“I love to compete and have a deep desire to be the best I can be. I began playing tennis at three years old and added volleyball and gymnastics by age ten. My brother started shooting clay targets with the SCTP team at Quail Creek Plantation in Okeechobee, Florida, and my competitive nature drew me to this sport, which requires a high level of self-discipline. Soon, I was hooked on breaking clays. My seven years in the SCTP program brought me many hard-fought successes. The work ethic and self-motivation required were the catalysts for my desire to succeed. I started shooting NSCA events and earned a spot in Master Class at age 14. This sport truly rewards your efforts; I have recently completed the NSCA Level 1 Instructors Course, and I aspire to give back as a mentor and coach. My goal is to reach my full potential and earn a spot on the USA Sporting Clays Team. I am excited to excel and push myself to the highest levels this sport has to offer. I look forward to traveling around the nation, making new friends, aligning myself with companies and products I believe in, and seeing just how far I can go.” Expressed Kiersten. Kiersten has selected Fiocchi’s Competition Line- White Rinos and Little Rinos as her competition shell.
