Jade Savage​

Competitive Shooter

Jade Savage comes from a civilian family and background and didn't grow up around firearms. It wasn't until later in life that situations and circumstances led her to wanting to learn how to shoot a gun to feel capable protecting herself and her loved ones from harm and danger.

​

At the age of 30, she started from the very beginning, learning all the fundamentals of shooting, when she quickly realized that this was going to be something she would fall in love with and a journey that would turn into something lifelong. 

​

Jade is also passionate about health and fitness and feels strongly that training to be physically capable is just as important as learning how to be proficient and capable with a firearm. She believes that the two truly do go hand-in hand.

 

After learning the ins and outs of carrying a firearm for self-protection, Jade decided to dive into competition shooting. Currently, she competes in various pistol matches as well The Tactical Games which involves both pistol and rifle, where she is able to combine her love of both fitness and firearms.

​

Since becoming immersed in the world of firearms - both through personal protection and competition - and feeling a different sense of confidence from the two, Jade aims to set an example for those who did not grow up in this world, who did not have to learn these things for the sake of a career, to let them know that if they are interested in these skills, they can absolutely learn and excel at them. She has a personal mission to break stereotypes and barriers within this industry, fostering a community where women feel confident and empowered to join her on this journey and succeed in a male-dominated industry.
