Federal’s Force X2 Shotshell a Golden Bullseye Award Winner

ANOKA, Minnesota –– The National Rifle Association’s (NRA) Shooting Illustrated magazine selected Federal’s Force X2 shotshell to receive the Golden Bullseye Award for 2022 Ammunition Product of the Year. Federal was recognized with the award during a special reception on Friday, May 27, 2022, at the 2022 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas.

“The team at Federal Ammunition is very proud to have received yet another Golden Bullseye Award from the NRA Publications,” said Federal Ammunition President, Jason Vanderbrink. “The Force X2 shotshell signals a big change in buckshot ammo. To receive this award from Shooting Illustrated magazine affirms that this round will be a great performer in close-range personal defense situations.”

Force X2’s nine copper-plated 00 FX2 buckshot pellets are specially engineered to split into two equal-size pieces on impact. This creates up to 18 wound channels, improves the transfer of energy from the payload to the target, and minimizes the potential for over-penetration, reducing the risk to bystanders. Force X2 is also loaded for more manageable recoil, allowing the shooter to stay on target for faster follow-ups and better accuracy in a self-defense situation. Read more

Federal Ammunition Turns 100

North American Arms is pleased to announce that today (04/26) it became an employee-owned company. After a 30-year run as president/owner of this manufacturer of “Convenient, Reliable, Effective” mini-revolvers and small semiautomatic pistols, Sandy Chisholm has sold the company to an Employee Stock Ownership Trust which, over the course of the next “several” years, will annually distribute equity ownership pieces of the company to the employees of NAA, at no cost to the employees. This is intended to be a retirement and motivational vehicle.

Chisholm explained that he chose this means of exit for several reasons. First was his interest in sharing the success of his small business with the employees who were responsible for building it. “As many people know, I’ve been a very remote owner since I purchased the business in 1992. I have lived in both suburban Philadelphia and now Naples FL, which is some distance from the factory’s location in Provo, UT. While I’ve made literally 100s of trips over the years to visit the facility and my employees, I’ve always depended heavily on those at the factory to operate the business. Apart from financial support and enthusiastic encouragement, my contributions have been very modest”.

Chisholm also acknowledged his interest in maintaining the business’s independence and stability in the Provo community. “Yes, I’ve had several unsolicited “expressions of interest” from other manufacturers in the firearms industry. NAA dominates its small niche for concealed carry firearms and enjoys an over-sized brand and reputation for quality and customer service that would burnish any other manufacturer’s reputation. Unfortunately, that would almost certainly lead to a relocation of this business and the loss of jobs for all those who I want to protect and reward”, he added. “This route assures that stability”.
