About McKenzie Hanson

McKenzie first became interested in guns as a teenager when her uncle, a firearms instructor at a large training facility, introduced her to shooting. Once she turned 21, she began training at her local range and bought her first gun to carry for self-defense.

She’s spent the last decade working various jobs in the industry, including slinging guns behind the gun counter and at gun shows, as a range officer, and as a writer and editor for Target Barn. In her spare time, McKenzie likes to shoot USPSA, Steel Challenge, and NRL22 matches as well as train with various instructors to hone her shooting skills.

You can find her work at Target Barn’s The Broad Side blog.
