About
What it is, and why it matters
The Kolar Max Skeet is a premium American-made over/under competition shotgun built by Kolar Arms of Racine, Wisconsin, and purpose-designed for the sport of skeet. Chambered in 12 gauge with 2.75-inch chambers, it uses a break-action design with stacked over/under barrels (offered in 30- or 32-inch lengths) and a mechanical, all coil-spring-driven trigger group with a patented interlock that prevents doubling. It features an adjustable tapered ramp rib with an adjustable point of impact, extra-long forcing cones, a six-way adjustable comb, and an English walnut stock with a beavertail forend, and it can accept AAA sub-gauge tube sets in 20, 28, and .410 bore.
Kolar Arms grew out of the AAA sub-gauge tube business and made its name supplying the ultra-competitive American skeet circuit, where the Max Skeet's swap-in 20, 28, and .410 tube sets let a shooter run all four gauges on a single trigger and frame.
Offered in Standard and Lite models, with either a fixed tapered ramp rib or a fully adjustable tapered ramp rib. Widely campaigned on the American skeet circuit. The optional MAX AAA tube sets convert the 12-gauge gun to 20, 28, and .410 bore for four-gauge skeet competition.

Trajectory
What the round does downrange
Solved from the muzzle figures and the bullet. The dashed rule is the effective range on the record, and the crosses are the steps the solver returned.
No load solved for this record yetThe flight path is computed from a cartridge and a bullet. This record has no ammunition filed against its chambering, so there is nothing to solve.
