Reset And Rise To The Unbreakable
Episode 63 : Competitive Shooter Aaron Garvey!
On this edition of Reset and Rise to the Unbreakable With Amanda Moore, we welcome Aaron Garvey to the show! Here's his bio in his own words : Growing up, partying and drinking were normalized as just something people did to have fun. By my teenage years, drinking and drugs had become part of life for me and the crew of individuals I ran with. What started out as fun slowly lowered my expectations for myself, my goals, and my ambitions. Eventually, I dropped out of high school and settled into a life of simply getting through one day at a time. I got married young to my amazing wife to this day, who came from a completely different background. I had hoped that maybe with her different lifestyle, goals and ambitions it would be the fresh start I needed to turn the page and find myself again and rekindle the goals and ambitions I once had. Unfortunately, my lifestyle eventually rubbed off on her, and before long, partying, drinking, and drugs were once again what we did for fun. I have spent most my life as a blue collar worker, and that lifestyle made it easy to keep doing what I had always done. But eventually, I became sick of the person I had become, no real goals, no ambition and no direction. I was simply just living day to day and existing. I tried a couple times over the years to get sober, but never took it to serious and never made the necessary changes I needed to stay on the path to recovery. Just over three years ago I was dealing with a lot of, what I kept hidden depression and resentment towards myself. I did a lot of soul searching and knew the only thing that was probably going to give me a chance of changing the perspective I had of myself was getting sober. I now had the mindset and the will power to take getting sober serious, but still had zero clue of how to fill the void that drugs and alcohol had created. I was just over two months sober, and struggling to stay on track when I bumped into a gentleman who introduced me to the world of precision rifles. I had always had an interest and love for firearms, so naturally I was interested in giving it a look. What started out as an interest turned into a hobby and quickly became the outlet I was searching for to fill the void once consumed by alcohol and drugs. Precision rifles have given me the passion to chase goals and to pursue a better me. Most importantly, precision rifles have become a huge part of finding the person I always imagined being. A person with ambition, goals and a passion to always be a bigger better version of who I was yesterday. Although the precision rifle world started out as a hobby at first, over the last two years I have completely entrenched myself not only into my local shooting community, but into the shooting community worldwide. I have built strong relationships with many of the industry leaders in the sport who have given me a ton of support, and in 2026 I was honored to have had the privilege of joining the Athlon Optics Pro Staff. Although my journey may have just begun, I feel light years ahead of the person I once was! Follow us on Facebook!
