Abigail Helsdon has been hunting from a young age, reading outdoor magazines and taking in all she can about the outdoors. Now a writer herself, she wants to share what she has learned and her experiences with other hunters and anglers.

She also loves shooting clay targets with 5-Stand being her favorite.
