Benelli USA is looking for shooters for a video shoot

My name is Rob Grauert and I work in Benelli USA's marketing department.

Benelli USA is currently looking for shotgun shooters for a sporting clays video shoot. The video shoot will likely take place on September 9th and 10th at Bull Run Shooting Center in Centreville, VA. We have two on-camera roles that need to be filled:

- Male, between the ages of 45 and 55, Caucasian, clean cut, and in decent shape.

- Female, between the ages of 25 and 35, any ethnicity, and in decent shape.

Some shotgun shooting experiences is required of both individuals, but you don't have to be an amazing shot. We need shooters who are comfortable with shotguns and don't flinch before pulling the trigger.

There is no need to supply your own shotguns as the two selected individuals will be shooting our new products. The two selected individuals will be compensated and fed.

If interested, please email [email protected]. Please include your name, best contact info to reach you, where you'll be traveling from, and two well-lit photos of yourself: one framed head-to-chest, and other framed head-to-toe.

Thank you.

Looks interesting. I'd be interested but (1) I'm too old; and (2) I'm 3,000 miles away.

My wife's first shotgun was a Benelli Montefeltro 20 gauge. It was a very good start for her, and it's an excellent gun. She still uses it on occasion for pheasant, but for clays we shoot Perazzis now.

That would be cool, but I'm the wrong age too.

I'm the right age and clean-cut, but that "decent shape" isse might be a problem . . . If "potato-shaped" is "decent," I'm good.

Sadly, I'm also too far to travel to do this.

At least you're close to Virginia. Maybe you could lie about your age. Could you pass for 54?

I think that's an excellent shape.

If you hurry, there's time to get a face lift.
