“The amount of stuff I have on me when I do that is so funny,” laughs Hicks. Her favorite discipline is three-gun, despite the extra 30 pounds of guns and gear weighing on her 110-pound frame during matches.
She regularly shoots USPSA, frequents Prado Running Gun matches, and is starting to dabble in precision rifle shooting. Since that first match last summer, she’s attended over 45. She didn’t do great at that match, but she fell in love. She bought her own Glock from Taran - fully customized for her, as a lefty - and a few months later, she signed up for her first local IDPA match in SoCal. Hicks went back for another day of shooting and then another.
