Lanny Barnes
Three-time Olympian in the sport of Biathlon, Lanny & her twin sister, Tracy competed in several Olympics together before both made history. Inspiring the world, Tracy selflessly gave Lanny her spot on the Sochi, Russia 2014 Olympic team after Lanny fell ill during the final trials and wasn’t able to complete all the races.
Lanny is now competing in 3-Gun, PCC, and IPSC Shotgun and Rifle competitions with the goal of becoming the best female shooter in the country. Lanny is also teaching courses to military, law enforcement and competitive shooters on how to shoot with an elevated heart rate and under stress. She is also the instructor for Babes with Bullets.
Otherwise known as “The Olympian Project,” the firearms training school that Lanny and her sister started together is called T.O.P. Shooting Institute. After developing the skills necessary to shoot while under extreme physical and mental stress for the past fifteen years, they wanted to share these unique skills and what they have learned with others.
Lanny has also been a professional artist since 2000 (The Olympian Artist). She also spends a majority of her free time traveling around to schools, 4-H clubs, Boys & Girls Clubs, Boys & Girls Scouts, etc. encouraging young people to set goals, lead a healthy active lifestyle and follow their dreams.
