Bruce Piatt

Throughout my shooting career, I have proven myself as a top competitor in a wide range of pistol, rifle, and shotgun events often called the Professional Action Shooting Circuit. Several World and National Championship titles, combined with consistent top finishes in these international shooting events, guarantees my sponsors high profile exposure and press coverage throughout the year.  Unlike other shooters in my category, my ability to excel in multiple shooting disciplines brings my sponsors a broad market base and crossover exposure in each of their respective publications, press coverage, and competitive membership.
