MICHAEL CRITES is el jefe around here. He has spent more than 30 years shooting, learning about guns, and collecting firearms old and new. He’s tried his hand at 3-gun, trap, and distance-shooting, but ultimately enjoys ringing steel in the back 40 of his farm. His mission is to make guns and shooting accessible for everyone, and American Firearms is a passion project to help make that a reality.
