In 2017, Mossberg announced the release of its unique 590 Shockwave, a shortened, shotshell-firing “firearm,” per ATF, that did not require regulation under the National Firearms Act. The Shockwave was shorter than traditional shotguns and did not use a shoulder stock, but it still maintained the 590’s pump-action mechanism. In 2025, Mossberg added to the category with its 990 Aftershock, which uses a semi-automatic operating mechanism while still maintaining a compact form factor.

00:00:00 Speaker 1: One hundred and fifty years ago, out on the prairie of the northern Great Plains, hunters sat on sagebrush covered hills, marveling seemingly endless herds of bison. For as long as Americans had known this land, these animals had existed in the tens of millions, and these hunters surely thought that this abundance would last just as long into the future. This wealth of wildlife was assumed to be infinite, here forever taken or granted. But it did end. By the late eighteen eighties, the Great American bison herd had plummeted from somewhere north of thirty million…

No matter how good of an angler you are, there’s nothing more challenging or frustrating than trying to catch a fish in clear, low water.Whether you’re targeting trout, panfish, bass, pike, muskie, or even catfish, when clear water gets low, every species out there becomes spookier than a rabbit in a vegetable garden. This doesn’t mean you can’t catch fish…
