Il museo italiano della Beccaccia ha pubblicato un video. La beccaccia è un vero maestro dell'adattamento, in grado di tollerare con destrezza anche forti schiocchi freddi durante lo svernamento. Con l'aiuto del suo lungo becco sensibile, scava il terreno alla ricerca di vermi e insetti, anche sotto strati di neve soffice. Il terreno non è congelato, e questa è la cosa principale. L'areale della beccaccia comprende quasi interamente l'ecozona paleartica. Dall'Europa fino alle isole atlantiche (Azzorre, Canarie) e le isole britanniche, l'Asia fino alla Cina, Mongolia, e Tibet. In Italia si trova nel periodo dello svernamento, tra ottobre e marzo, nei boschi, meglio se misti a caducifoglie, con prevalenza di betulle, carpini, frassini, querce, robinie, castagni, ontani, larici e faggi, ma anche abeti, e pini, in primavera nidifica in un'ampia fascia di territorio che comprende il nord Europa e l'Asia centrale.

Durante il fine settimana, io e i miei amici decidiamo di fare una gita di caccia con il nostro cane. Partiamo presto al mattino e raggiungiamo la nostra destinazione in montagna dopo un paio d'ore di macchina. Arrivati sul posto, ci prepariamo per la caccia. Indossiamo i nostri abiti mimetici e controlliamo le nostre armi. Il nostro cane, un bel segugio italiano, è eccitato e pronto per iniziare. Camminiamo lungo i sentieri di montagna alla ricerca di tracce di cinghiali. Dopo un po', sentiamo il nostro cane abbaiare e capiamo che ha trovato qualcosa. Ci avviciniamo cautamente e vediamo un gruppo di cinghiali che si muove tra i cespugli. Prendiamo le nostre posizioni e attendiamo silenziosamente.

How Does Benelli’s Inertia-Driven System Work? A Hunter’s Deep Dive into Legendary Reliability If you’ve ever shouldered a Benelli shotgun in the field, you’ve likely felt the difference. It’s not just the balance or the Italian craftsmanship - it’s the Inertia-Driven® system, the heart of Benelli’s semi-automatic legacy. As a lifelong hunter and firearms enthusiast, I’ve trusted this system in rain, snow, dust, and heat. Let me break down how it works, why it matters, and what makes it stand apart from gas-operated shotguns. ⚙️ The Core Principle: Recoil, Not Gas Unlike gas-operated shotguns that siphon off combustion gases to cycle the action, Benelli’s Inertia-Driven system uses pure recoil energy.

Once the spring reaches full compression, it expands, driving the bolt rearward to eject the
