How Firearms Shaped Hunting

Elevate the Hunt

Logan Metesh is a historian with a focus on firearms history and development. He runs High Caliber History LLC. With more than a decade of experience working for the Smithsonian Institution, the National Park Service, and the NRA Museums, his ability to present history and research in an engaging manner has made him a sought after consultant, writer, and museum professional. The ease with which he can recall obscure historical facts and figures makes him very good at Jeopardy!, but exceptionally bad at geometry.
