How I got started shooting
I've been a casual shooter since 1980. I learned about conventional pistol in February 1998 and shot my first .22 match in March 1998. I found the AF Pistol Team website while researching bullseye, and made contact with the team. They invited me to Interservice in 1998, where I got picked up for the national team. I caught the international bug by winning the informal air pistol match at the International Combat Arms Competition at Camp Robinson AR in 2002, and did "double duty" on both teams until taking over the International team in 2003.
