Take the speed and performance of the Winchester® Super X3™ shotgun; put the gun in the hands of Raniero Testa and you have all the ingredients you need for breaking world records. This is exactly what happened on July 11th 2012, 8 years after the previous record held by the American and former Winchester shooter, Patrick Flanigan, in front of witnesses including a notary 3 Fitasc judges, Gianluco Muoio, the World Trench Shooting Champion and other personalities from the world of shooting.

Armed with his own signature SX3 semi auto, Testa has become the first person in history to hit and successfully break twelve clays thrown into the air one after the other, before they fall to the ground.

"The secret is in the way you throw them, the clays must be in the right position. Then, once you have succeeded in throwing them up perfectly you just need to have high-performance tools in hand. The Super X3™ is the fastest semi-auto in the world. That’s exactly why I used it, because I’ve tried a host of others, but without success, and this was even before Winchester ® kindly made their equipment freely available to me."
