Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?

Hello! My name is Brady Kirkpatrick, and I’m the Founder of Gun Made. Gun Made started as a blog about guns, ammo, accessories, guides, and more.

What started as a COVID side project has evolved into a media business capturing about 1.5 - 2 million readers per year. It generates about $15k per month in recurring revenue, mostly from affiliate marketing. In 2022, we will help retailers generate over $2.5M in sales. The crazy thing is, we’re just getting started.

There are so many different verticals in media that we have yet to capitalize on, such as advertisements, sponsored posts, brand promotions, and more. Gun Made is less than a few years away from becoming a seven-figure business.

Our next big project is creating an E-commerce platform that integrates pricing from hundreds of retailers to help consumers shop for the lowest-priced firearms.
