Dear Extreme Shock,
We now have .223's and 22
Hornets at four locations in Texas. One set with each of our state chapters.
This is because of Extreme Shock. We know that, no matter how sick or weak
our kids are, we have a way for them to have a successful hunt. Even the 22
Hornet becomes a REAL deer rifle with your ammo. This eliminates the
recoil/flinch in our smaller hunters. Let's face it, our special kids are not always
the best marksmen and when we can depend on terminal ballistics from small
calibers that helps! If there is .223 or 22 Hornet ammo available we are almost
out of both. We have two brothers coming who both have M.D. They are the sons
of an Army Sgt. still on active duty. Sarge is an Iraqi veteran and we plan
to make these boys hunt a Texas Safari. We also have the son of a New Orleans
Fire Fighter coming. He is a wonderful little kid with major medical
problems. These little guys will need all the help we can give them and that means
Extreme Shock. The requested ammo will be used on their hunts and the other
hunts we still have scheduled. Please, if possible, send a few loose .50 BMG
bullets. These are for bragging and showing off around some camp fires.
What Extreme Shock has done for our kids is absolutely wonderful!
Thanks, God Bless and Good Hunting,

Hey "Crow",
Salutations. I am writing in reference to your letter sent to Extreme Shock
ammo on the effects of their .223 ammo on your Texas whitetail. Would you
consider this ammo effective at 100 or 200 yards? What type of wounds did the
ammo produce on the deer your kids took? Did the bullets stay together and
penetrate well, or did they fragment quickly like a varmint round? I'm consid
ering this ammo for Missouri whitetail. They are a little bigger than Texas
whitetail I believe. I like the heavy bullets offered. From what I've read on
ballistics, the heavier ( high 60 and 70 ) grain bullets hold more energy out to
200 and 300 yards. How would these bullets compare to other .223 rounds your
kids have used there for whitetail? Thank you for your time. Any information
you can provide would be most helpful.

Hello Andy,
You have to understand, I am an Extreme Shock cheer leader by choice! Our
kids are usually not in the greatest shape and this ammo clinches a successful
hunt for them. On .223 performance, where do I start, this is personal
experience descriptions, OK? We have used both the 55 grain and the 62 grain
with equal success on Texas whitetails. ALL have been one shot, one kill in every
case. The terminal wounds have been deep penetration with bullet fragments.
The bullets have done exactly what they were designed to do, fragment and the
fragments penetrate in and through vitals. The range of our hunts have been
125 yards or less. Our young hunters are not the best marksmen and we strive to
get them as close as possible. The Extreme Shock ammo made it possible for
us to depend on the smaller calibers and their performance! Before Extreme
Shock the .223 was always a last resort and iffy then. Wow, 200 to 300 yards
with a .223!?!?! At this range I wouldn't use a .223. I would move up to at
least a .308 or maybe even a 30-06, still with Extreme Shock. Your talking about
deer with heavier body weight of up to and over 200 lbs. To me that is just
not what I would consider .223 type hunting. IF, I were to be forced to use
the .223 in this situation, I would ONLY depend on Extreme Shock to get the job
done!
My Hunt of a Lifetime endorsement of Extreme Shock is based on what I have
seen their ammo do for our special kids. Recently I took some of our guides,
outfitters and ranch owners on a wild boar/feral hog hunt. I forced them to use
.223's and furnished them with the Extreme Shock 55 grain ammo. There were
17 hogs taken with 17 shots! They were an amazed group of old die hard large
caliber fans. Recently I was on one of these ranches again. Would you believe
it, there was a brand new Savage .223 in all the ranch trucks. These are
carried for wounded animal tracking and varmints/predators if any are seen.
Every rifle was loaded with Extreme Shock ammo. The hog hunt made a believer
out of them.
As long as Extreme Shock makes ammo, Savage makes rifles and Buck Grub
makes attractants I know we can take a .223 and make the SPECIAL dream of some
very SPECIAL kids come true.

Dear Extreme Shock,
Just wanted to get this note out to let you know about my hog hunt today. I have to tell you I am more than impressed with the Full Face Round. It went like this:
I used the Fang Face round in .40 cal S&W and my Beretta 96. The dog found the hog way off in the distance and we raced toward her to see what she had found. When we approached the area I could see her in the palmettos but could not see a hog until we got closer. I rose for a shot but the hog was behind a large palm tree. We moved the buggy forward to reveal a nice two hundred pounder. It was an easy shot since Daisy the wonder dog had him at a loose bay. Notice I said a loose bay. About the time I was ready to shoot, the raging boar charged at the dog making her flee to the rear about twenty feet. Little did he know that by charging at her, it brought him out from behind the palm tree and dead into my sight picture.
One shot center shoulder and he buckled and stumbled backward. He danced for about eight feet and fell like a rock making only four or five deep gasps for breath before his demise. I am sure you are aware that the shoulder on wild hogs are extremely tough, thick and strong. >From mere weeks after birth they find telephone poles, trees, fence posts or any other suitable structure to rub against. They do this by instinct to build a shoulder of pure rock hard callus for their later years when fighting is so prevalent in their lives.
The Extreme Shock Fang Face Round did exactly what the company claims that it will do. The autopsy revealed that the entry wound in the outer skin was no more than the size of the bullet. However just under the skin was a totally different story. After peeling the outer hide back at the point of entry, Ole Fang Face had literally enlarged immediately upon entry into the hardened callus below. It expanded immediately leaving a gaping hole of three inches that tore through the callus, fat, meat and bone before entering the chest cavity. After which it took out both lungs. Surrounding the initial three inch entry wound a very visible concussion crater of approximately twice the size of the hole was very noticeable.

The most interesting discovery in studying the damage of this round was after we peeled the hide from the side of the hog opposite the entry wound. The fatty tissues underneath were absolutely splattered and speckled with tiny abrasions caused by the obvious frangible qualities of this round. The largest piece of material I could find from the round was less than half the size of a pin head. There was absolutely no trace of any exit wound.
Extreme Shock Fang Face Rounds will forever be in my private arsenal and definitely on every future hunting trip.
Your company has created an extremely effective target sensitive ammunition. I am very impressed.

Dear Extreme Shock,
I have been having problems on my farm lately with deer doing large amounts of crop damage.
I recently had the opportunity to test your Extreme Shock 357MAG Air Freedon round in my 2"
revolver on one of the deer. I have to admit, I was skeptical that this ammo would do everything
you promised, but after dropping a large body deer with one shot and opening it up to see the
damage don, you have made a believer out of me! This is, without a doubt, the most powerful and
safest ammunition on the market because there was no exit out of the deer. Now all my guns are
loaded with Extreme Shock ammo!

Dear Extreme Shock,
The effectiveness of even .38 rounds on bigs cats was such that i would have been inclined to be
disbelieving, had I not had first hand experience myself! You have delivered a prduct that i
believe will revolutionize the self-defense/military/sporting ammo realm.

Dear Extreme Shock,
I want to relay my findings and results of the ammunition tests that were conducted at the Extreme
Shock factory in Clintwood, VA.
The test results of the duty calibers (9mm, .40S&W, .45 ACP, & .45 GAP) were consistent with the
multiple tests we conducted on our range. All calibers showed adequate penetration and significant
expansion of the tungsten core. NO overpenetration was observed in balllistic gelatin, watermelon,
water jugs, etc. This ammunition produces significant trauma without the problem of collateral
damage. I feel these tests ratify our decision to adopt the Extreme Shock Ammunition as our
department duty/carry ammo.
Jeff Mullins, the owner of Extreme Shock Ammunition, asked me if I would like to go on a Wild Boar
hunt. I readliy agreed! He stated that they had previously taken a Wild Boar with a 9mm and .380
cal and would I try to take one with a 60 gr. 965 fps .32 ACP. I happened to have a KELTEC .23 that I
use as a backup with me. I must say I was somewhat concerned that this small caliber would be
effective, as I have shot wild boar before with much larger calibers and rifles and found them to be
very tough animals.
The wild boar that we found turned out to be 450bls on the hoof... a very large animal. The first
shot was app. 20 yards and the boar was quatered towards me. The round struck the boar in the breast
(chest) and was staggered. The board turned an ran but it was obvious that it was seriously affected
by the bullter as it was stumbling and the rear end would drag. After several yards we caught up with
the boar and the second shot was from 10-11 yards and was braodside (left) shot behind the shoulder.
The boar immediately collapsed and was totally incapacitated. Necropsy revealed that the first shot
entered the chest cavity and traveled below the heart producing significant trauma to the chest cavity
and heart area. This would have been a fatal round! The second shot went through the top of the heart
and lungs, also causing significant trauma to the area. The second round also hit a rib and
splintered it completely. The exit hole into the cavity was app. the size of a silver dollar.
I was amazed at the performance of this small caliber bullter! If this caliber of Extreme Shock
ammunition can effectively incapacitate a 450lb Wild Boar then this caliber should be very effective
for use as an off dty/backup. I recommend that this cilber be adopted and accepted for carry as an
off duty/backup.

Dear Extreme Shock,
The other day with my 45, I thought I just clipped a guy in the leg. After they removed the lower
half of his leg, these rounds have proved to me that they are the best ammo made. Even better
than the Black Talons. I would like to keep all my agent's guns full with extreme shock rounds. I
hope we can work it out. You make a quality product. I don't want to use anything else in my
arsenal.

Dear Extreme Shock,
I'm an ammo inspector for the US Army over in Kuwait and we're coming across some of your ammo
in our Amnesty boxes which is being purchased and used by soldiers in Iraq. This is very interesting
that the soldiers would think enough of you Extreme Shock ammo to want to use their own money to
purchase and bring it over here for combat. I'de like to get some additional information about these
rounds and especially some good pictures. Thanks.

Dear Extreme Shock,
I'm sorry to have taken so long to write you about your new extreme chock ammunition, but I have
only recently gotten a chance to test it. and these were not the tests i wanted to perform. Still
and all, your ammunition worked beautifully.
You see, here in Louisiana we have a rather bad feral dog problem. People abandon thier dogs in
the woods and swamps and the dogs go wild. And face it, a lot of the domestic dogs around here
are just plain mean. Although I am not an Animal Control Officer myself, I have a couple of
friends who are, and once in a while I will go out with the. Last week I shot two dogs using your
ammunition. In both instances I used a Marlin Camp Carbine, on in 9mm Parabellum and the other in
.45 ACP.
The first dong was a tan pit bull who had been "making fight" at some of the kids in this area,
and at the parents who tried to intercede. He came charging out of the brush at s, and i gave
him a bow shot that is, under the chin and straight into the chest from the front, with the 9mm.
The pit bull stopped as if he had run into an invisible wall, somersaulted over onto his back,
and just lay thre with his legs all a-sprawl and bloody foam pouring out of his mouth.
The second dog was a large feral Rottweiler, and for him I used nothing less than the .45 ACP.
He was quartering away from us at a dead run when i fired, and i ht him less than an inch behind
his rib cage. He went ass=over-teakettle into a thorn-bush and never moved again.
This morning I received a call from my Animal Control friend. The two dogs wre not rabid, he
assured me-- "just a couple of mean damn dogs" was the way he put it-- but he also wanted to
know just what the hell kind of bullets i'd shot them with. I explained about your Extreme Shock
ammunition, emphasizing that I had used it because it was made not to ricochet or exit its target
and explaining further that it was made of "some kind of sintered metal, completely lead free."
(Thereby concealing the fact that i do not know exactly what it is made of!) My friend said that
he had never seen anything like the damage those bullets did to those dogs; they completely
trashed the heart and lung area and the dogs were probably dead before the hit the ground.
He said he has seen Glaser Safety Slugs do less, and they are his round of choice because,
again, they cannot ricochet. He has also seen pit bulls hit by Glasers and simply shake their
heads and run the other way instead of falling over dead.
As for myself, I can tell you that i am very pleased with your ammunition. It will function in
Camp Carbines, it went exactly where i aimed it, the bullet hits like a rock, and the empty brass
ejected flawlessly without sticking. very soon (after taxes) I will order some of your
ammunition in 5.56 NATO.

Dear Extreme Shock,
I just got your shipment of trail ammo. I took it to work and looked over the info you sent with it
and spent a fair amount of time discussing it with my weapons training Sgt. We decided to take it
out and try it. I'll admit I was more than a little skeptical, especially when something seems too
good to be true, it usually is. We took about half the .38 & .357 to the range and some water filled
can and plastic bottles. The results AMAZED me! At a distance of less than 20 feet, they were not
penetrated, but blow apart! A three gallon water cooler bottle set on its side hit with a singel .38
special round had the neck disintegrated and the lettle red lid blown back toward the shooter and
finally folled to a stop nearly 30 feer behind him. The bottle was intact with the exception of the
4 to 5 inch hole where the neck used to be, the water shot up into the air a good 15 feet! Accuracy
was terrific. You have made believer and a customer! I was VERY impressed, he wasn't speechless, the
trick was shutting him up! I think he'll be sending in a glowing report to you as well. I have told
and retold the experience to otheres and will continue! The rounds not taken to the range are going
to be used by another officer on a hunting trip this weekend and hope to report his results just
after the new year, The .45 ammon i have loaded in with my original shells and cycled them through
(not fired yet), and they seem to be just as smooth as the others. If they prove to be anywhere near
as devastating, I cannot comprehend what it would do to the human body (or head).
