DICK METCALF: P. Richard “Dick” Metcalf (1946-2023) spent the majority of his adult life participating in and profoundly influencing the shooting and hunting industry. For over 40 years, his features and columns were cornerstones of publications such as Guns & Ammo, Handguns, Petersen’s Hunting and of course Shooting Times. Dick also hosted several cable television shows associated with these publications.

Upon graduation from Northwestern University, Dick was drafted into the United States Army where he attained the rank of E6/Ranger Airborne. At the conclusion of his service, he entered Yale University and earned a PHD in History. Dick taught history at both Yale and Cornell, then decided to pursue a career as a gun writer. This decision impacted millions, for Dick became the generational pioneer of long-range handgunning and handgun hunting while making vital contributions to the designs of both handguns and modern sporting rifles. He authored more exclusive gun reviews than any other writer and always did things his way—exercising a bone-dry sense of humor, keeping an eye cocked toward history and following his unique and unwavering sense of purpose.
