11 Questions with 10-year-old Competitive Shooter Shyanne Roberts

Ten-year-old 3-gun competitor Shyanne Roberts hails from New Jersey and may just be one of the youngest Second Amendment activists in the shooting community. Throughout the past few years, she’s made appearances pro-Second Amendment outlets such as on Gun For Hire Radio, the NRA’s Cam & Co, and NRA News. She’s also gained attention in national mainstream media, in which she has been shown as a positive example of shooting sports and youth in America, including Fox News, Chasing New Jersey, CNN, ABC Nightline, and Fox & Friends. I recently had the chance to meet this energetic, intelligent, and thoughtful Second Amendment activist at the Brownells Lady 3-Gun Pro-Am competition in Georgia. Here’s what Shyanne had to say about why she loves competitive shooting, and her thoughts on the future.

The 1st Quarter is going to be amazing!

Check in on the year in review and set your expectations for 2015.

Shyanne Robterts Portfotlio January 2015

Two thousand and fourteen’s shooting season arrived with Shy’s entry into the realm of three gun competitive shooting, progressed with expanding her political activism, culminated with the Brownells Lady 3 Gun Pro-Am Challenge, and is closing with a considerable gain in media attention. The expectation was never for her to secure a win; Shyanne’s goal was to gain experience with the rigors of the competition, explore the complexity of the stages, and build comfort with her equipment. The year was a resounding success!

The Brownell’s Lady 3-gun solidified her position in the shooting community; a family of energetic and inspiring individuals. When your competition is your greatest resource leveraged for your future the character and quality of the people shines. Competitors mentor new comers as a general practice; a tradition that exists in spite of the fact that the reigning champion’s ability to maintain their winning payday means they have to win. Everyone is about the future, while still driving hard to win the day. As the upcoming generation builds upon the current techniques, exceeds the existing expectations, and sets new records the world champions of today pass the baton; assuring our individual rights and liberties will be preserved.

Thanks to Shyanne’s sponsors, supporters, and fans the opportunities this season have been nothing short of amazing. She is exceptionally grateful to those who took their personal and professional time to mentor her, Madalyn Stewart, and Allie “Allie-Cat” Barrett … The Pro Line-up: Lena Miculek, TacTissy, Heidi Kempin, Katelyn Francis, Nikki Turpeaux, Becky Yackley.3Gun, Steph Payne Shooting, Rhonda “Stones” Stonaker, Karla Herdzik, Julie Waasted – Competitive Shooter, Dani Bryan, Annette Evans, Jessie Duff, Janna Reeves, Reanna Kadic, Heather Fitzhugh, and Dianna Liedorf. The ladies of “Squad 12.” Thanks so much Steve Thomas USPSA Area 8 Director and World Champion Todd Jarrett and his partner Carrie Carlson for an amazing opportunity to join the summer junior training camp at Lower Providence Rod and Gun Club.

Wow! – Thank you so much to Geissele Automatics for the surprise of the season, a crazy purple AR-15 extended as a reward for Shy’s tenacity and persistence at the ProAm.

Without her camera crew, Eric Saperstein, Sandra Muldoon, Lawrence R. Greenberg, and Dan Roberts would be no viral videos, cover shots, and media frenzies. These people support her career with their time, skills, and equipment. They provide fans the window into Shy’s activities, her sponsors with maximum exposure, and offer positive public relations for the shooting sports. Thank you!

Thank you to the media, YES the media! Not only did this season give Shyanne the cover of Junior Shooters, appearances on Gun For Hire Radio, Cam & Co, NRA News, and worldwide social media exposure, and a dozen or so newspaper articles, the national mainstream media actually presented her as a positive example of youth shooting in America. Fox News, Chasing New Jersey, CNN, ABC Nightline, and Fox & Friends all cast a spotlight and turned our Tom Boy Diva into the poster child for the pink gun generation.

Sophia Newport – Welcome to the Gun For Hire, LLC team!

VIDEO – Nightline Episode Full Video Link Below. Please help us share some positive press for the youth shooters of America!

PRESS RELEASE: Shyanne Roberts has been working on a project with ABC Nightline News, a feature discussing youth and firearms in America. Shyanne (Shy), for those who are just catching up on her adventures, is a member of the up and coming generation of competitive shooters and an activist for personal liberty. She hammered the springboard into the national political spotlight with her testimony before the NJ Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee against their ill-conceived and arbitrary 10 round magazine limit.

For the past month ABC engaged Shy in discussions about her experiences in politics, observed her on the firing line including her recent trip to the Historic Brownells Lady 3-Gun Pro-Am Challenge, and dove into her life as a kid today.

Shyanne represented America’s youth in an episode scheduled to air tonight at 12:35am (12/3/2014) on your local ABC network station. We just got notice a few minutes ago! We’ll have links posted to the full episode online as soon as they are available. Clips will also be included in Shyanne’s 2014 highlights reel, pending release as a Christmas bonus to her fans and sponsors.

Of course we’ll promote discussion, and we hope this Nightline feature will show a positive perspective of the future of America’s liberty.

Shyanne Roberts & Tom Boy Diva Management

Alright (Eric Posting) … Monday’s events were tragic and we extend a heart felt and sincere sympathy for the families involved. First and foremost a life was lost and with respect we want to clarify that Shyanne was NOT involved in this incident.

For those unaware a 9 year old New Jersey resident girl, under the direction of her parents and an instructor was in operation of a fully automatic Uzi. Events transpired that lead to the accidental (negligent) fatal shooting of her instructor.

We feel that situations like this are truly shameful, and through proper safety procedures are avoidable. Shyanne’s father Dan weighs in with his daughter about this controversial subject in the article below.

I personally as an instructor who has taught dozens of children to shoot and countless adults, am taken back by the situation. I would never allow the operation of a fully automatic firearm by ANYONE child or adult, without the proper training and experience.

My experience is primarily with semi automatic and standard manual action firearms. I always start with ONE round in the gun, and I can’t emphasize enough the importance of ensuring that an individual of any age demonstrates control and responsibility with each firearm, each caliber, each situation, as they progress in training. Follow the ONE round rule as you introduce new shooters. An empty firearm dropped can not harm anyone, starting with a single round ensures the safety of everyone involved. Work your way up, this is not about shock and awe, this is about safety and responsibility.

Additional – touch is OK – I stay on top of someone and position them, the firearm, and police the situation. Let me make it simple, if you are not comfortable with me touching you and/or your child to ensure their safety then I am not comfortable with any of you touching my guns. The situation is professional and shall remain entirely as such, an instructor is responsible for the entire situation and for every round that leaves the barrel. This trumps anyone’s feelings about how one should not touch someone to provide needed support and direction.

Changing subjects a bit … I have been up close to Shy when she is shooting. I am right there, getting personal to get the drama and capture the moments. I want to say we produce these photos and videos with very careful practice. We have RSO’s spotting the shooter and the camera operators. We have practiced this dry fire before we go live fire. We are all following the 180 rules, and I most certainly get scolded by the RSO assigned to spot me and ensure I don’t get optics blinders and wander into the line of fire. When you see a shot from the front of a live shooter, the camera is on a tripod or positioned away from people and operated by remote control. While we may risk our equipment, we will never risk our lives for an image.

Again, take a moment of reflection for those who were hurt this week. Let us all qualify our reactions with maturity and take every logical and responsible action to prevent this from ever happening again. We are the ones who hold dear our liberty, and the right to protect it. We must adhere to the responsibility this right bears on us to behave in a manner respectful of the power we hold in our hands when we grip a firearm.

Eric

The August 2014 PA Steel Challenge match was held today by our hosts at Guthsville Rod & Gun Club, Inc. As is our habit, we took the opportunity to feature our own Shyanne Roberts with a highlights reel from today’s event. – Scores are pending, we hope to have them in next week.

Mean——-nnnn-while … enjoy the video, or don’t … we don’t care we made it for the lovers not the haters. Speaking of which, stick around for the followup bloopers reel, as Shy’s own Social Media Director, Eric, shot today too! Although the results are not in, word is he told his bookie to place HIS bet on Shyanne. Once he finds out how bad he was beat, maybe he’ll release the evidence.

Special thanks to David Snyder and his crew who dedicated their time and effort to organize, setup, run, and brake down the event. This is a lot of work and they deserve our appreciation as shooters for their efforts.

As always please visit our sponsor’s pages and show your thanks for their support of youth shooting events. These kids are the future of our nation, and the insurance policy that our rights will be everlasting.
