By BLOG, Customer Testimonial

Say hello to Clara Wolfe, and her dog Syrene! Clara is a 17-year-old Junior at Bennett High in Colorado. She is an avid bird hunter and recently picked up a Syren Elos D2 28g Left Hand model for the winter to use in the field and on the trap and skeet fields.

Masterfully done, this is a truly lovely shotgun that will no doubt catch many a lady’s eye.”
