Federal Premium® and Pheasants Forever Reach Conservation Milestone

Federal Premium® also introduces Pheasants Forever Steel loads

A Great Start on Forever: August 2008 The partnership between Federal Premium® and Pheasants Forever has reached a new level. Federal recently produced the 15 millionth PF shell at its Anoka, Minnesota, facility. This is good news for pheasants as a portion of the proceeds from each box sold goes directly to this grassroots habitat organization.

Federal Premium has been a longtime partner of PF, and each one of the specially marked boxes gives money directly to this important organization. At a time when vital Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres are being threatened, these funds enable PF to keep doing what they do best-protect and improve habitat.

"This has been a great program for both of us," said Marketing Director Kyle Tengwall. "Conservation is very important to Federal Premium. Having partners like PF who remain dedicated to improving and preserving wildlife is a must. These organizations are vital to our heritage, and we're proud to be associated with Pheasants Forever."

Federal Premium is also expanding its royalty program this year with the introduction of Pheasants Forever Steel loads. These new offerings will provide hunters with great options in areas where lead shot is not permitted. Initially they will be available in 12 and 20 gauges 3", #3 and #5 options.

For more information on PF Steel loads, as well as the rest of the Federal Premium line-up, visit www.federalpremium.com.

Federal Premium® Ammunition also produces Wing-Shok® Quail Forever loads, available in 12 and 20 gauges, #7.5 and #8 options. Federal makes a donation to Quail Forever's (QF) habitat work for every box of QF-labeled shells sold. These QF loads were designed specifically with quail hunters in mind and are some of the best loads on the market for the avid quail hunter. Northerners will also find the Quail Forever offerings to be an excellent choice for ruffed grouse and woodcock. One 20-gauge and two 12-gauge options will be loaded to just the right velocity for maximum effectiveness on these smaller game birds.

The Quail Forever loads are the only ammunition with a portion of the proceeds being dedicated to quail conservation. Federal and QF are hoping to replicate the immense success of Federal's PF offerings, the first ammunition with a portion of the proceeds being dedicated to conservation.
