Ever since his father introduced him to hunting and the outdoors at an early age, David "Doc" Frederickson has maintained a passion for collecting ammo memorabilia and cartridges, specifically those made by Federal Premium . For more than 50 years, Frederickson — who is not, and has never been, a Federal Premium employee — amassed a vast collection cataloging Federal's unique history over the years.
At the 2015 NRA Annual Meeting and Exhibits , Federal Premium chose to recognize Frederickson's collecting efforts by presenting him with the title of Honorary Company Historian and a commemorative trophy.
Federal also produced a short film highlighting Frederickson's incredible story, which aired at the show. In addition to documenting his life as a collector, the film shows Frederickson's dedication to others as a public servant, touching on his time spent serving in the air force in Vietnam and his later careers in emergency medicine and law enforcement.
For a closer look at Frederickson and his expansive collection, check out the short film below.
