Overland Park, KS. --(AmmoLand.com)- World champion goose caller Scott Threinen, of Rochester, Minnesota has joined the Final Approach Advisory Staff.

Scott is an active contest caller who currently holds over 25 major calling titles, including:

• 2005 World Team Calling Champion
• 3-Time Northern National Champion

Scott grew up on a dairy farm outside a small town in Minnesota. With a large local population of geese in the area, he started hunting waterfowl at 12 years old. When he was 15 his parents would drop him off at fields to call for guided hunters in the renowned area of Rochester, Minnesota. Hunting and being outdoors was his passion, but he also excelled in sports in high school.
