EP. 289: Shotshell Ballistics and Innovation with Federal Ammunition’s Dan Compton

Host Bob St.Pierre is joined by Federal Ammunition’s Global Shotgun Shell Director Dan Compton and PF & QF’s Vice President of Corporate Partnership’s Chris Kalis for a conversation about shotshell ballistics, patterning a shotgun, and new ammunition innovations on the horizon. Episode Highlights: • Compton provides step-by-step guidance on how to pattern a shotgun with different distances, chokes, and shotshells. • The guys also discuss Federal Ammunition’s creation of Prairie Storm in 2011 and how it almost got named “Ringneck Rocket.” • Additionally, Compton reveals that Federal Ammunition will be releasing a bismuth and steel blend of Prairie Storm featuring the Pheasants Forever logo next year. • Finally, Compton explains how Quail Forever members can help get more QF shotshells on store shelves. onX Hunt is a proud supporter of Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever and they want to thank everyone who gives back to the birds we all love to hunt and the places they call home.
