This approach allows athletes and coaches to refine their skills and master advanced visual, mental, and physical techniques, helping them excel in the pursuit of success in shooting sports.
"Medals are earned during training. Competition is just where you pick them up" - Larry Brandmeyer.
We ask all our athletes and coaches to proudly represent the academy by living the HITS core values.
Many athletes and coaches limit their potential by focusing solely on live-fire training without a clear strategy for improvement. Additionally, many only prepare for ideal conditions, which are rare in competitive shooting. This narrow approach often leads to slow progress, frustration, and inconsistent performance.
Studies show that athletes who dedicate at least 50% of their training time to skill development beyond live fire experience 50% faster progression than those who focus only on shooting. At BSA, we call this the "50/50 Principle", which serves as the foundation of our training methodology.
We also emphasize honest self-assessment—athletes and coaches must accurately evaluate their current capabilities to maximize growth. The BSA Performance Profile plays a key role in this process, allowing us to track progress and tailor training plans accordingly. Each customized plan follows the principle of periodization, guiding athletes from mastering fundamentals to training with purpose and ultimately developing the multi-dimensional skills and work ethic needed for high-level success.
By embracing structured, intentional training, athletes move beyond just breaking targets—they build sustainable excellence in all areas of the sport.
Your journey with BSA doesn’t end when your training class or one-on-one session does. We provide ongoing opportunities to stay engaged, continue learning, and refine your skills long after your session is complete.
BSA also maintains strong relationships with key organizations such as ISSF, USAS, NSSA, NSCA, ATA, and SCTP, ensuring our athletes and coaches are well-prepared to compete and excel within each federation’s culture and expectations.
