Olympic Hopeful Nic Moschetti at ALLEN Booth, SHOT Show

Olympic Hopeful Nic Moschetti at ALLEN Booth for 2019 SHOT Show

Broomfield, CO.: The 2020 Summer Olympic Games are coming up in Tokyo, Japan, and with this great global event come the lifelong hopes and dreams of amateur American Shooters. Nic Moschetti is one of those upcoming shooters with large aspirations of making the Olympic Games as an International Skeet Shooter.

Nic is like many of the young outdoorsman/ outdoorswomen walking around in the field today. He started young as a shooter when his dad introduced him to a Red Ryder BB gun. From there, he advanced to getting his hunters safety card at age 7. Soon after that, at age 12, his father took him trap shooting where he competed through his local 4H trap club at local events. Something was sparked and obviously Nic did pretty well on the podium at that point and has never looked back. He still hunts and fishes in his spare time now, but his sights are focused on a different kind of future podium-the Olympic podium in Japan.

Here are some of his recent international and national accomplishments:

·2018: Silver Medalist at ISSF World Championships, Changwon S. Korea (Junior Men’s Skeet)

·2018: Silver Medal at USA Shooting National Championships

·2018: Silver Medal at Grand Prix, Porpetto, Italy

It isn’t so much about whether you take home a gold or not; Nic embodies the Olympic Dream and is the perfect ambassadeur for the USA Olympic Athlete,” proudly commented Lee Betty; Director of Marketing and Brand Management.
