About Jess Mauro

Jess is an Arizona-based influencer, competitive pistol shooter, and Team Beretta athlete.
She got into shooting sports during COVID after tagging along to a match (initially to take photos). She finished dead last in her first competition with limited/borrowed gear but committed fully, using it as a focus amid personal losses (her father, brother, and earlier family members including her stepdad and mom). She rapidly improved, logging many matches early on, and signed with Team Beretta in 2023 (competing primarily with the 92X Performance series in USPSA Carry Optics and related IDPA events).
She has multiple podium finishes (including ladies’ overall titles and strong results at nationals and major matches like Berry’s Steel), trains rigorously (daily dry-fire, live-fire multiple times per week, strength training—gaining significant muscle for recoil control), and has contributed to women’s training gear design. She also hunts (first harvest was a bison with a bow in honor of family), camps, and games (e.g., Call of Duty/Warzone). Her Instagram bio lists athlete status with Team Beretta and a USPSA member number (L5310).
