From First Shots to First Wins: How Lana & Milla Found Confidence in Competitive Shooting

In this episode of the Women Who Hunt podcast, I’m joined by two incredible young shooters who are already making their mark in the world of benchrest competition — sisters Lana and Milla.

At just 16 and 12 years old, these girls are proving that confidence, focus, and determination can take you a long way — even when you’re starting out nervous on the range.

We talk about their first competition (and winning), how they manage nerves under pressure, and what it’s like competing side by side as sisters who genuinely support each other.

This is a conversation about more than just shooting — it’s about patience, resilience, and backing yourself, even when things feel intimidating.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you could give something like this a go… this episode is for you.

In this episode:

• How they got started in shooting

• Managing nerves and building confidence

• Lessons from competition that carry into life

• The power of family support in the outdoors

• Why more girls should give shooting a go
