Who We Are
SHOTGUN PATTERN PRO is the Internet's best online reference source for information, articles, and news of interest to Shotgun shooters and supporters of the 2nd Amendment. We built the innovative online information and news website specifically for men, women, and youth of all ages and abilities. We believe there is a common bond between people that support the 2nd Amendment and we are
committed to engaging with those individuals that seek new information, and sharing with them online. This platform is more than just news and information; it is the manner in which we convey relevant information and technical content to our readers, in a concise and understandable way. Our mission has and always will be to provide our customers with the latest News, Information, Articles and Technical data. Founder and managing editor Buck Engen has been an avid shooter, fisherman, outdoorsman and Second Amendment supporter for many years. He continues his research to increase scientific knowledge and to solve problems, develop new processes, products and techniques of and for the Shotgun, Choke, Ballistics: interior-within the shotgun; exterior-after the projectile (or projectiles) leaves the shotgun barrel; terminal-impact on a target, Ammunition and Accessories. In his College days he left teaching and elected the sciences and research. Interestingly enough, he is teaching now, or rather sharing news and information. As he always professes: The fever for sharing can be highly susceptible to individuals that thirst for knowledge. His shooting, research, teaching and sharing experiences led him to create Shotgun Pattern Pro, which he founded in 2013. Everyone on our staff supports the 2nd Amendment and most are experienced shooters and outdoor persons. We are proud of our success and grateful to our many readers and members. Most of this success is because we all live and breathe Patriotism, Shotguns and Shooting. Shotgun Pattern Pro is dedicated to you, the shooting sports and the United States Second Amendment.
