In a significant move for hunter education and safety, Federal Ammunition has announced the renewal of its partnership with the International Hunter Education Association (IHEA-USA). This ongoing collaboration underscores Federal Ammunition's dedication to the advancement of hunting and shooting sports education across the nation.

Alex Baer, Executive Director of IHEA-USA, highlighted the enduring relationship between the two organizations, stating, "For many years, Federal Ammunition has supported hunter education and shooting sports education programs around the country. It would be very difficult to find a longer-standing partner in our community. Our relationship with Federal has been closely tied to our industry program growth at the IHEA. We appreciate their altruism and generosity!"

As part of the renewed partnership, IHEA-USA will continue to make its educational tools available to both instructors and students, further enriching the learning experience with a dedicated spread in Hunters Experience, the official student magazine. This initiative not only benefits current and aspiring hunters but also strengthens the backbone of hunter education and safety on a national scale.

Jon Zinnel, Director of Conservation and Education at Federal Ammunition, emphasized the company's commitment to the cause: "Over the years, the IHEA has really stepped up to support all students and has continued to modernize its courses. It’s great to see that this important organization offers several new firearm fundamental courses along with their traditional hunter education courses. Federal Ammunition applauds these efforts. Our company, and our employees, have been a long-time supporter of hunter education programs and consistent overall supporter to IHEA. It’s in our company’s DNA to support hunter safety programs and safeguard our hunting heritage, and we will continue to do so in the decades ahead."

The partnership also extends vital back-end support to IHEA-USA, enabling the association to leverage Federal Ammunition's resources and expertise. This support is crucial in maintaining the high standards of hunter education programs, facilitating the development of new courses, and ensuring the accessibility of educational materials to a broader audience.

Federal Ammunition's renewed support of IHEA-USA marks a continued commitment to preserving the heritage of hunting and promoting safety and education within the community. Both organizations look forward to further advancing their mission and making a lasting impact on the future of hunting and shooting sports.
