President

I'm Jack Smith, I spent 10 years in the United States Marine Corps. During that time I had the pleasure of filling rolls such as an infantry team leader, squad leader, platoon sergeant  during 5 deployments. I finished my time with the Marines as a Combat Instructor at the School of Infantry. I have been involved in law enforcement since I got out in 2016. I shot my first 3gun match in 2009 and have been hooked ever since traveling and shooting as much as I can. 3gun is not a hobby for me, it’s a habit.

Treasurer

I'm Brian Church and I'm the treasurer for Battlebuddy3gun. I joined the Marine Corps when I was 18 as a helicopter mechanic and was able to train to be a door gunner. After a couple deployments I got out and went back to civilian life and eventually became a police officer. I was approached by Jeff with this amazing idea of Battlebuddy3gun. Conversations were had, contacts were made, and planning began. Eventually the ideas became a reality and a group of Marines is bringing the sport of 3 gun to the disabled community!

Social Media Manager

Hello, I’m Steele Oliver, the social media manager for BattleBuddy3Gun. I did 3 years in the Marine Corps as an Aviation Ordnance Systems Technician prior to being medically retired due to a back injury. I am a current student at Sonoran Desert Institute and new to the competition shooting world. Since meeting the crew in August of 2022, they can’t get rid of me! After what they have done for me along with others, it’s an honor to be a part of this team and give back. It’s now my goal to show all of you what an amazing impact they have on the shooting community, especially motivating those with disabilities to get out and try it!
