Sgt. 1st Class Brian Stoa a member of the All-Army Sports Team and Army’s American Skeet Team is currently serving as an Active Guard Reserve (AGR) Recruiter for the U.S. Army Reserves. Growing up in Blooming Prairie, Minnesota Stoa enjoyed hunting, shooting and the outdoors. He soon became avid in shooting competitively in American Trap, American Skeet and Sporting Clays. Back in 2005, taking the job as a U.S. Army Recruiter and having no idea how many opportunities it would soon open for him, he says “I enjoy what I do in the military, and I can’t imagine you’d be able to go up to your civilian boss and say ‘Hey, can I have a week off and you pay me to travel to this tournament, ’” “I mean, that’s just not going to happen.” But that’s exactly what he gets to do each year as he gears up for the Armed Services Skeet Championships and World Skeet Championships. Some of the titles Stoa received in 2019 include Alaska All State Team (Sporting Clays), Oklahoma State Champion (Trap) and Texas State Champion Non-Resident (Trap). Since 2008 he’s won over 163 trophies for the All-Army’s Sports Team and also the National Skeet Shooting Association and says he’s had the most success in Trap Shooting. He also enjoys being a part of Skeet shooting because of it’s historical origination in the U.S. Army during Word War II, “When planes became more prevalent the U.S. Army needed to be able to shoot down those planes to defend their Troops, Ships and Aircraft, ” says Stoa. “They used Skeet as the way to train on hitting a moving target. It’s still a useful tool for training in the present.” On most days Stoa spends hours preparing, mentoring and qualifying future Soldiers through their candidacy process into the U.S. Army. This is not taken lightly by him, as he feels that this nation is always calling out for someone to serve. “Being a part of the U.S. Army Reserve has been the most important decision I’ve ever
