ANOKA, Minnesota – March 31, 2021 – Federal Ammunition and sister brand Remington Ammunition announce the “President’s Award” to recognize an industry partner that has gone above and beyond normal business to elevate the hunting and shooting sports through acts of generosity, kindness, and advocacy. Jason Vanderbrink, President of Vista Outdoor Ammunition brands, has announced Reeds Family Outdoor Outfitters as the 2020 recipient of this prestigious award.
“It’s important to recognize the great work industry partners do for not only our products and brand, but what they do behind the scenes to further the mission of our industry,” says Vanderbrink. “I can’t think of better industry partners or more deserving than Jeff, Adam and Andrew Arnold at Reeds.”
In 2020, when conservation groups were struggling to complete their mission work without the traditional in-person banquets, the Reeds team stepped forward to allocate and subsidize ammunition to conservation groups for raffles that helped offset the loss of banquet revenue.
“The Reeds team is truly honored to receive this prestigious award,” says Adam Arnold, CEO. “We are truly humbled and honored by this award and appreciate the recognition of an act that was second nature to us,” stated Arnold. “When our industry friends and partners are in need of extra help, Reeds will be alongside them.”
To date, those efforts assisted in raising in excess of $300,000 dollars for conservation organizations to continue their missions of preserving habitat and flourishing wildlife populations. These organizations are vital in providing hunting and outdoor enthusiasts places to enjoy their passions and directly aligns with a core value in Federal’s mission.
Federal ammunition can be found at dealers nationwide or purchased online direct from Federal. For more information on all products from Federal or to shop online, visit www.federalpremium.com.
