• RIO sponsored shooter, Catherine Rios, helped Team USA take gold at the LXXXIV World Championship of Flyers in Mexico.

Catherine Rios, RIO Ammunition sponsored shooter, helped Team USA win the 84th World Championship of Flyers held in Toluca, Mexico last week.

Shooting RIO Vintage 1896 Paper loads, this is Catherine’s third World Championship win. She also won the 2018 World Champion at the LXXXII World Championship of Flyers and the 2018 World Team Champion at the World Championship of Flyers, as well as the High Overall Champion at the 2019 Super Flyers Invitational.

Catherine’s father, coach and fellow competitor, Juliá Rios says, “Catherine and her teammates, Shea Self and Stacie Segebart, triumphed over a talented field of international shooters to secure the gold medal for Team USA, for the fifth time in the last six years.”

Anything But Old…

RIO Vintage 1896 Paper loads are reminiscent of days passed; however, are anything but under powered. Though the distinct smell of a paper hull lingers, these loads are specifically engineered to operate flawlessly in today’s modern shotguns, as well as your cherished inherited firearms.

Named after the year RIO’s parent company began making its first cartridge, Vintage Paper 1896 have a more environmentally friendly paper hull instead of plastic and are ideal for clays and flyers. Available in 12 gauge, 2-3/” shells with varying ounces and shot sizes, the champion in you will find the exact load for your discipline.
