Excel Boats
In 2008, the town of Clinton, Arkansas and the Excel boat plant were devastated by a deadly F4 tornado. The new Excel Boat Company evolved from a heap of rubble with the goal and determination to produce the toughest and best-built aluminum boat that can be made. Every Excel boat that comes off the line is built above industry standards. Welds are all by hand, “one weld at a time.” Longitudinal ribs run the full length of the hull from bow to transom, providing superior strength and durability. Heavy-duty gunwales are engineered to take a beating. Excel boats are manufactured by outdoor enthusiasts. We share your passion. We pay meticulous attention to the details to ensure every outing with your Excel is more enjoyable and more successful.
Federal Premium Ammunition
Federal Premium® Ammunition began building shotshells in 1922, an era generally agreed as a low point in wildlife conservation. Much of America was being plowed up, and waterfowl habitat was being destroyed at record rates. From the beginning, company leaders realized that if Federal Ammunition was to be successful, America had to have healthy wildlife populations, or our customer base would disappear. In the 1930s, the federal government started Conservation Camps with 4H, supported the 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 make 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.
Fiocchi
Fiocchi was founded in 1876 in Lecco, Italy, and has been producing high-quality ammunition ever since. The tradition continues at Fiocchi’s Ozark, Missouri and Little Rock, Arkansas facilities—right in the heart of America. Hundreds of hardworking Americans produce some of the highest-quality shotshell, centerfire and rimfire ammunition available. American ingenuity fused with our Italian lineage keeps us focused on quality craftsmanship, innovation, and unequaled customer service.

Our Founder and President, Matthew Cagle grew up in the woods and water around Eastern North Carolina before heading to North Carolina State, where he graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering (barely). “I couldn’t stay out of the woods” says Matthew. “My best friend’s grandparents had a huge farm right outside of Raleigh where my dog and I played a lot of hooky.” These days Matthew spends a lot of his time behind his computer, or out in the field developing and testing new products. “To reach this level of success in such a short period of time is nothing short of a miracle. God has truly blessed me in having the support and friendship from my wife and kids.”

YETI
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 throughout 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.
