SSG Nickolaus Mowrer
10m Air Pistol
SSG Nickolaus Mowrer was twelve when he attended his first NRA high power rifle match. Hired to sit in the target pits and operate targets for the shooters, he soon borrowed a rifle and ammo for his own turn. “Once I fired my first shot, it was all over,” he says. He began as a junior shooter, worked his way through the sport in a college environment, bringing Montana Tech University its first National Championship. Afterwards, he accepted a scholarship from The Ohio State University, then earned residency at the Olympic Training Center, where he has trained for four years. Mowrer is a four-time national champion and seven-time national record holder, and he made his first Olympic team in 2012.
