Yarista “Pew Pew” Santiago - Episode 218 of Hunters HD Gold Behind the Lens In this episode of Hunters HD Gold: Behind the Lens, Brian talks with Yarista “Pew Pew” Santiago, whose remarkable journey stretches from a challenging upbringing in Puerto Rico to serving in the U.S. Army and eventually finding a second family in competitive shooting. She recounts joining ROTC in college, commissioning as an officer in Air Defense Artillery, and deploying twice to the Middle East. After transitioning to a supervisory role with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Arista discovered USPSA through a youth program she supervised, initially overcoming a difficult DQ and forging ahead to become both a committed shooter and certified Range Officer. Throughout the conversation, she highlights how the shooting community provides camaraderie and support—especially during her injury recovery—reinforcing the sense of “family” she first experienced in the military.
