Yamaha has
introduced two new recreational vehicles in a unique way-with a bang. The Rhino
700 Special Edition and the Grizzly 700 Special Edition are as similar as they
are different . and they both have highlight Yamaha's distinctive twist for
outdoorsmen.
Tactical
Black is the look for these two models based on the theme that has been
popularized by the gun industry. To set the table for its model introduction,
Yamaha invited journalists representing the ATV, hunting and firearms
industries to participate in a "ride and shoot" at Gunsite-a world renown
firearms training center that occupies 2000 acres about 25 miles north of
Prescott, AZ.
For three
days journalists received first-class training from Gunsite instructors on
firearm safety and use, while incorporating the Rhino 700 SE side-by-side and
Grizzly 700 SE ATV to access target ranges. Rugar Firearms provide two popular
guns-the SR9c compact pistol and SR-556 AR carbine rifle-to each journalist and
Hornady added boxes of ammunition.
Although
more information will be made available in the next issue of Dirt Toys, we wanted to offer some of
the highlights to this event through photos and captions.
