We're here with Joe Kugin from Benelli now Joe exactly what is your title

Tom I'm the brand marketing manager for Benelli USA okay and of course a lot of people

know you from all the TV work you've done hunting all over the place

but it's not really a job but it's a sure is a good from all over the place.

I mean, it's not really a job, but it sure is a good gig.

Well, I have to say I can't complain too much about it.

The show is called Benelli on assignment and basically it's

Doing the things in the field with the writers the photographers and the editors that I've come to know in all of the years that I was involved with magazine work and whatnot

Right because you and I knew each other way back doing magazine work together. Yeah absolutely so what we do is we'll we'll go to the field will field test one of the

Benelli USA products which includes not just Benelli but also Stoker

Fronky which is what we're focused on here today stoker air guns and stoker

stoga ergung to birdie and of course fronky lots of different guns to play

with so what do we show here what What's Frankie been up to?

Frankie has, we've taken Frankie through what we call a rebranding.

Basically, we're breathing new life into the brand with some new product and we've got two over and under shotguns in what we call the instinct line and then the semi-auto is a an inertia driven gun that we call the affinity.

All of these guns are available in 12 and 20 gauge.

Okay, now a lot of people say Franci and you hear it a lot of different ways but franckey is the correct way is it

franckey is the is the pronunciation that's correct okay and of course I go way

back with the franckey line back one of dad's favorite woodcock guns was the Frankie 48.

Absolutely and the 48 AL is still in the line.

Now we have it in the 20 and 28 gauge and this year we've added the what we call the Prince of Wales

version which is a Prince of Wales stock on the 48 a L in a 20 gauge
