Firearms mistakes can instantly pull readers out of a story. In this session, Jeff Shaw gives writers a clear, practical foundation in firearms, covering shotguns, rifles, and handguns. The focus is on accuracy and realism, helping authors write action scenes and character moments that feel credible and confident on the page.
