He became integrally involved in Long Range Shooters of Alaska group in 2020 seeking to grow the precision rifle sports and bring the joy of long-range competitive shooting to Alaskans.

She competes at a national level in PRS22, is an owner and LFI for Accurate Advantage, a multi-platform shooting school based in Anchorage Alaska, and works as a Territory Manager for Leupold Optics.

Jack Nichols - Secretary
Jack Nichols lives in Nikiski with his amazing wife, Megan, and has been working as a machinist for the last five years. He has been shooting most of his life and jumped in with both feet when he found PRS in 2023.

Teaching others how to better use these fancy rock throwers so we can hit things far away is one of the great joys to be found in life.
