Camo is the New Black’s Co-Founder Whitney was beyond excited to learn about Syren shotguns for women at this year’s SHOT Show. And when we saw this review from Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever’s Vice President of Marketing Bob St. Pierre we had to share it. Do any of you use a Syren? We wonder how these guns field test and would love to know what you think!

Most of us have been there before, in the field with a girlfriend, wife or mom who has shown an interest in watching the family bird dog work and experiencing the “rush of the flush.” With good intentions all around, we hand over our shotgun for the day. However, like golf clubs and hunting boots, shotguns aren’t comfortable fits for both genders, even if it includes pink highlights. Enter Caesar Guerini. Last year at SHOT Show, Caesar Guerini introduced the new Syren shotgun specially engineered for the female hunter and sporting clays shooter. The Syren product introduction and subsequent sales have been so successful Syren stands alone as its own division at this year’s SHOT Show.
- Trigger Finger: The Syren closed the distance between the stock’s grip and the trigger to better fit a woman’s hand. In fact, many models include adjustable triggers for your own personal fit.
- Stock Length: Known as the “length of pull,” Syren also closed the distance from the trigger to the butt of the stock to better fit a woman’s shorter arm length.
- Pocket Fit: The “pocket” is the area between the shoulder and chest where a shotgun’s stock rests against the body. In the Syren, the cast and pitch (angle of stock horizontal and vertical relative to barrel) have been modified to better fit a women’s body.
- Cheek Comfort: In general, women have longer necks leading to a greater distance between a female shooter’s eye and shoulder pocket. This variable is a big deal when a standard men’s fitted shotgun recoils and slaps against the female shooter’s cheek. In the Syren line, their shotguns feature higher “Monte Carlo” style combs for a better fit against the cheek.
- Elegant Design: The Syren will never be confused for a “meat stick.” The entire Syren line features gorgeously engraved receivers and the stock’s grip also includes Syren’s signature engraved roses on the Turkish walnut stock.
