![]() ![]() My favorite part about being part of the team is seeing how much I can improve. I have participated in six different competitions, each one multiple times. I was recruited for the base shooting team after the match. I was part of the range as a block non-commissioned officer, and shot in the intramural competition. I did not start shooting competitively until November of 2013. Every time you compete, it is a different set of obstacles you have to tackle to take a good shot. Different ranges have different conditions you have to compensate for. I feel like I’m testing myself every single time I go to the range. Can you get past those obstacles? People who play sports are always trying to be faster or stronger, shooters are always trying to be more accurate. I have never shot a perfect 250 on the annual rifle qualification. I enjoy shooting because I like challenging myself. He started teaching me when I was five and we would shoot cans off the back porch. My dad was in the Marine Corps in the '80s and was passionate about it. I grew up shooting and always enjoyed it.
