 Hi, it's Steve Uppam, general manager and EVP for Crossman Corporation in Benjamin Airguns. We're currently here set up at the Pyramid Air Cup in central, Ohio and we're over here in the vendor area where we're able to display some of our new products and the 200-plus shooters are over there fighting the wind today as they're trying to Pull off their their score. So it's been exciting so far. The venue's been terrific Even though we had some rain overnight. It's just been it's been a great situation right now the food trucks are busy and It's having a great time today. I'd like to whoa We also have some demolition targets next door to us that keeps scaring us I'm gonna demo some of the new items that were were shown here at the Pyramid Cup and Try to get the world excited about what's going on in the world of Crossman and Benjamin All right, first I want to talk about what we're doing with the Bulldog series We've had the Bulldog 357 for a number of years now and it's terrific shooting gun But we decided to step up our game. We released a 457 gun About six months ago and it's been a big hit so far it throws out a huge slug and it's it's under the same Set up as the current Bulldog, but we did upgrade the Bulldog 357 so everyone knows this gun's been out on the market But we want to increase the power So we increased the the length of the tube in order to get a little more air in there We did some tweaks to the inside and we just rolled out the M 357 which is going to be able to achieve Wapping 300 plus foot-pounds of energy for at least for at least three shots. It does come with a mag In the same configuration that the old 357 does but this one only holds Three slugs and it's more of a gravity-fed clip system rather than rotating but all built on the same guts from the Bulldog that's been around forever and Still the ambidextrous and super excited about that one a couple of the things under the crossman banner This is the new Challenger rifle. It first came out in 2000 and then was upgraded in 2009 We just introduced the 2022 Version this last year and we're super excited about the the sport or class Gun that goes out to a lot of the kids coming up through the different programs a Few upgrades on this still has a low-through-all through barrel, but there were some upgrades with adjustability As well as the stock design which we think is a very nice modern look almost a European style high-end rich look For a gun that still falls in that sport or class This is the standard stock comes in black, but we are doing some limited-edition stuff right now with a dip This is a very cool old glory flag Edition and we will be selling these with limited quantities on the website in the in the upcoming months more of a promotional piece Trying to get trying to get some spice back in there for the for the kids out there shooting So excited about the Challenger So I'm not sure if the world is aware, but we reached our hundredth anniversary this year There are not many companies in any industry that can be proud to say they've reached a hundred years And this is our hundredth year anniversary to commemorate that we're coming out with a limited-edition Crosman gun to to celebrate and this is basically a box unveiling comes in a very classy box with a nice sleeve and the gun itself is built on the 362 that some of you may realize we came out with them in the last couple years I Wrestle with this one to get it out of the box, but you can see what we did is we took a very Traditional pump version of a gun to celebrate our hundredth anniversary It's the guts of the 362, but a ton of upgrades as you can see it's got a gorgeous Turkish walnut stock That is a two-piece stock a very nice hundredth anniversary Medallion inside of it. We did some upgrade, you know nice things with some some gold accenting The bigger upgrades though on the gun are a steel breech kit a very nice Williams peep site in the back front end front-end site was an upgrade as well and Just kept that classic look that most people know of Crosman over the years. There are a limited edition It's we're gonna make 223 of these this is number 117 it looks like they will be they will be numbered and sterilized and They're currently on sale on some of the websites And they're a 399 so very nice piece I don't know if I'm gonna shoot mine or if it's gonna go in the basement in the box But a terrific looking gun with great specs as well Lots of exciting things going on at Benjamin But probably the thing that we're most excited about right now is the release that's actually happening today At this event of our new Benjamin single-die match pellets You know Crosman Benjamin have been known for some terrific pellets over the years and when the premiers came out in the mid 90s They were a home run that Shooters want specific weights specific tolerances that are so tight and over the years We really hadn't released anything since the premiere that was in that high-end class and it was a real concentrated effort It took us over a year to get this pellet Perfected to where we wanted to there have been some terrific reviews if you check out hard air magazine.com Steven does a great job explaining why this pellet is gonna do exceptionally well. There are single die This is dye tea and they're coming out right now We released the one seven seven caliber only in ten point five grain and they're gonna come in a very classy tin inside of a box The one seven sevens 500 count and they're gonna retail for about 20 bucks, which is an unbelievable value for this quality of pellet The 22 will follow and then in a couple months and then the 25 will follow behind that in a few more months So I would expect in the next four to six months. We'll have all calibers released really excited about this Terrific results. We're handing out some samples to shooters getting their feedback here at the event And I think you're gonna see Benjamin in this high-end class of pellets for years to come
