One of the top competitive shooters in the world is still in high school. Tori Nonaka just took the title of High Junior at the International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) Indoor Nationals in Massachusetts at the end of February 2012.
YouTube user weaponseducation was blown away by the young shooter and her fellow world-class shooter Randi Rogers when he met the two girls at SHOT Show 2012 in Las Vegas. In the following video the girls talk about their initial shooting experiences and why they are on the Glock team.
Original press release issued by Glock on February 28th, 2012:
Team GLOCK maintained its winning 2012 season as Tori Nonaka took the title of High Junior at the IDPA Indoor Nationals held Feb. 23-25, in Springfield, MA. Fellow Team GLOCK teammate Randi Rogers took the title of High Lady Champion.
The IDPA Indoor Nationals is a unique event that challenges shooters with situations in low or no-light, often requiring the use of a handheld flashlight. IDPA events require competitors to use practical handguns and holsters that are truly suitable for self-defense. The main goal of IDPA matches is to test the ability of an individual in “real world” self-defense scenarios, therefore “competition only” pistols are prohibited during the match.
Nonaka took the High Junior title using the G34 Gen3. “I was extremely excited to have won High Junior!” stated Nonaka. “After the world shoot last season, I made the decision to incorporate additional one-handed shooting as part of my training regimen. The increased training has definitely improved my performance.”
Tori Nonaka will compete next at the IDPA Florida State Championship held March 10th-11th. Randi Rogers will compete next in the US Steel Nationals March 28th- April 1st in Titusville, FL.
