Competitive shooter Dwight Stearns started shooting competitively in 1980 as a young police officer in Earlham, Iowa and immediately found a love for steel shooting. Since 2010, he has had multiple top 5 finishes in Rimfire Challenge matches, highlighted with a World Championship in 2013. But Stearns said he is even more proud of the young shooters he has coached in this sport. Among those youth shooters he has trained is a three-time ladies champion, a 15-year-old runner up and, this year, three junior shooters that finished in the top 10 overall, two youth champions- including his granddaughter Riley Joy- and a junior runner-up. That, Stearns said, is his true success.
