Past Chairman/President USA Shooting Board/ USA Shooting Federation, ISSF Certified Professional Shotgun Coach, ACUI 6-Time National Champion Coach- UT Southern

“Behind every elite athlete is a coach who knows how to develop excellence, not just chase outcomes. The Brandmeyer Shooting Academy is building those coaches—and shaping the next generation of athletes—through a proven system that blends structure, science, and integrity. Larry Brandmeyer’s ISSF Class B license—a credential held by only a handful of coaches in the U.S. and part of a highly select group worldwide—demonstrates the level of technical and developmental leadership BSA brings to the table.

His track record as the Ankeny Hawks head coach—guiding one of Iowa’s largest and most successful scholastic programs to state and national champions—is clear evidence that BSA is setting a new benchmark for coach and athlete development across the entire shooting sports pipeline.”

"I’ve spent more than two decades as a professional in the clay target shooting sports, working with athletes, coaches, and teams across the United States. While foundational shotgun training is more available today than ever before, there’s still significant room for growth. Too often I see talented athletes and coaches achieve some success only to plateau. Many programs emphasize technical shooting skills but overlook other critical aspects of development. Brandmeyer Shooting Academy fills that gap—helping athletes and coaches break through barriers and reach the next level.

Larry and Nathan bring a proven record of hard work, commitment, and success. They’ve lived what they teach. Their combined experience in coaching, competing, and training at the highest levels offers a unique perspective to elevate your game. What they provide isn’t for everyone—but if you’re ready to invest in yourself and commit to a clearer path toward excellence, give Brandmeyer Shooting Academy a look.”
