Dan Lentz

SHOOTER

Dan' dad is the one that started it all by sitting him in his lap with a Remington model 514 single shot .22 rifle with multiple tin cans as targets, learning the value of taking a good shot! Early on in youth, he started honing his rifle skills by shooting apples out of his uncle's trees.                 

Post 9/11 Dan enlisted in the US Army and was assigned to 101st Screaming Eagles. In four years active of active service, he saw two tours in Iraq, 2003-04 and again in 2005-06.  Army awards include the combat infantry badge, expert infantry badge, and the coveted Air Assault Wings to name a few. After leaving the service in 2007 with a skillset of rifle marksmanship, a friend invited Dan to a NRA service rifle competition. From there he learned of the Farquharson Target Rifle class and knew that is where he belonged. His competition accomplishments include 2010 WI State long-range title, 2013 WI State midrange title, and a long-range Regional win. In 2015 at the South West Berger Nationals, he placed 5th and followed up with another 5th place finish at the Sinclair's East Coast Nationals. Dan is now the newest member of the North State X-Men National Rifle Team.
