A Word from Fiocchi on their New Arkansas Steel

“August 2025 - CSG Member, Fiocchi of America, a leader in premium ammunition innovation, proudly introduces Arkansas Steel, the ultimate waterfowl hunting shotshell engineered for duck and goose hunters who demand uncompromising performance in the field.

The name pays homage to the storied waterfowling heritage of Arkansas and the famed Delta region — a place where world-class duck hunting traditions run deep. But while its roots honor the heart of the Mississippi Flyway, Arkansas Steel is lights-out no matter where you hunt. From the flooded timber of the Delta to the prairies of the Central Flyway or the coastal marshes of the Atlantic, this load is built to deliver results across the nation.

“Arkansas Steel is built for hunters who don’t settle for second best,” said Christian Hogg, Director of Marketing. “From flooded timber to open water, it’s engineered to cycle flawlessly, pattern tightly, and bring the kind of knockdown power that makes every shot count.””

Final Thoughts

With most waterfowl seasons now open across the US - or opening very soon - these new Fiocchi Arkansas Steel shells have perfect timing for hunters. If you don’t already have your shells for this season, these might be worth a “gander” (see what we did there). As always, let us know all of your thoughts in the Comments below!
