Compete
3-gun, USPSA, multigun — fast stages, hard targets, no excuses. We show up prepared and we run every stage like it's the last one of the match.
Veteran-powered · 501(c)(3) nonprofit · competitive shooting team
Built on Service. Run on Adrenaline.
HOBO Shooters is a veteran-supporting 501(c)(3) competitive 3-gun and action-shooting team. We compete hard, represent our sponsors with pride, and give back to those who served.
Proudly powered by
The mission
Compete. Serve. Represent.
A team built by people who understand what it means to answer the call — now answering a different one: the buzzer.
Serve
We're a 501(c)(3) built around veterans: a team to run with, a community that shows up, and a reason to keep pushing forward long after the uniform comes off.
Represent
Every match, our sponsors ride on the jersey. We represent them the way they back us — all in, every stage, every season.
The connection
The uniform comes off. The bond doesn't.
This team exists because of what service builds between people. Match days, range days, a cigar after the last stage — it's veterans having fun together and keeping the connection that was forged in service.
- Show up. Run the stage. Pick each other up.
- Compete like it matters — because the people next to you do.
- Leave the range better than you found it, and bring the next veteran with you.
Board of directors
