunting
them more than any other.
Hunting Merriam’s turkeys implies windy days on the prairie. It’s belly crawling,
because the only cover is a tuft or two of grass. It’s climbing to the hint of a gob-
ble while gasping in the thin air of the mountains and it’s breathing deep the smell
of Ponderosa Pine. It’s late season snowstorms and slippery, muddy dirt roads. It’s
long shots and long walks.
When hunting Merriam’s I know I’ll be dealing with wide-open spaces and
lots of wind. I want my shotgun to extract all the velocity I can get, so I want it

The Gould’s
Hunting the Gould’s turkey in Northern Mexico is wandering land full of
ocotillo, agaves, yucca, catclaw and scattered scrub oaks. The mountains rise
high enough that even in the desert the temperatures are comfortable. The
sun shines just enough each day, it never rains, and the cold wind never
blows. I don’t know what turkey hunting heaven is like, but I think I have
seen something very close and it’s the habitat of the Gould’s turkey.
Hunting here means burritos for breakfast and sipping good tequila
around the campfire at night. The turkeys don’t see a lot of hunting pressure
and are a bit unsophisticated. But, you don’t hunt here for challenging turkeys;
you hunt for an excuse to wander some of the finest ground on earth.
This is open land and the turkeys are sharp eyed and survival oriented. Lots
of exotic things will eat them here, including jaguars and ocelots. Be prepared
for long shots. Optical sights improve your odds so a turkey gun that is drilled
The Rio Grande

and tapped for scope mounting is a big advantage.
The Rio Grande turkey extends his range from south Texas up into
Kansas, but is most associated with the Lone Star State. Hunting Rio
Grande turkeys is prickly pear cactus; rattlesnakes and biscuits with sausage
gravy for breakfast. It’s pickup trucks, country music and miles and miles of
Texas. On a good ranch there are so many Rio Grande Turkeys running
around that the numbers alone become your biggest obstacle to success.
When you have what seems like every turkey in North America waking up
and greeting the morning, how are you and your mouth call going to stand
out from the crowd?
I like a shotgun choked up tighter than Hillary Clinton at an NRA convention.
Not necessarily because of the possibility of a long shot, which is a consideration, but more
often you will need to pick your gobbler out of a bunch of turkeys. With an ultra-tight
pattern the possibility of hitting another turkey with the fringes of the pattern are reduced.
Barrel and choke tube porting reduce felt recoil

and muzzle jump for quick second shot recovery.
Hunters took this Rio in Northern Texas.

Though its range extends well northward
into Kansas, the Rio is most associated
with the Lone State State.
The Ocellated
Called cutz by the Maya, the ocellated turkey is known by several names: pavo,
pavo ocelado, or the Mayan Indian name, ucutz il chican. (Don’t ask me how it’s
pronounced. I don’t have a clue!)
Both male and female ocellated turkeys have a blue-colored head and neck
with distinctive orange wart-like growths, called nodules, although they are more
pronounced on males. The head of the male also has a big blue knob on top that
is covered with these nodules and the size of this “crown” is considered part of
his trophy quality. Ocellated turkeys also have a bright red ring around the eye.
The red ring, blue head, orange warts and blue tail feathers combine to make him
if nothing else, colorful (see closeups, opposite page).
And, he sounds just as weird as he looks, which is weird indeed. His gobble
sounds more like a wheel bearing seizing up than anything a turkey is supposed
to vocalize.
The jungle is his domain and it’s full of exotic wildlife. The traditional way to

Shooting a turkey from his roost is considered sacrilege for an American turkey
hunter, but the ethics of one place are not necessarily those of another. Shooting ocellated
turkeys off the roost is the traditional, accepted and
perhaps the only successful way to hunt these birds. It is
how it’s been done for generations here and because it
is traditional, it’s how I hunted my bird.
What also is apparently a tradition is harassment by the
government. They thought it great sport to shake down
the gringos and to confiscate our guns and ammo. We
borrowed guns from the outfitter to complete the hunt,
but the lesson stuck. My advice: bring a reliable, strong
performing shotgun, but one that’s not too expensive and
one that you won’t mourn too much for if you lose it to some petty bureaucrat. On the
other hand, if you do bring it home you want it to be a shotgun that will, in spite of its low
price, provide years of reliable service. The gun that best fits that description? The reliable
Mossberg 500, the workhorse of shotguns. n
The Anatomy
of a Turkey Pattern
The ultimate pattern from a turkey-hunting shotgun is much different from
what we expect from traditional shotguns. Most shotguns are designed for
shooting at things that scurry and fly fast, and the lion-share of shotgun-
choke-ammo configurations are optimized for that.
The goal here is to place as many pellets as possible on the turkey’s head,
which is about the size of a small adult’s fist. Unless you have blown your stalk,
or can’t sit still, he will not be flying or running, and you will be aiming your
turkey gun rather than pointing it. In fact, how we shoot a turkey gun has
much more in common with a rifle than a traditional shotgun.
The goal is to have as tight a pattern as possible with a very dense and small
diameter core. This core is almost a “bullet” that we aim at the turkey’s head
and any pellet that is not contained in it is wasted. The goal is to deliver
the center of the pattern with precision, not to distribute the shot in a wide
ChokeTubes
pattern to compensate for poor aim or a moving target.
Patterns should be as wide as specified by

the choke and distance, but with the pellets evenly dispersed throughout.
While the pattern may feature a large “core” (traditionally 20-inches when
measuring) with a slightly denser pellet distribution, the true focus is an
extremely even pellet distribution throughout the entire pattern so that there
are no “holes” that the bird or target might fly through.
All Mossberg turkey shotguns feature a specialized turkey tube — ranging
from the X-Factor ported choke, with a .695 constriction to Ulti-Full and XX-
Overboring
Full variations for standard bore models. Keeping patterns dense and uniform,
tubes are matched perfectly to the gun, right out of the box.
A standard feature on Mossberg’s
835 and 935 turkey models is barrel overboring. This means that

930 SPX: Man’s

Real Best Friend
Borrowing from Mossberg’s extensive experience building special
purpose shotguns for military and law enforcement agencies worldwide,
the all-new SPX emerges as yet another version of its popular 930 autoloading shotgun.
Similar to the existing 930 Home Security model, the SPX is distinguished by its 18.5”
cylinder bore barrel with 3” chamber; an LPA ghost ring rear sight and a winged fiber optic
front sight; an extended 7 round magazine, and a Picatinny rail for the ultimate in optical
sight mounting versatility.
Other features that make the 930 SPX the perfect home defense shotgun is its reliable,

feature for easy loading and unloading. See Page 22 to learn more.

“A shotgun will beat

a pistol every time.”
So stated a Detective from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement
at the conclusion of a justifiable homicide investigation of an attempted
robbery of two Florida homeowners.
During the incident, a violent criminal on the run from police had smashed
through a sliding glass door and entered the home with a gun in hand. The
homeowner heard the noise and his wife’s screams for help.
The man entered his kitchen with a pump-action shotgun in hand and
confronted the felon. The drug-crazed robber pointed a handgun at the
homeowner who in turn responded like any rational man in fear for his life.
Final score: Good Guys: 1 — Bad Guys: 0.
During the official investigation, the members of the FDLE found the
homeowner to be justified and well within his rights to protect his wife and
himself with any force up to and including deadly force. The homeowner was
completely exonerated of any wrongdoing.

justifiably protecting themselves from felonious attacks by the criminal element. For
decades, Mossberg has been manufacturing reliable and affordable firearms for
gun owners worldwide. This year, Mossberg’s catalog includes more Special Purpose
shotguns than at any time in recent memory. You’ll find pump-action and semi-

endless array of barrel lengths, finishes, stock configurations, and accessories.

930 Autoloader
The introduction of the Mossberg 930 series opened another chapter for the
company. Not only is the semi-automatic, gas-operated shotgun a good choice
for hunters and sportsmen, it offers a solid platform for the Special Purpose
segment as well.
Shortly after the 930 was put into production, Mossberg offered a “Home
Security” version of the gun. This model had a fixed polymer stock and forend, a
blued steel finish and an 18.5 inch cylinder bore barrel. A combo package is
available with an 18.5 inch barrel and a 28 inch vent rib wing shooting tube. These Note the LPA adjustable rear sight and multi-functional

930 Tactical and 930 SPX Autoloaders

The newest 930 Special Purpose shotguns include the 930 Tactical and the 930
SPX. Regarding the Tactical model, it features the all-new stand-off barrel. This
component is a unique 18.5 inch barrel, with a unique ‘stand-off’ permanently
affixed to the muzzle-end. The only sight on the gun is a large white dot front sight.
While the primary purpose of the stand-off is tactical breaching, it does not hamper
the use of normal 00 buck or slugs. My experience with this barrel both on the 930
and 500 models is that shot patterns tend to run tighter and more consistently

In looking at the SPX model, it has the most special purpose features of any
of the guns. The SPX utilizes the basic 930 semi-automatic action with the black
polymer stock and forend. Atop the receiver you will find a handy, factory-
installed Picatinny rail. On the rail Mossberg has mounted a robust, fully
adjustable LPA brand Ghost Ring peep sight, featuring click adjustments for
windage and elevation.
Out in front, mounted atop the 18.5 inch smooth bore barrel is a raised front
sight. The front sight unit has a red fiber optic center post, which is flanked on
both sides by steel “wings” for added durability in the field. To put the “X” in SPX,
Mossberg has installed a Choate magazine tube extension to the shotgun. This

Time On The Range

Over the last fifteen months I have had the opportunity to
work with a number of guns from Mossberg’s Special Purpose
line. I have literally put over a thousand rounds of 12 gauge
ammunition combined through two
500’s and two 930’s. These shells
included birdshot, buckshot, slugs,
and specially designed frangible
rounds for door-busting.
Each gun has its own attributes
and unique characteristics. The 500
shotgun series is naturally less
expensive from the consumer’s
standpoint and is a simple, straight-forward design.
The 930’s are only a bit more complex but offer the shooter
a self-loading capability that, from my experience, is extremely
well-made and reliable. How reliable? I can tell you that during
one evaluation I fired somewhere in the neighborhood of
450 to 500 rounds of 12 gauge ammunition through a

their guns.
When it comes to choosing a firearm to defend yourself, picking the gun is only part of the equation, because when it
comes to stopping the predatory human animal, the load you choose does make a big difference.
How about the handgun versus shotgun question? Which one will best stop a predator is really a simple matter of
physics. Even the largest caliber handgun can only generate so much force. The 230 grain .45 ACP bullet, for example,
traveling at 850 feet per second is generating about 370 foot pounds of energy at the muzzle. Comparatively, a one ounce
slug is generating over 1600 foot pounds at the muzzle, and the combined weight of eight 00 buck pellets gives over 1500
FPE. Also, a 12 gauge slug creates a wound channel nearly an inch in diameter and a single round of tactical buckshot will give
you either 8 or 9 .33 caliber wound channels.
Some may offer that a load of birdshot with hundreds of pellets is a good load for “close quarters shooting.” One ounce
of #8 lead shot contains roughly 410 pellets, the equivalent load of #7 1/2 shot has slightly less. Yes, a load of birdshot is very
loud and a contact shot would be devastating with the burning propellant gas doing a good amount of damage. However,
loud noise doesn’t stop deadly felons and a contact shot is not something we can count on.
To test and see just how much penetration I could get from a birdshot load I went to my local grocery and purchased
some meat. Fortunately, the butcher had packages of pork neck with bones and meat for a good price. (I couldn’t bring myself
to shoot up a nice piece of steak).
The meat target I created was secured in place with
cellophane wrap on a cardboard backing. The density of
the meat varied from 1.5 to 2 inches with bone mixed in. Buckshot patterns from the

meat had completely absorbed the majority of the shot.

A few tiny pellets punched through the cardboard
around the meat but none passed through.
What does this translate to?

At near contact range, a mere 5 feet, the #7 1/2 lead
shot did not have the power to penetrate two inches of
flesh. There is no way the shot would have reached
deep inside an animal or human to shut down the heart,
lungs, or central nervous system. Surely the wound
would be horrible, but self-defense is not about inflict-
ing horrible wounds, it is about stopping the bad guy
from killing us.
The moral of the story is quite
simple actually. When it comes to

THE WAR ON TERROR

While the rifle has been the primary weapon of the soldier for the
better part of two centuries, there have been several instances in the
history of warfare where the shotgun has shined. Many years ago a
Marine Vietnam veteran related his experience with the pump shotgun
to me. The man stated that with all the noise of combat, rifles and
machine-guns, grenades and rocket launchers, the shotgun had its
own distinct sound. “When you heard a shotgun fire,” he said, “you
knew someone just got screwed up.”
Today, our armed forces are once again in a situation where the merits
of the shotgun have brought it back to the limelight. Rather than being
assigned merely to guard duty or sentry work, the Mossberg 500 and
590 are going into the “hot zones.”
An illustrative passage in the book, Mossberg – More Gun for the
Money, reveals the durability of the 590 during Operation Desert
Storm in the early 1990s: “…Operation Desert Storm veterans

HI TE NORTH
Z Like many hunters, I’ve dreamt of taking a massive, blond-tipped
grizzly bear since I was a kid. I’ve hunted them before, but never successfully.
Once, in British Columbia, I carried a tag on a moose hunt but never spotted the
distinctive claw-dragging tracks of a brutish bruin. A year later, I spent 17 days
in those same mountains and took two fine Black bears, but once again saw
nothing ursus arctos horribilis.
A few months later, outfitter Virgil Umphenour of Hunt Alaska called to
tell me about a very special spring grizzly hunt he conducts each year in the
Arctic. Virgil and his crew of Athabascan Indian guides use snowmobiles and
snow shoes to cover his huge area where they climb ridges and glass for bruins
feeding or basking in the sun as the spring thaw draws them out of hibernation.
It sounded like a fun and exciting hunt and Virgil boasted the high
success rate I was looking for, so I booked a trip for the coming spring.

both. Ariel shakes his head. “You must shoot sooner.”
He’s right. But when a whistler follows the teal, I track the bird too long.
“Too late,” repeats Ariel. It is easy to ride out birds that fly like mallards. But
these waterfowl twist and turn like doves, and accelerate as if turbo-charged.
Eventually though, we started to get the hang of it
We pick up the stools and decoys as ribbons of moonlight slide between
rows of rice. It’s 10 o’clock before we sit for dinner at the A-frame. Where beef
cattle figure so heavily in the GNP, we expect a good steak. But I’ve never seen a
T-bone thicker than a ream of typing paper! I scrounge an unfired shotshell and
place it upright behind the steak. It disappears. The steak tastes even better than
it looks. Grilled over a wood flame to a chocolate finish outside, it grades to pink
in the middle. It is uniformly hot and tender as the finest filet. You needn’t tell
this cook how to fix your steak. And you don’t dare.
Next morning, we’re shooting before sun-break. Fellow journalist John
Phillips and I limit easily, in a couple of hours - max. I enjoy hunting, not just shoot-
ing, so to prolong the time afield I purposefully let ducks sail by. There’s no need
to cripple birds here; a skilled caller and spreads as small as a dozen decoys draw
them right to the muzzle. The few that plane off into the distance die in the clutch
of raptors. I have never seen a greater density of hawks. The lion share of the ducks
we retrieve go to local residents, who can typically be found patiently waiting by
the shore for the hunters’ return in the late morning and evenings.
Our mild ammunition – low-brass Fiocchi loads with an ounce of lead shot
– kill reliably when we shoot sensibly. They cycle dutifully through lightweight,
synthetic-stocked Mossberg 930 autoloaders. I find this inexpensive and
durable shotgun an excellent choice for high-volume waterfowling. By week’s
end mine will have fired hundreds of rounds without cleaning. It will still
function dependably. Because it “shoots soft,” I’ll not be flinching or wincing.
Want more power? It handles 3-inch magnums also.
We bag our next limits in different places, all marked by open water that
attracts small flotillas of ducks. Away from the dikes, rice combs the surface into
glistening alleys dotted here and there by white egrets and black ibis. We throttle
our shooting to boost our averages and perch just a little longer on those
one-legged stools to watch the living sky. The air stays comfortably warm but
mosquito-free. I wear only a T-shirt and light camo raingear.
Like his guides, Javier puts in seven-day work-weeks from February
through mid-August. He is not a hunter. But he talks the talk and wants to run
his own lodge someday. “Hunting is profitable” he smiles. “We have fine
hunting; however, the best leases are costly. You need capital to start.”
One morning, we meet a local hunter and his son. Ariel gives them our birds
too. “It makes no sense to tell them the fields are leased. They wouldn’t under-
stand.” Few locals can afford to hunt birds, or shoot enough to dent the flocks.

“A real nuisance to farmers,” says Javier. Still, I let more than a few

mixed squadrons of birds almost non-stop. I fired nearly 100 rounds. Enough.
Still, we never tire of sloshing through the water-prairies of rice. Our last
drive down the dikes and away from the teeming skies comes too soon.
We leave as we’ve come, through Cordoba to Buenos Aires, a city of
15 million residents. Aerolinas Argentinas takes us up into the skies toward
Miami, over the de la Plata River. We can see both shores of this broad artery from
the air. We cannot see the anglers dunking lures, bicyclists whizzing by the
sausage stands or the notoriously beautiful Argentinian women jogging through
Buenos Aires parks. But, we can still remember the clouds of whistling ducks
sifting, by the thousands, like wind-borne leaves, into flooded rice. n
An Argentinian guide and New York editor Lamar Underwood take on the doves in sorghum.
Need More Firepower?

Seldom are hunting guns called upon to show their endurance like we encountered in
Argentina. Big game rifles typically loaf through seasons marked by miles of hiking or hours on
stand. Some take years to cycle a box of ammunition. Bird hunters get more shooting, but to warm
those scatterguns they must find a clay target range. Unless they travel south of the border.
Some of the Mossberg guns we used in Argentina had already endured a marathon pounding
in the dove fields. “The equivalent of 50 years of upland gunning in the Northeast — all in five
days,” observed Lamar.
The 930 Autoloader I used cycled 233/44” loads smoothly and without any malfunctions
whatsoever. Designed to handle 3” loads as well, it features a self-compensating gas system that
reduces recoil. Muzzle porting also makes the 930 easy to shoot, and on a trip like this where
second-shot recovery is important, porting becomes even more of a bonus. Three Accu-Choke
screw-in tubes add versatility. The gun is nicely proportioned and fit me well, coming up to my
shoulder/eye as if it were custom fitted. Its fiber optic bead drew my eye down the rib, and the easy

Looking for something with more punch for back home? The 930’s big brother is the 935,

overbored barrels. Like the 930, several versions are listed, scaling 711/22 to 733/44 pounds, with stock
spacers that allow you to adjust pitch and length to suit. The 935 includes an Accu-Mag choke set
with IC, M and F tubes, with suggested retail pricing starting from just over $500 — quite a value,
especially compared to anything else out there.
On a trip like this, where monster geese and long-range shooting is not the norm, I preferred
the more nimble 930. It’s hard to imagine a need for the 311/22” shell in such a close-in, target-rich

turkeys at normal hunting ranges. An autoloader that handles 3” haymakers and modest 233/44”

SAFETY IN
THE FIELD Hunting and shooting is among the safest of all sports. A recent National Safety
Council report showed that firearms-related accidents are at all-time lows. While these are
encouraging trends, each of us who hunts or participates in any of the shooting sports must
be constantly aware of the safety and safe handling responsibilities that we share.
Being on a hunting trip is a great way to get experience nature — to
immerse ourselves in the natural world, if you will. Our senses come alive with
the sights, sounds and smells of the “great outdoors.”
Though this experience can be overwhelmingly beautiful, we must all
be mindful of the safety aspects related to hunting and shooting. For decades
Mossberg has been a leader in promoting firearms safety. Our manuals,
catalogs, advertisements, and our support of organizations like the National
Shooting Sports Foundation, the National Rifle Association, and the International
Hunter Education Association to name a few, help spread the message of firearm
safety afield and in the home.
The following are a few tips that all hunters, young and old, should keep in
mind when handling firearms...

Whether hunting in muddy fields or in snowy conditions,
always be mindful of the possibility of dirt or debris becoming

BY LAURA D. LERMAYER
My love of hunting
is rooted in a greater love
of the outdoors.
It is more than just the taking of game, it is time spent with
family, the endless hours of scouting, and trying to predict
where that big buck is going to show up next. I was fortunate
to be raised in a shooting and hunting family, where us gals
shot right along with the guys. I grew up hearing stories of
Grandma’s remarkable prowess with a shotgun, and Uncle
Bud’s ability to stalk and shoot bedded deer from 50 feet.
Why then, did I grow up to be only an average shooter?
Shotgunning absolutely eluded me. It was supposed to be a
simple matter of “instinctive” pointing and shooting, but
apparently I lacked that instinct and gave it up. My rifle
marksmanship was tolerable. At close range I could kill a deer
or coyote, but nothing like the spectacular shooting “the guys”
could pull off. I resigned myself to the reality that I would
never be Annie Oakley, and wrote it off to the fact that I was
the only member of my family who wore glasses.
This never diminished my love of hunting and the outdoors,
however. Fortunately, 99% of the time spent hunting has

Then, one lucky day, I

met my husband to be – a
certifiable, died-in-the-wool
gun nut. He was delighted to find a woman who loved to
hunt and shoot, and one of our very first outings (even before
our first “real” date) was to hunt a bobcat that was killing a
friend’s ducks. He handed me his gun, watched me bring it
to my shoulder, and said “that gun doesn’t fit you.” That
was a baffling statement to me. After all, guns
