Becoming A Collegiate Competition Shooter: Emily Miller
In this three-part series, we explore the journey of three young women, from their humble beginnings in the early part of their shooting careers, to getting serious on the competition circuit and getting scouted, to picking the best school to fit their desired goals. These young women balance a heavy college curriculum with a rigorous team schedule and make the most of their time as collegiate athletes. Whether you are looking to follow a similar path and compete in college, or just curious to learn more about this world, follow along as we delve into the stories of these Syren athletes and their unique journeys.
First up in our series is one of Syren’s newest ambassadors, Emily Miller. Emily is currently a student at Fort Hays State University. Her main discipline is sporting clays, and when she’s not balancing her schoolwork while earning her degree, she enjoys going to as many NSCA (National Sporting Clays Association) tournaments as she can. Emily has earned a number of accolades since beginning to shoot competitively in 2018, including winning numerous Lady Championships in Sporting Clays, FITASC, American Field Sporting, 5 Stand and earning a spot on the All-American Junior 1st Team in 2022. On the collegiate level, Emily is just as fierce, taking HOA (High Overall) and Lady Championships at several competitions across the country during her first three seasons.
How to Choose Eye Protection for Shooting
I’ve made the comment, “If you can’t see it, you can’t shoot it,” no less than a million times. The shooting sports revolve around your ability to SEE a target and put the sight picture together correctly. Now, there was an astonishing young lady that was legally blind and shooting for a high school team. She and the coach worked together on having her zero in on a sound played from behind the target to assist her in aiming. It worked! This scenario is on the other end of the spectrum though and brought to your attention to showcase just how incredible we are as a species.
