"I take comfort in knowing that I'm here because the Lord brought me here and…I'm glad to be able to do offer whatever I can to be able to glorify the Lord in what I do," said Nichols.

"I memorize a lot of Scripture to recite while I'm shooting," she adds. "I carry a little book in my quiver that has Bible verses in it that I memorize as I'm walking back and forth to the target. And sometimes I'll recite them while I'm on the line shooting. It plays a large part."
