YOUTH MARKSMANSHIP

 

Mowrer

Nick Mowrer, of Ramsay, Montana represented the United States at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games.  Nick got his start in competitive high power shooting at ranges in Montana.  He then perused pistol competitions and ended up as a resident athlete at the US Olympic Training Center, In Colorado Springs, Co.  Mowrer's recent Olympic performance was one of the best in a few decades by an American in Olympic Free Pistol Competition.  The 2012 Summer Olympics are just a part of this young man's many accomplishments  and one of many more to come.   Mowrer's success is partially owed to opportunity - the opportunity to compete with firearms in the State of Montana.  Consider supporting competitive shooting in Montana by membership in the MRPA, helping out at matches, or encouraging youth marksmanship.

Mowrer, then a newer shooter, is seen here receiving coaching from Eric Buljung, National Champion in 2006.  Buljung is EBNM medium
helping Mowrer with a free pistol. Six years later, Mowrer became the highest placing US free pistol shooter in a few decades.  Adult mentoring is a key to continuing the proper, safe use of firearms by the next generation.  Competitive shooting instills responsibility and discipline in the young athlete.  Help protect our Second Amendment by educating and fostering youth marksmanship  Take a youth shooting today and you never know where it will take him tomorrow.
