By the mid-1960s gas-operated semi-automatic shotguns were considered

to be state-of-the-art fi rearms, and appeared to be the way of the future.

At the same time, attempts were being made to develop

a non-gas-operated system, but the best of those attempts

resulted in little improvement, nor advantage over gas.

In 1967, Benelli introduced the Model 121 semi-automatic

shotgun featuring a revolutionary cleaner, faster system based

on inertia, rather than gas bleed-off which is prone to fouling. The

performance of this innovative operating system was mechanically reliable

and safe. Benelli’s Inertia Driven® system was considered a milestone in the

evolution of semi-automatic fi rearms in its reliability, simplicity, strength and

resistance to residue build-up. But what really caught the imagination of the

shooting world was not just the system’s speed of operation, but the total

reliability that guarantees every shot will fi re.

From those who founded the company right up to present day employees, Benelli continues to make revolutionary contributions to the fi rearms world, and the results of that work speaks for itself.

For 40 years Benelli has

embraced the latest

in technology, which

continues today and will

do so in the future.

INERTIA DRIVEN SYSTEMBest Operating System ever devised

BENELLIUSA.COM THINK SAFETY: BEFORE HANDLING ANY FIREARM UNDERSTAND ITS OPERATION.2

Reliable — The Inertia Driven® system never needs adjusting and will cycle

anything from light field loads to 3½" magnums with consistent reliability,

year, after year, after year. In fact, there are Inertia Driven® Benelli shotguns that

have fired over 500,000 rounds, still in the field and functioning perfectly.

Simple — Inertia Driven® is simple with only three

primary parts: the bolt body, the inertia spring and the

rotating bolt head. Simple is better.

Faster — With a greatly reduced mass of parts, Inertia

Driven® is faster.

Cleaner — Gas, smoke and burnt powder stay in the barrel

where they belong, rather than being channeled into

the gun’s mechanism, as they are in gas systems.

Strong — The strong steel locking lugs on the Inertia Driven® system’s rotating

bolt head not only lock steel-to-steel into the gun’s barrel; the lugs lock-in

even tighter during firing.

Low Maintenance — The Inertia Driven® system is much cleaner so gun

cleaning takes a fraction of the time that it takes to clean a gas-system gun.

Light Weight — The Inertia Driven® system is not only incredibly simple, it

is also lightweight, allowing Benelli shotguns to be some of the lightest

semi-automatic shotguns ever produced.

Perfect Balance — With no springs, action bar linkage or heavy gas cylinder

under the fore-end, Benelli’s Inertia Driven® shotguns balance like a fine

game gun should.

Benelli’s automated manufacturing

system produces the Inertia-Driven®

bolt system with surgical precision.

“THE LAW OF INERTIA”— is Newton’s First Law of Physics and is as consistent and

unchangeable as The Law of Gravity. Benelli has harnessed this basic law of physics in the

Inertia Driven® system to operate the world’s fastest, simplest and most reliable semi-automatic shotguns.

It’s not boasting, it’s the law — The Law of Inertia.

CHAMBERING

As the bolt assembly moves into

battery, the locking head pin moves along a

curved track in the bolt body to rotate the

steel bolt head into engagement with the

steel barrel extension. The cartridge drop

lever is down, the red dot indicating that the

gun is cocked.

FIRING

When the trigger is pulled, every

part of the shotgun except the bolt body

moves rearward. The curved track in the bolt

body, which is moving forward relative to the

rest of the gun, presses against the locking

head pin, turning the bolt head even tighter

into the barrel extension. At the same time,

the inertia spring is compressed between

bolt head and body. The cartridge drop lever

moves up, allowing a shell to move from the

magazine to the carrier.

M AG A Z I N E T U B E

STEP 1:STEP 1:

STEP 2:STEP 2:

RECOIL

Near the end of the recoil cycle,

chamber pressure drops to a safe level and

the gun’s rearward motion slows. The heavy

inertia spring then thrusts the bolt assembly

rearward, unlocking the rotating bolt head,

extracting the spent shell from the chamber

and pulling it against the ejector.

EJECTION

As the empty shell exits the receiver,

the energy of the moving bolt assembly re-cocks

the hammer and compresses the recoil spring

in the buttstock. The recoil spring then

thrusts the bolt assembly forward, lifting the

on-coming shell into position and chambering

a fresh cartridge. The gun is ready to fi re

again in a fraction of a second!

COMFORTECH™ SYSTEMReduces felt recoil by as much as 48% over the competition !

BENELLIUSA.COM THINK SAFETY: KEEP FINGER OUTSIDE TRIGGER GUARD UNTIL READY TO FIRE.4

Benelli’s ComforTech™ system revolutionizes firearms technology. For

centuries, the laws of physics have defined shooting comfort. If you

wanted less recoil, your choices were to make the shot charge lighter

or the gun heavier. Reducing the shot charge

compromises on-target performance, and

increased gun weight affects the speed and

balance of the shotgun.

You can’t repeal the laws of physics, but

sometimes you can fool Mother Nature.

Benelli reached outside the firearms industry

to materials scientists, computer specialists and design engineers

to take a fresh look at recoil and how to tame it. The result? A new

stock system that reduces felt recoil by as much as 48 percent over the

competition. It’s often said there’s nothing new in guns, but the

ComforTech™ system is unlike anything ever seen before. Previous

generations of firearms designers never had access to the computer

modeling, high-speed photography and state-of-the-art synthetics that

make this revolution in shooting comfort possible.

Benelli’s technical department

utilizes Computer Aided Design (CAD)

software programs for cutting-edge

design-and, Computer Aided

Engineering– (CAE) for precise

structural calculations of the

finished elements.

Maximum Stress

Minimum Stress

To test durability, the stock was subjected to 100,000 brutal cycles with the recoil pad removed in a fixture exerting 20% more force than the most powerful 3½" magnum loads available. Testing was conducted at temperature extremes ranging from 150° F to -75° F. In the end, the ComforTech™ stock looked and performed as well as it did when new!

COMFORTECH™ STOCK

The ComforTech™ stock is split diagonally from the heel of

the buttstock to a point just behind the pistol grip. Connecting

the two pieces are eleven synthetic recoil-absorbing chevrons

that form a highly effective recoil barrier.

Computer simulation showed Benelli engineers the path of recoil (blue areas

are minimum stress) through a gun stock. The ComforTech™ stock was computer

designed so that even the exterior shell flexes to dampen recoil.

Synthetic Recoil-Absorbing Chevrons

COMFORTECH™ RECOIL MEASUREMENTS

Benelli engineers developed specialized machinery to measure and graph recoil. Here a Benelli Super Black Eagle is plotted along with an SBE II with ComforTech™. A dramatic reduction with ComforTech™ can be seen in all three peaks of recoil — firing, bolt cocking the hammer and the end of bolt travel.

The Super Black Eagle II does what many thought was impossible; it is both the lightest gun in its class and the softest-kicking. Imagine how fresh you’ll be at the end of a long hunting day with that combination!

BENELLIUSA.COM THINK SAFETY: ALWAYS BE SURE THE BORE IS CLEAR OF ANY OBSTRUCTIONS.6

How the competition stacks up against the ComforTech™ system:

• WEIGHT COMPARISON – the competition weighs 13% to 15% more (on average, that is a pound or more!)

• RECOIL COMPARISON – the competition kicks up to 48% harder.

• MUZZLE CLIMB COMPARISON – the competition recovers as much as 69% slower. To put it simply, Benelli

engineers have created the lightest, softest kicking shotgun on earth. It gets back on target faster than

any other and don’t forget, Benelli is already the fastest cycling auto-loading shotgun in the world!

At Benelli, we can’t break the laws of physics, but we can bend them just a little.

COMFORTECH™ SYSTEM REDUCES MUZZLE CLIMB

The Super Black Eagle II with ComforTechTM system reduces muzzle climb by 15% and recovery time is 20% faster, when compared to the original Super Black Eagle.

M U Z Z L E C L I M B

Forget about losing sight of a fleeing flock. You’ll get 15% less muzzle climb and 20% faster recovery with the Super Black Eagle II. Bagging doubles will become the rule, not the exception.

They’ll wonder how you do it. You’ll know the reason is that your recovery time is as much as 69% faster than competitive shotguns. You’ll bag birds while they’re still trying to get back on target.

Cryogenic physics has revealed that strange things happen

when matter is taken to temperatures of -300° F; gases

become liquids and solids, ceramics become conductors

of electricity and steel is changed at the

molecular level.

When a Benelli barrel is cryogenically

treated, all of the stresses caused by hammer

forging are relieved and the surface of the bore

takes on a more even-grained, slicker surface that offers less resistance

to wads and shot charges. With a smoother and more uniform surface,

Benelli Crio® Barrels not only pattern better, they stay cleaner longer.

Crio® Chokes are the second part of the Benelli Crio® System. Extra

long choke tubes, with a more gradual constriction, coupled with the slick

surface created by the cryogenic treatment, puts more pellets on target.

The Benelli Crio® System improves patterns by as much as 13.2% and

yields denser, more uniform shot patterns.

CRIOCRIO® SYSTEMDenser pat terns with 13.2% more pellets on target

BENELLIUSA.COM THINK SAFETY: REGULAR CLEANING IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF GUN SAFETY. CLEAN YOUR FIREARM OFTEN.8

The Crio® System combines a barrel frozen

to -300° F with a specially designed longer

choke tube that is also cryogenically treated.

The result is a denser, more uniform pattern

with up to 13.2% more pellets on target.

When compared to the competition, the new Crio® Barrel puts 13.2% more pellets in a 30" circle. That’s bird-busting power you’ll see in the field! This sort of pattern performance once required special barrels and aftermarket choke tubes. With the Crio® System, you get it right out of the box!

CRIO® CHOKEThe specially designed longer choke tubes of the Crio® System allows for more gradual constriction of the shot charge, which reduces pellet deformation. Frozen to -300° F, Crio® Chokes have a more evenly grained and slicker surface that provides less resistance to the shot charge as it passes down the bore.

The trigger guard has 30% more room, so even in the coldest waterfowling weather, the heaviest gloved fi nger will fi t easily.

Benelli includes a set of shims to make customizing the gun’s drop and cast quick and simple.

THE SUPER BLACK EAGLE II SETS THE STANDARD for styling, versatility and performance by which all

other semi-auto shotguns are judged. That judgment is based on unfailing reliability — the kind of reliability

that you can count on, shot, after shot, after shot. As the original 3½" semi-auto shotgun, the Super Black Eagle

was on the cutting edge of shotgun development. Utilizing the proven Benelli Inertia Driven® bolt mechanism

allows the Super Black Eagle II to shoot 2¾", 3" and even 3½" magnum ammunition without adjustments.

The Super Black Eagle II also incorporates some basic improvements, like the ComfortTech™ system,

reducing recoil up to 48% without adding any moving parts or weight. Compared to competing brands, the

Benelli weighs 13 to 15% less — on average, that’s more than a pound less! The ComforTech™ system

reduces muzzle climb by 15% for fast follow-up shots, which allows shooters to get back on target up to 69%

faster than the competition. The Super Black Eagle II is the quickest shooting and most reliable shotgun ever.

THINK SAFETY:

THE M2 FIELD IS THE WORKHORSE OF THE BENELLI SEMI-AUTO LINE. Light, nimble, but ruggedly built,

the Benelli M2 is built around the ultra-reliable Inertia Driven® bolt mechanism. The Inertia Driven® system

allows the M2 to digest nearly any 12-gauge cartridge, from 2¾" target loads to the heaviest 3" magnums.

Benelli engineers have also adapted the ComforTech™ recoil system for the M2. This revolutionary system

reduces felt recoil by up to 48% and cuts muzzle climb by 15%. When combined, this puts the shooter

back on target up to 69% faster than with any other comparable semi-automatic shotgun. The M2 is not only

faster, but with the new ComforTech™ system, it may be the most comfortable shotgun you will ever shoot.

The M2 is a workhorse with the speed of a thoroughbred.

CORDOBACORDOBAManages hot-barreled, high-volume shooting with ease

BENELLIUSA.COM THINK SAFETY: ALWAYS WEAR EYE AND EAR PROTECTION WHEN SHOOTING.18

INSPIRED BY THE HIGH VOLUME DOVE SHOOTING found around Cordoba, Argentina, Benelli engineers designed

the Cordoba as a lightning-fast hunting gun with all the advanced features of a serious sporting clays shotgun.

Incorporated into the Cordoba is the 10-mm tapered sporting rib favored by competition shooters and porting to

keep barrel climb to a minimum. The ComforTech™ stock cushions the blow when ammo isn’t measured in boxes,

but by cases in an afternoon. The ComforTech™ system also helps reduce barrel climb and puts the shooter back

on target 69% faster, so that the Cordoba just may be the fastest fi eld gun ever built. A Crio® barrel and extended

Crio® choke tubes put more pellets on target and the whole package is fi nished in matte black GripTight® coating or

Advantage® Max-4 HD™, so a refl ected fl ash won’t give you away.

Extended Crio® Choke tubes are standard. 12-gauge in 28" and 30" barrels. 20-gauge in 28" barrels only.

Extended Crio® Chokes reduce pellet deformation and the ported barrel nearly eliminates muzzle climb allowing for fast second target acquisition. A high-visibility red bar sight provides fast sight alignment.

080SUPERSPORT & SPORT II8SUPERSPORT & SPORT II8SUPERSPORT & SPORT IIThe ultimate “speed guns” for clay games

THINK SAFETY:

THE BENELLI SUPERSPORT AND SPORT II ARE THE ULTIMATE “speed guns” for sporting clays. The

SuperSport’s ComforTech™ recoil-dampening system allows the shooter to recover for the critical second shot

up to 69% faster than with other comparable shotguns — that’s fast! Couple the quick recovery speed with

a ported barrel that keeps muzzle climb to a minimum and it’s doubly fast. And the ComforTech™ system’s

special gel recoil pad and comb insert reduce felt recoil by up to 48% compared to the competition.

For traditionalists, the Sport II’s stock features beautifully fi gured A-Grade walnut with a satin luster

fi nish, a right-hand contour gel recoil pad and cut checkering on both pistol grip and fore-end.

When one clay often separates the winner from the losers, the SuperSport and Sport II’s

superior reliability, faster recovery time, lower recoil and denser shot patterns is

almost like having an unfair advantage.

LIKE THE BIG-BROTHER 12-GAUGES, Benelli’s 20-gauge SuperSport and Sport II

were both designed with sporting clays in mind. Traditionalists love the look and feel of

the Sport II with a stock cut from beautifully fi gured A-Grade walnut fi nished to a satin

luster. Cut-checkering graces both the pistol grip and fore-end, and a contoured

gel-pad fi ts the butt stock. The racy-looking SuperSport features a carbon-fi ber fi nished

stock, incorporating the ComforTech™ system to accommodate high-volume shooting. Extended

Crio® chokes come standard with both the Sport II and SuperSport.

Benelli’s original Cordoba came in 12-gauge — a gun developed for high-volume shooting

anywhere in the world. But when ammo on an afternoon is measured in cases rather than boxes,

dove afi cionados choose the Cordoba’s 20-gauge version. This handy gun incorporates ShellView™ ,

which allows you to check the shells in your magazine at a glance.

instantly recognize as not only a beautiful competition gun, but a serious one. The Legacy Sport is a gun with all

the features — gel recoil pad, ported barrel, Crio® chokes and barrel — and the advantages of a semi-auto that

also incorporates the slimness and balance of an over & under. The Legacy Sport is an elegant, smooth-swinging

WEIGHING ONLY 6 LBS., the Ultra Light is the lightest 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun in

production, sporting a featherweight alloy receiver, shortened magazine tube and a unique raised target rib

made from the same super-light, super-strong carbon fi ber employed in Formula 1 race cars.

New this year is the Ultra-Light 20-gauge, which is literally the lightest 20-gauge in the world, weighing in

at just 5.2 lbs. The Ultra-Light 20-gauge incorporates all the same features that lightened up it’s 12-gauge

big brother. The Ultra Light in either 12- or 20-gauge is an uplander’s dream.

A light-weight raised target rib is made from the same super-light, super-strong carbon fi ber employed in Formula 1 race cars.

The Ultra Light’s magazine tube and fore-end are considerably shorter than the Montefeltro’s. This new design makes the Ultra Light incredibly light on those long hunts.

To aid take-down, the Montefeltro Silver’s mag cap is deep-grooved for a positive grip, even with gloved hands.

scroll engraving and gold embellishments. The Montefeltro Silver comes in either 12- or 20-gauge and is adorned

with a pair of gold quail on the right side of the receiver and a pointing setter on the left. Blending style and

Inertia Driven® system, requiring no springs or gas-cylinder under the fore-end allows the Montefeltro’s fore-end to

be slim and graceful while the light-weight, anodized aluminum receiver keeps weight to a minimum. Chambered

for 3" magnum loads in both the 12- and 20-ga., the Montefeltro is equally at home in New England woodcock

IT SEEMS THAT SOUTHPAWS HAVE

ALWAYS BEEN IGNORED by gun manufacturers. Over the years their choices have been few and, in

many cases, limited to cosmetic changes to right-hand guns. Benelli has changed that minority status and produced

a selection of semi-autos created especially for the left-handed shooter.

The Benelli fl agship semi-auto, the Super Black Eagle II, is made in a left-hand version with a specially designed

ComforTech™ stock that features a gel pad contoured to fi t the left shoulder pocket. The Benelli workhorse M2 Field

also comes with left-handed ComforTech™ stock and, like the SBE II, in two patterns of camo or black synthetic.

The classic Montefeltro left-hand comes stocked with satin fi nished walnut. With three different left-hand models,

there’s a southpaw gun for every occasion.

COMFORTECH™ GEL RECOIL PAD

The Benellli engineers have thought of everything. There’s even a Gel recoil pad on the SBE II and M2 specifi cally designed to fi t the left shoulder. The ergonomic shape spreads the impact over a larger area for less felt recoil.

▲ This special synthetic gel comb insert not only cushions the shooter’s cheek during recoil, it also has a slippery surface that allows the cheek to slide along the surface for added comfort. Available in 3 comb sizes, ComforTech™ stocks only.

THE BENELLI SUPERNOVA EMBODIES A MODULAR DESIGN CONCEPT in a

pump-action shotgun. With the optional SteadyGrip™ stock, the SuperNova can

be transformed into a high-performance turkey gun or mount a fully-rifl ed slug

barrel for tack-driving accuracy on deer. There’s even a barrel with rifl e sights

for home defense and a SuperNova Tactical fi tted with a ghost-ring rear sight

and pistol grip.

At the heart of this new pump gun is a lightweight steel skeleton framework

over-molded with a high-tech polymer, making the new SuperNova super-light, super-strong and

almost completely impervious to any weather condition. But the SuperNova isn’t just tough on the

outside, with its dual-action bars and two-lug rotary bolt head that locks up steel-to-steel inside

the barrel, the SuperNova is rock solid to the core.

Built super tough, the SuperNova makes no compromises as the ultimate pump-action gun for waterfowl, turkey or as a slug gun for deer.

The SuperNova’s newly styled trigger guard, similar to the Super Black Eagle II, allows for 30% more fi nger room for a gloved hand. In addition, a new larger safety button provides easy acquisition and quick, positive function.

NOVA PUMPNOVA PUMPVersatile and dependable when every shot counts

BENELLIUSA.COM THINK SAFETY: KNOW HOW TO USE YOUR GUN SAFELY.38

BACK WHEN EVERYONE thought that the pump-action shotgun couldn’t

be improved, Benelli unveiled the Nova Pump. Completely original and innovative, the

Nova Pump incorporates a polymer stock and lightweight receiver into a single unit for unsurpassed

strength and weather resistance. Italian styling and high-tech ergonomics make the gun not only pleasing to

look at, but a delight to hold and handle. Distinctive grooves on the pistol grip and fore-end in place of conventional

checkering provides a positive gripping surface and compliments the Nova’s innovative engineering.

With dual-action bars and rotary head locking lugs, the Nova will handle anything from target loads to 3½" magnums.

Available in Black synthetic, Advantage® Max-4 HD™, and new Realtree® APG HD™ fi nishes, and as a youth model, the

Benelli Nova is the most versatile pump-action shotgun ever made.

Benelli’s Nova is truly a 21st Century pump shotgun. Corrosion proof polymer is over-molded on a skeleton framework to form the one-piece receiver and buttstock, in a revolutionary shotgun manufacturing process. The lightweight polymer stock also provides plenty of room for mounting an optional 14-oz. recoil reducer.

NO MATTER WHAT YOUR STYLE of turkey hunting there’s a Benelli shotgun for the

job. If you demand the ultimate ballistics of the 3½" 12-gauge, choose the Super Black

Eagle II. The new ComforTech™ system stock will take the sting out of those 2-ounce loads. The same

ComforTech™ recoil-reducing magic can be had in the 3" magnum M2 Field.

The turkey is the only game bird generally hunted from a static sitting position. To get the rifle-like

accuracy needed, choose the guns voted “Shotgun of the Year.” The M2 Field, Super Black Eagle II or

the new SuperNova with the SteadyGrip,™ allows a comfortable, rock-solid grip. A comfortable sitting

position makes it easier to wait patiently for that savvy old Tom.

The SuperNova and Nova 12-gauge pump guns shoot 3½" ammunition and are the smoothest

WHEN THE U.S. MARINE CORPS went shopping for a combat shotgun they bought a Benelli. That’s because a

combat shotgun has to function the first time, every time. The Benelli M4 does it for the U.S. military and now it

can be the centerpiece of your own home defense plan.

Benelli engineers developed a unique Auto Regulating Gas Operated (A.R.G.O.) system. Dual stainless steel,

self-cleaning pistons located just ahead of the chamber operate directly against the bolt assembly. The M4 Tactical

comes standard with a Picatinny rail for optics, a fully adjustable ghost-ring rear sight and fixed-blade front sight

and a black synthetic pistol-grip style stock. An optional standard stock is offered.

Benelli’s versatile, reliable M4 serves our armed forces in some of the world’s toughest terrains.

The stainless steel pistons are required to move only ½" for complete cycling which results in a faster operation with minimum vibration and quick target acquisition.

SIMPLICITY, STURDINESS AND INGENIOUS DESIGN are the distinguishing features of the patented Auto

Regulating Gas Operated (A.R.G.O), system — the mechanism that’s at the heart of the R1 rifl e. The operating

system contains a short-stroke piston, which captures pressure to create suffi cient force to operate the bolt,

and which also helps to absorb some of the recoil. Add to this unique and reliable operating system, the

recoil-dampening ability of optional recoil-pads of varying thicknesses for length-of-pull adjustments and much

of the sting of recoil removed from the R1.

Another unique feature of the R1 rifl e is interchangeable barrels, meaning that one rifl e can convert to any

caliber currently available from an ever-expanding selection of calibers from Benelli. Also included is a shim

kit, providing precise stock adjustments for drop and cast for a truly custom fi t.

Quick detachable magazine holds three to four rounds, depending on caliber.

The R1 is perfect for shooters of all sizes. Optional recoil pads are available for the desired length-of-pull (135/8", 14", 143/8").

The reliability of the R1’s Auto Regulating Gas Operated (A.R.G.O.) system has been proven in the M1014 military shotgun and has been adapted for centerfi re rifl e cartridges with a three-lugged rotary bolt. The rifl e’s gas cylinder is positioned just in front

of the chamber allowing for short operating rods and reduced recoiling mass.

against the R1’s bolt body, eliminating the need for connecting linkage or heavy action bars.

TORQUE LOCKING SYSTEMSystem ensures repeatable accuracy when changing barrels, because tension remains

constant shot after shot.

Optional open sights feature a fully adjustable rear blade and front sight with a special red fi ber optic insert.

O P T I O N A L R 1 R I F L E S I G H T P A C K A G E

Chamber pressure is contained by the massive three-lug rotary locking head, which locks into the steel barrel extension.

Usually only found on custom-made rifl es, the R1’s barrel is cryogenically frozen to –300˚ F which changes the steel at the molecular level. The result, better barrel harmonics providing superior accuracy.

55

PISTONSSince the pistons push directly against the bolt, they are required

to move only ½-inch for complete cycling which results in fast operation with minimum vibration.

TOM KNAPPTOM KNAPPBenelli “Top Guns” are the greatest

BENELLIUSA.COM THINK SAFETY: NEVER POINT A FIREARM, AT ANYTHING YOU DO NOT INTEND TO SHOOT.66

TOM KNAPP, recognized as the greatest exhibition shooter of modern times, appears at more than 140 live

shows a year in the United States and Europe, thrilling countless spectators with his seemingly impossible

feats with shotguns. Of course the shotguns that Tom shoots are Benellis.

The holder of two World Records for hand-thrown clay targets — 9 clays with a Benelli M1 Super 90 in

1993 and 8 clays with a Benelli Nova Pump in 2000, Tom set out to do it again. On October 20th, 2004,

he did the unbelievable, shooting 10 clay targets out of the air in 2.2 seconds with a Benelli M2 Field with

ComforTech™. Tom says that hard work and commitment are key elements to success, but added, “Without

the right equipment I could never do it. That’s why I shoot Benellis.”

Tom’s M1 Super 90–retired after 500,000 rounds fired – still in perfect working condition.


67

WORLD RECORD NO. 1

Tom joined Benelli in 1993 when he set the wor ld record with his Benelli M1 Super 90 by throwing nine standard clay targets and breaking them with individual shots in 2.3 seconds.

WORLD RECORD NO. 2

On July 19, 2000 Tom Knapp, with his Benelli Nova pump in one hand, threw eight clay targets in the air with his other hand and broke ever yone of them with individual shots in an amazing 2.1 seconds.

WORLD RECORD NO. 3

In Murfreesboro, Tennessee, on October 20th, 2004 Tom Knapp set out to make histor y again. With his 12-ga. Benelli M2 fit ted with a ComforTech™ stock and extended magazine tube, Tom launched ten clay targets into the air with one hand, shooting all ten with individual shots in an unbelievable 2.2 seconds.

Tom Knapp finally retired his old Benelli M1 Super 90 in 2006 when he donated it to the Buffalo Bill Historic Center in Cody, Wyoming, where it is on permanent display next to the guns of other great exhibition shooters like Herb Parsons and Annie Oakley. Tom’s old Benelli wasn’t worn out, in fact it had never let Tom down. After Tom had presented his faithful Super 90 to the museum, he sat down to figure out just how many rounds he had fired through that gun. With over 100 live shows per year, the total number of rounds put through the Benelli was over half a million. Well, it’s a good thing Tom decided to retire that gun, because at that pace he might have worn it out… in another hundred years or so.

Team Benelli’s newest exhibition shooterTIM BRADLEYTIM BRADLEY

TIM BRADLEY learned to shoot at an early age. Growing

up on his family’s farm in northeast Arkansas he shot

almost everyday, devoting every spare minute to

hunting, trapping and shooting — often burning up

five or six cases of .22 ammunition each year. During

his high school years Bradley became interested in

boxing and the martial arts, earning his black belt in

karate by the age of 17.

Utilizing the discipline he learned from the martial

arts and his ability for mastering extreme challenges,

Bradley tackled the unique and difficult requirements

of becoming a world-class exhibition shooter. He honed

his gun handling skills through years of practice, and

by firing thousands upon thousands of rounds of ammo.

Bradley’s talents were recognized by none other than

Tom Knapp, Team Benelli USA’s World Record holding

exhibition shooter. Determination and dedication to

perfect specific shooting skills finally paid off for

Bradley, who was invited to join Team Benelli’s busy

shooting exhibition schedule, teaming up with Tom

Knapp in 2006 to thrill crowds of all ages all across

the country.
