Congratulations to our latest scholarship recipient, Kim Pastore. August 7, 2026
What Kim had to say about her experience:

I had shot occasionally with Jorge but mostly to familiarize myself with the firearms in our home. After he was killed I was invited to attend a training. I spent 2 days learning how to shoot from fundamentals to movement. I was in way over my head but the care and attention the instructor gave me made the experience incredible. I quickly realized that while I was shooting my mind was free of grief and sadness. I had to focus on what I was doing. Safety was of utmost importance and I was learning a lot in a short amount of time. I woke up the next day craving that feeling of focus and clarity. I started to shoot more and connected with Randy Wallen who has become a dear friend. He took me shooting and got me ready for my first Tactical Games Skirmish. He shared everything he learned from Gunsite and frequently referred to the teachings of Jeff Cooper. He made me aware of the scholarship and said that a week at Gunsite would be lifechanging. …
