My name is Russ Chastain. I’m a freelance writer, editor, and photographer who loves hunting, shooting, guitars, and old tractors — especially those Economy/Power King/Country Squire/Jim Dandy/Power Queen/Red E/Farm King machines collectively known as EPCO (Engineering Products Co) tractors.
I’ve been hunting, shooting, and writing for more than 40 years, and I have a passion for accuracy with both language and firearms.
I was the sole editor and writer for the About.com Hunting and Shooting site 1998-2016. I began writing for AllOutdoor.com in 2014 and worked as editor there 2016-2021. I’ve also written for OutdoorHub.com over the years. I’ve also written for Source Outdoor and have worked as a Technical Editor as well.
