Rachel began shooting when she was about 6 years old, and has enjoyed it ever since. Rachel has always have been a competitive person, which led to her experimenting with a few indoor USPSA matches held at a local range during the winter. She did about 4 of these throughout the winters of 2016 and 2017 has never heard of 3-gun until they went into our local gun shop to purchase a shotgun, when they told us that it would compete the trio needed to begin multigun— a shotgun, rifle, and pistol. Intrigued, they did some research and found a local match. Rachel then competed in my first match on April 14th, 2018. From there, her addiction began. 

Currently, Rachel has been shooting 3-gun for 4 years. Although 3-gun did have her missing many days of school, Rachel maintained above a 4.0 GPA all throughout high school as well as participating in a Mock Trial program, where they won the regional competition her senior year. 

As Rachel is about to graduate high school, she plans to study online through a local community college to receive her associates degree of a liberal arts of science, and then go on to get her bachelors elsewhere with a major in mathematics and a minor in business— as well as continue shooting and giving back to a community that has given so much to her, and played such a large role in who she is today.

My name is Courtney Gray, I began competing in shooting sports since 2016. My competitive shooting career started in IDPA and USPSA production division. In 2018 I was introduced to 3 Gun and found my game! Today, I compete in 3 Gun both locally here Colorado, as well as at major matches around the country and I can quad load a shotgun faster than John Wick! I primarily compete in tac ops division but have begun testing the waters in stealth and UML ladies’ rules (which now include PCC). I still compete in USPSA on occasion in both carry optics and PCC divisions, this is primarily to keep my skills sharp in the off season.

One of my passions is empowering women, both on the range and off. As an NRA Certified Pistol Instructor, I’m fortunate to be able to teach solid pistol skills and concealed carry techniques and have been invited to teach several intro to 3 Gun classes. The highlight of one of these courses was The Women of Troy, Women’s 3 Gun Academy, teaching a 3-day intensive that culminated in their first match! They did great!

As a self-confessed gear head, I always love chatting about guns and gear and regularly hand my equipment to folks to try out. I am incredibly grateful for the support of my wife, Rachel, who comes to many of my matches to film me for social media. Look for me on the range and feel free to come say hello!
