An avid outdoor enthusiast, Dave has a long history with competition. As a kid learning how to shoot at the range with his Dad, he participated in the local Combat League and 3D Archery. Regardless of the weaponry, his desire to be the best consistently comes shines through. He has hunted large game such as whitetail deer, elk, and bear. A longtime member of the Beaver Valley Rifle & Pistol Club he volunteers as a safety officer for the IDPA tier one matches. He also has served as safety officer for West Virginia State Championship and Pennsylvania “Rust Belt” Regional events.

Jimmy Woodford

Bio Expand

Jimmy has been a competitor all of his life. He grew up racing dirt bikes off-road in the GNCC’s and AMA National Harescrambels, and has 2 National Championships.  Along with the racing Jimmy, his brother, and father were avid hunters and took part in as many shooting sports as they could.

In 2013 a few friends talked Jimmy into coming to an IDPA match and he won the SSP division and was hooked.

In 2014 Jimmy attended his first major IDPA event The Ohio State match, taking 6th in SSP marksman.

2015-2016 he worked hard and honed his skills and won some local events. In 2016 he also found a new shooting sport 3 Gun.

2017 was a year of coming out. With multiple wins in IDPA and 3 gun at local events to winning the Rust Belt in SSP marksman, and getting a match bump to expert, and also placing 3rd in the Northeast Ohio 3 Gun Head to Head Shoot off.

2018 is going to be an exciting year for shooting especially with some new found support from sponsors like Steel Valley Casting. Jimmy has a long list of Major matches lined up for 3 gun, and is also shooting as many IDPA matches as he can including the PA State Championship Rust Belt.
