Federal Premium® Ammunition began building shotshells in 1922, an era generally agreed was a low point in wildlife conservation. Much of America was being plowed up, and waterfowl habitat was being destroyed at record rates. Company leaders from the very beginning realized that if Federal Ammunition was to be successful, America had to have healthy wildlife populations or our customer base would go away. In the 1930’s Federal started Conservation Camps with 4H, supported passage of the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Conservation Act, and advertised with cartoons preaching a conservation ethic.
That commitment to wildlife conservation is still core to Federal’s business philosophy as is our commitment to innovation to provide the most effective product hunters and target shooters can buy. BLACKCLOUD ® shotshells are an example of that innovation, featuring game changing technology in the FLITECONTROL ® wad, and FLITESTOPPER ® pellets that increase lethality, and reduce wounding loss. After all, clean kills makes for good conservation. Look for the Delta Waterfowl logo proudly displayed on our Speed-Shok ® waterfowl loads. We display that logo because we believe that Delta has the vision and the courage to sustain waterfowl and waterfowl hunters, and we think all our customers should be members.

The BOSS Shotshell company is an unmuzzled, pro-2A, family-owned small business with a massive workforce of eight folks. We freely design and manufacture, copper-plated nontoxic loads at our small facility in Bridgman, Michigan and only sell direct to keep the cost of our hard-hitting, lead-like performance within reach of all hunters.
Our customer always comes first. That’s not up for debate and evidenced by the service you’ll get when calling or emailing The Shop or by contacting us through various social channels. If you’ve got questions, we’re always here to help. If we’re one thing, we’re old-school hunters with a collection of old Retrievers and even older stories to back that up. Always have been. It’s a DNA thing.
Dive a little deeper and you’ll find BOSS is also company with some informed opinions, and we’re not shy about speaking our mind. That’s the unmuzzled spirit so critical to who we are. We’re committed to being a positive force in hunting at a time when ‘authenticity’ seems to have come to a crossroads. We believe in true woodsmanship like patterning your shotguns, lessening the drastic number of crippled birds each year and that conservation is far more than a cool-kids club. It’s a responsibility that falls on every single one of us.

In 2006, we founded YETI Coolers with a simple mission: build the cooler we’d use every day if it existed. One that was built for the serious outdoor enthusiast rather than for the mass-discount retailers. One that could take the abuse we knew we’d put it through out in the field and on the water. One that simply wouldn’t break. We decided early on that product innovation would come from necessity and firsthand experience – not from market research and data analysis. Today, YETI products perform when it matters most – whether that be an excursion into the remote Alaskan wilderness, chasing mallards in the timber, or just getting together with friends in the backyard.
