Il Club Caliber 16 has chosen the date of Sunday 31 July 2016 to organize the second edition of "Double Shot" Trophy in Massa Martana, in the province of Perugia. It is a race of Compak Sporting which is open to all fans of the 16 caliber: this means that participants will be able to shoot exclusively with rifles in this type of caliber. The ammunition in the field, to be precise that of the Shooting "UmbriaVerde", will be made available by the Danesi Sport company.
The other sponsors will also be Rizzini and Effebi. As specified by the Club itself, the number refers to the balls that are obtained from the pound of lead and that can be fired from the barrel. It is a caliber that has made hunting history in Europe since the XNUMXth century: today it is highly appreciated in France and in the countries of Eastern Europe.
In Italy, however, the commercial value has been gradually lost, in favor of the 20 gauge. The club's goal is therefore to recover and maintain a historic caliber, exalting the great ability of the European artisans gunsmiths.
