Dan Zimmerman – Editor

After almost 12 years of editing another gun blog you may be familiar with, Dan jumped at the chance to get SNW up and running. Though coming to guns and shooting later than most, he’s a fan of everything that goes bang…but shotguns hold a special place in his heart. He’s loved being a Texan for the last decade while doing his best to navigate life in Austin.
