My name is Allison Hayes. I’m a 17-year-old shooter from Texas, specializing in Skeet and Sporting Clays. After career-ending injuries with soccer, I joined my high school team, Allen Eagles Competitive Shooting Team, my sophomore year. I enjoy meeting new people at events and inviting SCTP shooters into the NSCA world. Being able to help push new shooters to their next level is so gratifying, and because of this, I plan on getting my NSCA coaching license. I currently am working with Ultimate Shooting Accessories, Briley Manufacturing, StockLock/Dawson Enterprises, and Kick-EEZ, and I am beyond grateful for the amount of support and kindness they have shown me. I want to thank Jason Anderson, Ron and Jane Williams, Tim Cudia, and Fred Ferraro for the immense amount of guidance and generosity they have provided consistently. n
