Reanna Frauens

“I grew up hunting with my father and practiced for bird hunting by shooting clays. After becoming members at Quail Creek Plantation (now known as Quail Creek Sporting Ranch), we came across their youth shooting team, “Young Guns.” I joined my freshman year of high school and started my shooting journey by competing heavily within the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) on a local, regional and national level. I branched out into the National Sporting Clay Association (NSCA) soon after and began competing extensively within the NSCA Championship Tour. Throughout the past few years, I’ve been blessed with many notable sponsors that support my shooting career and have provided many opportunities that have helped me grow as both a competitor and person.”

What’s your advice on getting new shooters involved?

“Don’t be intimidated nor discouraged! Everyone starts somewhere and learns at different paces. Learn to have fun with the sport before taking it too seriously. When you’re ready to take that next step, be sure to find a coach whom you connect with personally and teaches a shooting style that is comprehensive to your abilities. If you are a youth shooter, get involved with the SCTP by joining a team at your local club. Here, you will learn firearm safety, shooting fundaments, and teamwork in a safe and encouraging environment. The SCTP is the feeding tunnel to USA Shooting and is a great push start for many other National Shooting Organizations.”

Turner Parcell

Turner began competitive shooting when he was 13 years old by joining his youth shooting team at the local gun club in Swansea, South Carolina. The youth programs of South Carolina provided a foundation for him to learn the different disciplines of skeet, trap, and sporting clays. During his first year of shooting, he started to branch out into NSCA registered shoots participating in local circuit shoots, then his first regional, and before he knew it, he was attending Nationals in San Antonio, Texas as a Sub-Junior in 2018. Now as a Junior, he practices at his home club at Rocky Creek Sporting Clays in Richburg, SC.

As Turner began his shooting career in youth programs, he supports other youth getting involved in the sport, and even coaches in his spare time.  He encourages others to experience this sport of discipline, integrity, accountability, and friendships. He loves the excitement of hitting the orange clay, and hopes others do so as well!

Turner has been shooting Rhino Chokes for a year and half. The difference in shot pattern, and power of hitting the target is second to none. Turner’s motto is to “Send It!”, and Rhino Chokes certainly help him do just that.
