Hello! My name is Victoria Powell. I’m a certified Level II Instructor through the NSCA. My shooting career began at a young age on my family farm in Metter, Ga. It all started when my father put a little Cricket 22 in my hands. Its safe to say that I was hooked from the moment I pulled the trigger. Growing up, most of my shooting was done in the hunting world, quail, ducks, pheasant, and deer. My junior and senior year of high school, I shot on the Bulloch County Shotgun Team with 4H. Around that same time, my father and I became members of the NSCA and we started attending competitions. I’ve been competing ever since.

In June of 2018 I graduated from Georgia College and State University with a majoring in Accounting. Now I work as a financial consultant. Although my primary job is in financial management, my passion lies in teaching men, women, and children how to shoot. I’ve been an instructor since 2017 and have experience with private lessons, group lessons, clinics, and demo days. Along with lessons, Im also a fun fitter and love to help my students find their perfect match. I am blessed to be a part of this industry as a shooter and a ProStaff, and I hope that I can help many more women fall in love with this sport as much as I have.

Primary Disciplines:

Sporting Clays, including Super Sporting. Sub-Gauge events are my favorite disciplines with FITASC a close second!

What’s your advice on getting new lady shooters involved?

My advice is to jump in feet first! Take time to find a gun that fits and gear that makes you feel confident. The best way to success is practice. The main objective is to have a great time and make lasting friends!

What knowledge can you share that would make ladies better shooters?

Gun fit is essential. The best thing you can do is find a gun that fits you then practice, practice, practice. Never be afraid to ask for help, don’t get discouraged when you have an off-day, and make sure to always have fun!
