Athlon Outdoors Adds Full-Time Digital Editor

Nashville, TN —  With a continued focus on growing its digital presence across shooting lifestyle content, Athlon Outdoors has made another investment in its digital editorial team.

 

Athlon Outdoors is happy to announce the full-time hire of Paul Rackley.

 

Paul is a skilled editor in the firearms publishing world with many years of experience. Paul fired a gun for the first time when he was just 5 years old. From that day, he has been fascinated with the world of shooting sports. So, after graduating from Ole Miss, he went to work for the National Wild Turkey Federation before heading to the National Rifle Association. Most recently, Paul worked at Game & Fish Publications, which brought him to more than 15 years in the firearms industry.

 

Paul is also an NRA-certified instructor for handguns and personal protection and spends as much time as possible training.

 

With the complex and rapidly changing climate of the firearm culture fueled by the inaccurate statements and reports in the media about firearm laws and statistics, it becomes increasingly more important that people can educate themselves on how they can protect themselves, their families and their Second Amendment rights. Paul will assist Athlon Outdoors in providing the most current and useful personal protection information to its digital readers.

 

"Paul brings a tremendous amount of experience—both with firearms and digital media—to our already knowledgeable team. It was a no-brainer to add him to our digital staff after our initial conversations,” said Matt Hogan, Athlon Outdoors’ Director of Digital Content. “He'll join us to help continue grow our incredibly successful digital properties, mainly PersonalDefenseWorld.com."
