Episode 41: Federal Ammunition’s 100th Anniversary



Oregon, USA – On this episode of the Final Approach Podcast we are joined by JJ Reich Senior Media Relations Manager at Federal  Ammunition. We discuss the 100th anniversary of Federal Ammunition and all the accomplishments and innovations that have come from this incredible company .  We start at the first shotshells made in Anoka MN in 1922 and how some of the original machinery and buildings are still being used.   We take a walk down memory lane going back 100 years of ground breaking products in shotshell, rifle and handgun ammunition as well as a few industry standards that are still in place today.  We also talk conservation and how important Federal has been on keeping all of us in the field chasing our passion.  Federal has also supported our law enforcement and government agencies as well as had a huge hand in helping in the war efforts. Lots of great information if you are wing shooter, gun nut or just love hunting and history.

Episode 40: Snow Goose Hunting



Oregon, USA – This episode of the FA Podcast Mario is joined by one of our long-time friends of the FA family. Brad Fenson is a freelance outdoor writer who has chased every critter on this planet. He loves waterfowl hunting and is very knowledgeable especially with Snow geese. He is a master at talking about and setting decoy spreads for the white devils and is a master chef at cooking them once we pile them up. It is great to catch up with him as the snows are just arriving in his home province of Alberta Canada. Hope you join us for some great tips and talk about spring snows and chasing them.
