Wade Stuteville was born in Oklahoma in December of 1972 into a family of 6 fathered by a combat veteran, gunsmith, shooter, and hunter. His father built his first rifle, a .22, for him on his fifth birthday and his first high powered bolt action rifle when he was 9. Stuteville was raised shooting, reloading, hunting, trapping, and fishing.
Stuteville married his high school sweetheart, Angie, in 1998 and has two boys ages 4 and 7. When he is not at work in the Fire Protection Industry the family shoots and reloads with him at every opportunity.
Stuteville has worked closely with his good friend and shooting partner, Preston Pritchett, on many design projects since even before the formation of Surgeon Rifles in 2004. He is proud to represent Surgeon Rifles as a sponsored shooter.
Stuteville has been shooting long range tactical matches for over 10 years. These matches require a mix of speed, precision, and tactics with a long range rifle and sometimes with a semi-auto rifle, and even a pistol. He has gained considerable experience from shooting against the best military, law enforcement, and professional long range tactical shooters in the country. Stuteville has won numerous first place titles over the years including: Badlands Tactical Training Facility Sniper Match, Tiger Valley Sniper Match, 3rd Generation Shooters Hunting Match, 3 Mils Right Training Center Match, but the accomplishment he is most proud of is winning both the Sniper’s Hide Cup and Sniper’s Hide Shooter’s Bash Match at Rifles Only in Kingsville, TX in 2010.
