Back in 1988,
Federal and
Pheasants Forever partnered to offer the first ammunition with a portion of the retail price donated to conservation. Since then Federal has donated nearly $120,000 to PF including $25,000 last year alone. This year Federal is also helping out
Quail Forever by making a contribution to QF’s habitat work for every box of QF-labeled shells sold. Grouse and woodcock hunters shouldn’t feel slighted since the loads are also suitable for northern bird hunters. Wing-Shok Quail Forever Loads are available in 20 gauge (1-ounce at 1165 fps velocity in number 8 shot) and two 12-gauge loads (1-1/8-ounce at 1200 fps velocity (available in #7.5’s and #8’s). I have not yet tried the Federal loads but knowing a potion of the cost goes to quail habitat restoration does make me want to try them out.

Good post and a great move by Federal. Back when I shot trap competitively I only used Federal paper shells. They patterned great!
