Grace is the youngest member of Team Applied Ballistics. She began shooting IDPA and USPSA at the age of 10 in 2017 using a .22LR and shooting for experience but not for score. She now competes in both with a full size 9mm as well as shooting Steel Challenge. While being the newest to the sport, she seems to draw the most interest from our fans. There seems to be something intriguing about a tiny young woman outshooting many of her adult counterparts! In addition to shooting sports, young Gracie is an accomplished actress and vocalist with many stage performances under her belt.
