The Gun Experiment

thegunexperiment

We experiment with concepts in guns, gear and training; all while having conversations about interesting things, with interesting people. Yes, we will talk about guns, but not just guns because humans weren’t meant to be one dimensional. The gun is merely a tool and we believe the person is the true weapon. We want to explore different ways to make this “weapon” better in mind, body and spirit. Experiment...everyday. read less
