Max Klesmit discovered in middle school how to become a great shooter (interview)

Max has been using the Gun for 10 years now. Max discovered the Gun in middle school when he went to his high school basketball camps. He noticed that if he used the Gun enough, it could take him somewhere someday. He credits The Gun for allowing him to improve his shooting ability by getting lots of game-like reps in a short amount of time. Max also claims The Gun has helped him become more consistent. The shot counter, along with the percentage displayed improves his focus in workouts by holding him accountable. This also allows him to see where he needs improvement and extra reps on the floor. Max also loves to practice floaters on the Gun, because the net acts as a big defender. Shoot-A-Way is proud to partner with Max. Follow Max’s journey as he continues to grow as a shooter and overall player at Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC.
