What is your favourite thing about being a Goal Shooter?

My favourite thing about being a shooter is being able to challenge my ability to fail, knowing the reward is soo much greater.

Being nervous is a great thing, it's on the edge of greatness. It's okay to be nervous, as it shows that you care about what you're doing and it's exciting!

No, it took a lot of hard work and dedication to get to where I am.


What do you think about when you’re shooting?

My favorite thing to think about when shooting is what to eat. I try not to overthink the process.
