From November to February, you can find thousands of HEVI-shot shells being used by a world class operation called FowlCo Outfitters in Garber, Oklahoma. This past season I met up with Jason Vanderbrink - CEO of The Kinetic Group, Tom Debolt - CEO of Benelli USA, and Rob Roberts - Founder of Rob Roberts Custom Gun Works for a few days of hunting hard, strengthening relations, and testing product.
FowlCo was founded by Josh Teff, John David Blagg, Aaron Seifritz, and Herrel Long Jr to provide their clients with an unparalleled bird hunting and lodging experience. They and their team are coming up on their sixth year of operation, setting the standard for what it means to be a world-class operation. Partnering with them in different capacities from the very start, FowlCo is an operation and team that I am proud to partner with, and I know HEVI-shot is proud to have as a select ammunition partner.
Guide life and hunting is hard work in the midwest of Oklahoma. Every day seems to bring it’s own challenges with conditions and elements whether it’s high winds, heavy rain, extreme mud, or sideways snow. Regardless of the conditions, clients are there to have the best experience possible, and that’s exactly why FowlCo utilizes HEVI-shot for their clients to shoot. During our trip, we shot HEVI-XII & HEVI-Bismuth through Benelli 12, 20, and 28 gauges.
The hunting is only half of the experience with the other half being the environment they create at the lodge. The architecture and design of the lodge is a sportsman’s paradise where you can lounge with world class food, beverages, music, and entertainment. Some of my favorite meals I’ve had have been prepared by the FowlCo chefs. Post-hunt stories, warm fires, good drinks, and watching ducks on their wetlands refuge makes it hard to want to ever leave, but sure makes you want to come back.
When it comes to selecting an outfitter to hunt with, it’s important to choose an operation that not only has a large stack of performance evidence and credibility, but also utilizes the best products on the market. Just like shooting the best ammunition with HEVI-shot, choosing an outfitter that operates with high standards is worth it every time. You can only be successful with the right people, products, perspective, and performance. FowlCo has all of that and more. They're making dreams come true by building a culture that people want to be a part of, and that HEVI-shot and myself is proud to align with.

HEVI-Bismuth
Step up your game when you get into the blind with ammunition that works as hard as you do. HEVI-Shot® HEVI-Bismuth™ Waterfowl is 22 percent denser than steel, which lets you drop a shot size from your go-to steel payload yet deliver the same duck-dropping lethality. Pushed at blistering velocities, the payloads provide performance that fills limits, and they're safe to shoot in modern and classic shotguns.
