HatsanUSA
to Import
Escort
Shotguns
HatsanUSA, the US division
of Hatsan Arms Company, has
entered into an agreement to be
the exclusive importer of Escort
shotguns for the US market.
“We are very excited for
the opportunity to add Escort
shotguns to our shooting sports
brand portfolio,” says Blaine
Manifold, CEO/President
of HatsanUSA. “The Escort
line of shotguns is the perfect
complement to our Hatsan
branded airguns and the synergies
at play between the two brands will
be great momentum generators.”
Known as one of the world’s
most preferred shooting sports
brands, Hatsan set the standard
for quality craftsmanship. Hatsan
takes pride in its 100 per cent
vertically integrated manufacturing
process, using high-quality
components including German
steel and premium Turkish
walnut. Producing virtually all
components in its own factory,
Hatsan maintains the highest
levels of quality and workmanship
throughout the manufacturing
process for both Hatsan airguns
and Escort shotguns.
Escort’s purpose-driven
shotguns feature ruggedly-built
pump action, semi-automatic, and
over/under shotguns for hunting,
security, and home defense
applications. Escort shotguns are
recognised for their exceptional
performance, reliability and value
by shotgun enthusiasts from every
corner of the world. HatsanUSA
looks to build upon this strong
heritage in the US marketplace.
Hatsan, a family-owned
company, was founded in 1976
in Izmir, Turkey. Since then,
the company has built its brand
through an innovative product
line. HatsanUSA provides US
customers with the opportunity to
experience the exceptional quality,
craftsmanship and hard-hitting
performance of Hatsan airguns
and Escort shotguns.

Part of what has led to
the rapid ascent of Cordova
among outdoor enthusiasts is
the coolers’ exceptional coldretention
properties, while
offering additional features
that come standard on Cordova
hard-side coolers that are not
found in existing “premium”
coolers on the market today.
These options include topmount
lid latches, no-fall lid
lock system, CNC-machined
handles with integrated bottleopener,
a quad-core rubber
gasket, anti-slip goat’s feet,
and a raised lid lip. Cordova
products are priced to fit
the working man’s budget
despite their industry-best
performance.

Now in its eighth year, the
Extreme Benchrest competition
is one of the USA’s most
prestigious shooting events. It
is limited to just 160 shooters
who can enter up to seven
shooting events over a three-day
competition.
This year is was Daystate’s
turn to fly a big British flag at
the event and put forward a
strong team in the form of the
Daystate ‘Wolf Pack’ with top
shooters from all over the north
and south of America who
chose to use the latest Daystate
Red Wolf PCP.
“Its red finish being highly
visible everywhere, the ’red team’
took many of the top spots,
including top three in 50 yards
benchrest and the top eight
in American Field target - a
competition that shoots knockdown
targets all the way to 100
yards,” said Tony Belas from
Daystate.
The overall match winner was
an even bigger surprise though
with the flagship extreme (100
yards) benchrest match being
won by Chilean Claudio Flores
shooting with the latest Brocock
- the Bantam Sniper HR
“Over recent years it has
become a battle of titans with
manufacturers and sponsored
shooters battling to get results,
results that directly reflect on
sales in a country that is heavily
influenced by who and what
wins and which guns, scopes
and pellets the top shooters
choose,” said Tony.
