As air gun technology improves, the need for better quality ammunition becomes paramount. Umarex’s Brimstone line of airgun ammunition meets, and exceeds, that need.

Sulfur pellets and slugs are precision manufactured to minimize defects that reduce accuracy. The carefully balanced, low-drag shape is designed to deliver as much kinetic energy into the target as possible. This equates to drilling crisp holes in airgun competition targets and also being able to take down game more efficiently and ethically.

Brimstone pellets and bullets come in three calibers: .22, .25, and .30. Pellet weights are 18.67 grains for .22, 33.95 for .25, and 50.77 for .30. For slugs, the weights are 28.24 for .22, 34.89 for .25, and 60.80 for .30.

With superior precision and craftsmanship, Brimstone ammo shoots like heaven, hits like hell.

EDGEFIELD, SC — During the first weekend in May, the NWTF’s Wyoming State Chapter held its annual Veterans Spring Turkey Hunt in Newcastle, Wyoming.

Since its inception in 2018 with two veteran hunters, the event has grown steadily and was proud to host four veterans this year. The state chapter diligently raises funds to cover various expenses associated with the hunt, including lodging, meals, and licenses for honor participants.

Prior to the hunt, Joe Sandrini, a biologist with the Wyoming Department of Fish and Game, met with local property owners in the area to obtain permission for veterans to hunt on their property. In addition, the volunteer guides took it upon themselves to install blinds on the properties prior to the event to help ensure a smooth and successful hunt.

The Friday before the hunt, a special dinner was held at the local VFW, which donated their venue for the event. The meeting provided an opportunity for hunters to register and prepare for the next hunt. In addition, the dinner served as an opportunity to express gratitude to the dedicated guides and generous landowners who contributed their effort, time, resources, and support to make the event possible.

The next day, veterans were treated to breakfast burritos to fuel them before the hunt, and received packed lunches donated by local businesses. The collective efforts and shared commitment to honoring our veterans were manifested in a remarkable achievement during this year’s hunt: all four participating hunters successfully captured a wild turkey.

“We couldn’t make this event happen without all the amazing volunteers who gave back to those who gave so much,” said Joan Eisemann, NWTF Wyoming state chapter president.

Veterans participating in the hunt were offered the unique opportunity to have their wild turkey fans mounted by local taxidermist and NWTF member Kyndell Flint of Talking Tom Taxidermy, who donated her time and expertise to support the event. In addition to donating the taxidermy work, she also helped organize the lunches and dinners for the event.

Following Saturday’s hunt, another dinner, open to the public, provided an opportunity for the community to come together and show support for our veterans. A significant highlight of the dinner was a silent auction, with the goal of raising funds for next year’s hunt. Generously donated by businesses and individuals across the state, the auctioned items raised funds to begin laying the foundation for future hunts, ensuring continued support and opportunities for veterans.
