Today was a big day for us at Karma Airguns...but first, a moment of reflection.
From Donny...
"Just shy of the one-year anniversary of the first Red Panda prototype arriving in the US, we at Karma Airguns are reflecting on a remarkable journey throughout 2023. In a year marked by unprecedented victories, the underdog emerged triumphant, etching its name in the annals of airgun history.
Entering the largest airgun competition in the United States with ten prototype airguns, the Red Panda faced off against a field of hundreds of well-established contenders. Against all odds, father-son duo Val and Thayne Simmons seized the spotlight, clinching first and second place, respectively, at the Rocky Mountain Airgun Challenge.
Thayne Simmons, for whom the RP is named, further solidified his legacy by achieving the highest score in the 100-yard bench competition, an impressive 239. His feats didn't stop there. In a display of unparalleled skill and determination, Thayne repeated victories in back-to-back-to-back, major 100-yard benchrest competitions, a feat unmatched by any competitor in the history of the sport.
The culmination of these achievements within the span of a single year underscores the extraordinary prowess of the Red Panda prototype and the unwavering dedication of its handlers. As Karma Airguns looks ahead, it remains committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation and excellence in the world of airgun technology.
The Karma Airguns team is eagerly anticipating your experience with our purposefully designed bench gun. We're thrilled to announce the official release of the production-ready Red Panda in the United States, now available for purchase. Dealers can expect their shipments to arrive shortly."
The first batch of RP's are all bench/pellet focused .30 cal air rifles, but other calibers and slug optimized barrels are coming soon.
