Shooter Profile: Matthew Boswell

I reside in the beautiful state of Arizona with my wife Laura and our 3 girls. I started out shooting small bore .22 in high school then transitioned and shot for the state of Arizona on the JR. High power team from 2003-2006. Shooting AR-15 A2 rifle’s from 200, 300, 500, 600 yards with iron sights. I was grateful enough to go to nationals in Camp Perry Ohio twice during my time shooting with them.

My first grand entrance into sporting clays was at the 2021 Western Regionals in Arizona. Since then, I was hooked! It has taken me just over 2 years to become a Master class shooter after I really started to get into sporting clays. I started off with a Caesar Guerini Magnus and now have the Invictus III, and absolute wonderful gun in every aspect!
