Tony Holmes

I started competing in 1974 at the age of 13 in NRA High power, Small bore Rifle & later PPC with my Father who was a police officer. My first match outside a local event was in 1983 at Second Chance Bowling Pin Shoot. Now years later, I attend many matches throughout the year and around the country shooting a wide variety of disciplines. Shooting or hunting is something I could talk about or do 24/7. I live, breathe, eat and sleep all aspects of shooting & now I'm living my dream.

Throughout my shooting career I have proven myself as a top competitor in variety of shooting disciplines, be it pistol, rifle & or shotgun. My ability to excel in these variety of disciplines ensures my sponsors high profile exposure and press coverage for their products.

I work full time for Evonik Degussa Industries as a Senior Operator, which is a Chemical Specialty Company. Training does not come often being that I work 60 hours a week & family time. So, most of my practice these days comes a day or two before I leave for a match. This is mostly sighting in & checking my equipment & ammo. Preparation of my equipment is something I always make sure of, it will make for a long match if it's not ready to go to work.
