Today I’m joined by one of the brightest young stars in the shooting world, Joe Fanizzi. At just 22 years old, Joe has already accomplished what most shooters dream of in a lifetime. He’s the 2021 NSCA National and Tour Champion, 5x NSCA Regional Champion, 2x Jack Links Cup Champion, 4x Diamond Classic Champion, 2x World Championship Silver Medalist. He has also made 14 NSCA Team USA Teams. He also placed 3rd at the 2025 NSCA National Championship. Joe earned his Masterclass designation at 13 years old.
Growing up on the range in Florida, Joe has become known not only for his consistency behind the gun, but also for his sportsmanship, leadership and as an ambassador for the sport. He’s now pursuing a degree in Construction Science at Texas A&M, all while continuing to compete at the highest levels.
We get into Joe’s unique shooting style, his competitive mindset, and what drives him at the highest level. It’s clear why he stands among the very best.
