About Shane Jahn

Shane Jahn is a native Texan, lifelong outdoorsman, hunter and shooter. He began his outdoor writing career shortly after returning from his first African safari. He has had articles published by NRA Family, Gun Digest Magazine, Guns of The Old West, The Mag Life, Safariland’s Cadre Dispatch, Texas Outdoors Journal, The Hunting Wire and Guns Magazine. He is co-owner of Gun Tales. Each year he covers the New Revolvers & Others section of the famed Gun Digest Annual. Shane enjoys the challenge of handgun hunting and has been fortunate to return to Africa three times to successfully hunt cape buffalo with a revolver. His long gun interests lean towards iconic lever-action rifles, traditional bolt-actions, and Ruger No.1s with highly figured wood stocks. He retired from an exciting 22-year career with the U.S. Border Patrol and resides in the Big Bend Region of west Texas.
