July 20th 2018 UpNorthAirGunner and the Airgun Sporting Association (ASA) gave an awesome presentation and demonstration for the Big Bore airgun demo at the Midwest DNR Wildlife Chief's meeting this week. Wildlife agencies from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan were all in attendance. The two top Michigan Conservation Officers were also in attendance as well as legislative liaisons and staff of lawmakers throughout Michigan. It was a full day of big bore demonstrations, conversations, Q&A, ammunition and projectile comparisons, and demonstration of airbow / air bolt technologies. A special thank you to the follow sponsors who made this event possible: Pyramyd Air Gun Mall and Airgun Depot who provided the Seneca Dragon Claw .50 and the 909 Light Hunter .45 and AirVenturi Ammo - AirBolts and gong targets - visit them here: https://www.pyramydair.com/ and https://www.airgundepot.com/ David and Regina Williams from Hunters Supply for donating the HUGE amount of lead that went downrange.
