(Accokeek, MD) Beretta is excited to announce the addition of accomplished competitive shooter Jessica Hook as its newest Team Beretta member. Hook has been competing in the action shooting sports for eight years and is a ladies’ champion in various 3Gun, PCC (Pistol Caliber Carbine), and Rifle/Carbine competitions.
Hook is also an NRA Certified Pistol Instructor and holds credentials as a Master Class shooter in the PCC Division and PCC Optics Divisions of USPSA and the Steel Challenge, respectively. As a talented competitor, she has amassed numerous podium honors during her career, including a ladies’ second-place podium honor at the 2019 USPSA National Championship - PCC Division, a ladies’ third-place podium honor at the 2018 USPSA National Championship - PCC Division, multiple first and second-place podium honors in regional competitions during the 2018-2019 seasons, and a ladies’ champion podium honor in the Bay Area Rifle Championship for three years in a row.
"Over the past two years and for the first time in its history, Beretta decided to develop a ‘born to win’ pistol, the 92X Performance, together with some of the best shooters in the world. This pistol, designed by shooters for shooters, is the reason why Beretta has a team of over 14 shooters at different levels, and we keep expanding our presence continuously by having our boots on the ground. We are glad to announce that Jessica Hook has joined the US Beretta Shooting Team for the next four years. Jessica is a great shooter, and we look forward to expanding our product range into many other divisions,” Nicola Lorenzi, Tactical Business Development Manager, said.
Hook will join a growing Beretta pistol team established last year by signing JJ Racaza as a Team Beretta competitive shooter and ambassador. Racaza is a three-time winner of Speed Shooting WCH, a five-time National Champion (IPSC and USPSA combined), and a silver medalist at the 2011, 2014, and 2017 IPSC Handgun World Shoot (twice in the Open division and once in the Production). Beretta looks forward to further expanding the pistol division of Team Beretta in the next few years and working with these renowned competitors to develop new and innovative products that offer shooters worldwide the best experience on the range.
