Sports More: Impressive Students Smith & Wesson Shooting Competition
Meet The 17-Year-Old Girl Who Is Dominating Sport Shooting
Molly Smith, teen shooter, Smith & Wesson
Smith keeps her ammunition in a box with her name on it.
While most of her peers were scoring goals or shooting hoops, Molly Smith could be found shooting targets with her favorite .38 revolver.
Smith just graduated from Mission College Preparatory Catholic High School in San Luis Obispo, California, and made our list of the Most Impressive Kids Graduating From High School This Year for her incredible skills as a sharpshooter.
Now 17, the California teen has been training for marksmanship competitions since age 11, and says most people don’t believe her when she tells them about her sport of choice.
Maybe it’s because she doesn’t fit the marksman stereotype: She’s 4’10” with curly blonde hair and dimples. And she’s female.
As the junior team captain for Smith & Wesson, a company that manufactures weapons, she has traveled the world and taken home multiple shooting titles in competitions against both other women and men.
