My name is Hannah Harens and I am a 21-year-old shotgun shooter from Connecticut. I was first introduced to shooting in 2012 and spent most of my career with SCTP and branched into ATA, NSSA, and international skeet. I now shoot for MIT’s clay target team, with which I shoot all the clay disciplines. A few years ago I started an Instagram page (@hharens) where I share my experiences and tips I have learned throughout my shooting career. I hope to reduce the stigma surrounding guns, show others what an awesome sport we participate in, and connect with other members of the shooting community. One of the best things about shooting is that anyone can participate, and I love seeing new people get started and feel empowered through the sport, especially ladies. I would like to give special thanks to my coaches, family, and Cole Gunsmithing for their support as I navigate my shooting career! I look forward to what the future holds. n
