Shooting has not only been fun for Phillip Jungman, but it’s also become a big part of his life. Phillip was raised in Caldwell, Texas and got his start with his local 4-H club’s shooting safety classes. He joined the Brazon 4H Sportsman’s Club at the age of eight and started competing in international skeet at the age of 11. Phillip made his first junior national team at 16 and kept climbing.
Upon graduating from Caldwell high in 2013 he attended Texas A&M and Blinn College for 3 .5 years before choosing to join the Army. Phillip is assigned to the US. Army Marksmanship Unit in Ft. Benning Georgia as shooter/instructor. He’s been in the Army for just over three years now.
Since the postponement of the Tokyo Games, Phillip announced he would be spending his off hours giving back to the community as a Little League umpire. Phillip says, “Contrary to what people say, it’s not always about where you’re headed. Giving back to community events is important to me because those same events have shaped me into the competitor I am today.”
