Ashley Spurlin

Age: 34
Hometown: Richmond, VA
Occupation: Air Force Special Ops

As a 10-year member of the elite Air Force Unit Special Operations Command, Ashley Spurlin has developed his shooting skills in combat–not competitions. “I’ve had the stress of direct combat as opposed to some people who are just competition shooters.” He recently received a Bronze Star on his last deployment in Afghanistan. A graduate of the Special Forces Halo and SCUBA schools, he is used to adapting to any new weapon system with no prior training. A true and tested warrior, Ashley says he’s quick to avoid people who don’t share his mentality.
