The purpose of the “Shooter Spotlight” is to help shooters get to know their fellow competitors a little bit better. We cover a wide range of shooters from “Marksman to Master.” This is the 37th interview in the series.
Dan McCabe
Where do you call home?
Braintree Rifle & Pistol Club, Braintree MA, New Range, Lane 8. And it’s actually called my crease.
How long have you been shooting?
12 years
How did you get involved in shooting competitively?
I shot for hours at a time by myself until someone told me I was good
What is a little known fact about yourself that your fellow competitors might not know?
I think it should be acceptable to have birthday cake for dessert on non-birthday occassions. And I bike 500 miles a week and run 80-90 in season. And I apparently enjoy risking my life.
What do you consider your finest shooting achievement?
Shooting 590 3P indoors.
What is your favorite pre-match meal?
Nothing, with a side of water, and possibly a powerbar
What is your favorite post match drink?
Powerade, but only from a vending machine. It’s better if it falls. If I buy it in a store I have to drop it so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential.
Do you have a favorite shooting range?
Tie between the one that goes from the hallway through the dining room into the kitchen, and the one that goes from the back porch across the yard to the shed
Do you have any short term and/or long term goals?
Continuing to stealth train. And national team. And getting my cousin on track for shooting awesomely and having colleges beg for him.
What shooting skill are you currently focusing your energy on?
Air rifle. Also having a thing, like drawing eyes on my side blinders or wearing those bumblebee antennae.
Thanks Dan for sharing a little bit about yourself with the pronematch.com community!
