Super Six Classic Corporate Tradeshow Video

Media Development for Market Differentiation

We were contacted by the fine folks at Super Six Classic to produce a demonstration video of the company's Bison Bull .45-70 handgun to be aired at the 2011 SHOT show in Las Vegas. Super Six had been trying to counter several misconceptions regarding the .45-70 round since the inception of the new handgun, so the company needed to showcase the firearm in action. Having handled our fair share of high quality firearms, we were curious about how this six-gun would compare to more traditional handgun calibers. So off we headed, with gear in tow, to local sportsman’s club Fin ‘N’ Feather in Palmyra, WI on a lovely November day to film this beast and possibly squeeze off a few rounds ourselves.

The objective of the day was fourfold – to demonstrate the overall functionality and handling of the Bison Bull, to compare the recoil of the Bison Bull .45-70 to a traditional .44 magnum, in this case a Ruger Redhawk, to document an average grouping from a factory Bison Bull at 25 yards, and to showcase some real world impact results from the .45-70 round.

Gregg Stuart, president of the Fin ‘N’ Feather, was on site to lend his expertise as well as the club’s resources to the staff from Super Six Classic. This was Gregg’s first time handling the Bison Bull which enabled him to provide some key insight relative to his Ruger .44 magnum and compare previous experiences with .45-70 caliber handguns from other manufacturers to the Bison Bull.

The edit we provided Super Six Classic is contained above, highlighting the action from that November morning which Super Six Classic successfully presented at the 2011 SHOT show in Las Vegas. After firing off a few rounds at the range that day, we believe the .45-70 round in the Bison Bull is a breeze to shoot, consistent with the action portrayed in this promotional clip. We later returned to the company to shoot promotional stills of the firearms for distribution through various publications.
