Federal Ammunition has renewed its commitment to The Duck Hunters Organization as a Champion of Delta industry partner.

"We are proud to continue our partnership with Delta Waterfowl,” said Josh Vickers, Federal's shotshell product manager. "We share their long-standing commitment to waterfowl conservation, Duck Production, and protecting the future of waterfowl hunting. The work Delta does through their research, Hen House, and Predator Management programs is critical to the continued success of waterfowl, which in turn, puts more ducks over our consumers' decoys. We look forward to many more years of support."

Since its founding in 1922, Federal Ammunition has been driven by the spirit of innovation to help hunters and shooters in and out of the field. That legacy continues through the brand’s game-changing products like Speed-Shok and Black Cloud, which remain staples among waterfowl hunters nationwide.

“You can’t talk sporting ammunition without talking about Federal,” said Chris Williams, senior director of industry partnerships for Delta Waterfowl. “They’re a leader in the industry and maintain a tireless dedication to improving the future for hunters and the wildlife they pursue. We’re proud to be among the conservation initiatives that Federal chooses to champion.”

In addition to renewing as a Champion of Delta, Federal has returned as the presenting sponsor of the Delta Waterfowl Duck Hunters Expo for the fourth consecutive year. This year’s event takes place July 25 to 27 in Oklahoma City and will bring together tens of thousands of waterfowl hunters from across North America.

You can look for the Delta Waterfowl logo proudly displayed on boxes of Federal’s Speed-Shok waterfowl loads in-store, online, and in the Federal booth on the show floor of Delta’s upcoming Duck Hunters Expo.

Behind the Bullet: The .22 Long

If we could rewind the clock to 1871, before the .45-70 Government and .45 Colt existed, and when cartridges themselves were just establishing a foothold in the shooting world, you’d find a pair of .22-caliber rimfire designs: the .22 Short and the .22 Long. Aptly named, these cartridges would survive well into the 20th century, ultimately being conquered by the .22 Long Rifle cartridge. But in certain situations, the .22 Long cartridge still makes good sense, and actually has a few specialized applications.
