Since 1965, hunters and shotgunners nationwide have poured Winchester AA shotshells through their guns. In 2015 they can continue to do so, and celebrate the 50th anniversary of AA loads with the purchase of a commemorative case of the famous shells.

At retailers, look for a commemorative antiqued wooden box (made in America!) chock full of 250 rounds of AA light 8's, a favorite for trap, skeet and sporting clays. When the shells are gone, the box makes a nice repository for keepsakes from the field.
