Erik Lund

I grew up shooting and hunting at a very young age and developed a passion for both. In 1994, I started my journey as both a firearms instructor and as a competitive shooter. I graduated from the Virginia State Police academy and was assigned to Fairfax County, Virginia. I worked over eight years as a VSP Trooper and during my time earned multiple firearms and defensive tactics instructor ratings. In 2002, I accepted a position with a Federal Law Enforcement agency and spent the next twenty-one years in Law Enforcement fulfilling many roles within the agency.

My competitive shooting career also began in 1994. I discovered a passion for competition and worked hard to eventually earn a Grandmaster ranking in practical shooting by the United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) and in 3-Gun (Pistol, Shotgun, and Rifle) style competitions. In my career I had the honor or being asked to join the Sig-Sauer and later the FN America pro shooting teams. I currently enjoy competing in long-range precision rifle style matches.

My passion for the shooting and hunting sports has led me to consult and design several products in the industry, including one of the most effective and popular rifle compensators on the market today. I am currently prototyping several knife designs for fighting and hunting applications.

I have authored many articles of various topics and have been published in both RECOIL and OFF GRID magazines and several other smaller publications and can be found in several online videos and podcasts.

When I am not shooting, hunting, or instructing, I enjoy time with my family and my Belgian Malinois “Slash”.
