When Dawn Rises, Paint It Red!

08/14/2026

Things are looking a lot different heading into waterfowl season this year.

Last season, every Red Dawn shell was loaded on single-stage machines—one shell at a time. Production was limited to around 100–120 shells per hour, which meant a lot of long days at the bench, often from 2 PM to 2 AM, just trying to keep up with orders.

Since February, I’ve added three semi-automated loading machines to the bench, and they’ve completely changed what I’m able to produce. Each machine allows me to load between 450–600 shells per hour, meaning less time waiting on orders and more Red Dawn shells getting into the hands of customers when they need them.

The equipment may have changed, but what goes into every shell hasn’t.

I’m excited for another waterfowl season and, more than anything, grateful to see hunters continue to trust Red Dawn shells in the field. Knowing that something I loaded will be there for the early mornings, first birds, limits with friends, and memories made in the blind is what makes all those long days worth it.

Here’s to another season.

Let’s talk about making memories…
This turkey wasn’t just another bird—it was a first. A first turkey for a gentleman on land that means everything to him. Land he had just inherited from his grandfather, following the passing of his father.
Along with the farm came something even more special—his grandfather’s 113-year-old 16 gauge. A piece of history, now back in the field where it belongs.
He grew up never chasing turkeys, but this year he decided it was time.
A buddy of mine reached out and told me the story. What he wanted to do, what it meant to him—and right then, I was all in on making it happen.
A few days later, this photo came through… along with a story that’s hard to beat. Not just a successful hunt, but a dream fulfilled. The kind of moment that sticks with you for a lifetime.

This is why I do it; it’s the only reason I do it.

Helping make a memory that will last a lifetime.

In a world where we always want “longer” shells, “larger” payloads, & “more” pellets; this little guy, at 4 years old, just killed his first turkey using a 2.5” 410 3/4oz TSS shell.

You can do a lot with “longer”, “larger”, & “more” but I’ll tell you what you can’t do.. make a memory like this.

Bringing the youth into the outdoors earlier and keeping the older generation in it longer; that’s just what I’ll do here at Red Dawn Shotshells.
