Team Pro-Shot

(Grand Master Champion & Team Pro-Shot Captain) 

Meet Maximus White. He is 16 years old and happily home schooled. He spends the majority of his time in the great outdoors. I guess you could say that he was born with a gun in his hands! From the moment he was able to hold a real gun he was hooked and hasn't slowed down since. By the age of 4 he was shooting a 22 rifle. At age 5, he was shooting 22 pistols and a 410 shotgun. On his 7th birthday he received his very first AR-15 rifle and he said that it was the best birthday present ever! Since then, he has continued to add new pistols, rifles, and shotguns to his shooting lineup.  

As of March 2018, he began competing in IDPA, USPSA, and Steel Challenge (SCSA). Maximus shot his very first 2 gun match at Low Country IDPA in Georgia in March of 2018 and immediately knew that this is what he wanted to do! He has shot multiple local, state, national, and world matches since then, and  holds multiple state, national, and world titles. He also became the youngest SCSA Grand Master and 4x SCSA Grand Master at the age of 11. He  looks forward to a career in the shooting sports and works every day towards that goal! Maximus is beyond grateful to be a part of Team Pro-Shot Products. He says that he will always do his best to represent the company and the team, and hopes to inspire the next generation of shooters!

Chris Simmons 
23 IPRF World Champion, 21&22 NRL22 National Champion, 22 PRS22 Series Champion

Chris was born and raised in Western North Carolina. I started shooting in 2004 in Smallbore Silhouette and 3 Position Smallbore and Air Rifle. During that time I won 4 National Championships and a Junior Olympic Gold Medal. I slowly transitioned into the PRS style of shooting in 2020 in which since then I've won 2 NRL22X National Championships and a PRS22 National Championship. Most recently winning the IPRF World Rimfire Championship in Italy. I'm very passionate about shooting sports and have been blessed beyond measure in the sport. 

Ben Blevins 

Ben was born and raised in south central Kentucky. Like many young kids in Kentucky I grew up hunting whitetail deer and turkey. I began competitive shooting at the age of 7 competing in local and state 4-h competitions (rifle and archery) where I won numerous state championships. I compete in numerous NCAA style matches shooting standing air rifle and 3 position smallbore matches throughout high school. While competing in rifle matches I was also very active in the archery community winning several state and national titles along with a world championship. Fast forward to 2019 and I competed in my first local NRL22 match and I was hooked. Since 2019 I have competed in numerous regional matches and several nationals championships shooting both Rimfire and centerfire. 2024 I was fortunate enough to win the NRL22 national points championship and was able to podium both NRL22 and PRS Rimfire national championships. I love being part of the precision rifle community and love being able to introduce the sport to new competitors.
