"Shotgun fit is everything. It’s about making the gun feel like an extension of yourself. If the fit is right, you don’t have to think about the mechanics—you just react. It’s that perfect connection that lets you focus on the target, not the tool in your hands." – Josh Richmond

Michael N.
Michael, a dedicated salesman, fondly remembers the day his father first explained gun safety to him when he expressed his interest in hunting. He listened as his father spoke about the importance of respect, responsibility, and caution when handling firearms. Though he wouldn’t fire a gun that day, the lesson stuck with him, reinforcing the value of discipline and awareness, qualities that would later shape his professional and personal life.
It wasn’t until a later visit to a family friend's cabin in central Pennsylvania that Michael fired a gun for the first time. The sharp crack of the 12 gauge and the recoil filled him with a mix of excitement and newfound respect. He quickly realized that shooting required patience, focus, and control, skills that would prove just as valuable in his sales career. Though his path led him into the business world, those early lessons in responsibility and precision remained with him, influencing how he builds his firearm systems as well as trust and relationships with clients.
Michael's Advice?: "Plan carefully and buy accordingly, excess kit and firearms will only take you so far".
