Preston Hughes

Preston Hughes began to take shooting and training seriously after a near- deadly force encounter in 2016 where having his handgun saved his and another person’s life. Since then, Preston has jumped headfirst into the training and competition shooting world. He is passionate about bridging the gap between competitive and defensive firearms training with the goal of improving the skill of the average gun owner and concealed carrier. Preston was formerly employed as an Emergency Room and Trauma RN at a Level 1 Trauma center before enrolling in a Large North Texas Police Academy, with the goal of joining the Tac-Med team. After earning Top-Shot during the Academy, Preston was severely injured during a less-lethal training exercise which resulted in having reconstructive surgery on both of his shoulders. This injury lead to his termination from the Police Academy, but gave him the freedom to explore other employment opportunities, eventually leading him to Pew Pew Tactical as a content creator.
