The Powder Keg connection
Many years searching a quality shotgun affordable to aspiring sport shooters culminated in a partnership between The Powder Keg and Huglu – a partnership founded on shared values and a passion to bring the sport of shotgun shooting and hunting to every aspiring “shotgunner”.
The choice of Huglu was more than quality and cost alone, but chemistry in shared values and a mutual discovery of the competence, passion and professional leadership of the Huglu and The Powder Keg organizations.
The greatest partnerships are born out of recognition of the future capacity for long term success vs. the immediate; they are mutually beneficial and inclusive of the manufacturer (Huglu), the distributor (The Powder Keg) and YOU (the customer).
The Powder Keg stocks Huglu shotguns in 12 and 20 gauge, in both over and under and side by side models. Side by side model shotguns are experiencing a massive resurgence of popularity in the field for its pure elegance, tradition and point ability. Similarly gaining popularity is the 20 gauge due to lower recoil, slim design and a greater shooting challenge than a 12 gauge.
Huglu make a range of quality exhibition shotguns with beautiful hand engraving and highest grade stocks at a fraction of the price of other shotguns in the same class. Come to The Powder Keg to see examples of these exhibition shotguns which are available on special order.
