Patrick Meitin was born and raised in the American West, was taught to safely shoot firearms at the age of 8, and hunting and reloading soon followed as a teenager. Trapping and predator hunting payed the bills after high school, and although his passion for big-game hunting eventually changed to the use of bows and arrows, his pursuit of varmints and predators with firearms has paralleled his intense pursuit of archery. Precision long-range shooting and handloading ammunition remain his focus, as well as tinkering with several firearm combinations to pursue performance. Meitin has written thousands of articles for numerous publications including Deer & Deer Hunting, Peterson's Bowhunting, Outdoor Life and more, and is the author of three previous books: Bowhunters' Digest 6th Edition, Bowhunting Modern Elk and The Bowhunter's Guide to Better Shooting.
