Hook & Barrel Magazine®, the lifestyle magazine for modern outdoorsmen, is excited to be the exclusive sponsor of the Top 2A Writers category at the 2025 Gundies Awards. The Gundies Awards, now in its sixth year, honor outstanding creators, influencers, and brands making a significant impact in the firearms and outdoor communities. The awards show is set to take place during SHOT Show 2025 at The Venetian Theater in The Venetian Hotel, Las Vegas on January 20, 2025.
“Though I was honored to personally have been nominated, I felt compelled to pass on the opportunity to our writers (who, too, were nominated); without their work we could not put out the great content we do,” said John J. Radzwilla, Editor-in-Chief and Co-Founder at Hook & Barrel Magazine. “In that spirit, we have chosen to sponsor the Best 2A Writer category and to ensure great writers get the spotlight they deserve. This is a new category for The Gundies, and Hook & Barrel wants to see it flourish.”
Seven of the 38 nominees in this category have written for Hook & Barrel Magazine—Brian McCombie (Hook & Barrel’s official Firearms Editor), Kevin Reese, Frank Melloni, Sean Utley, Barb Melloni, Fred Mastison and Karen Hunter—which made Hook & Barrel’s sponsorship of this category a perfect fit.
Voting is open for the 19 categories here, and those who would like to attend the awards show can purchase tickets here.
