Bryan Holtkamp

My name is Bryan Holtkamp. I am 14 years old and a freshman at Okeechobee High School located in South Central Florida. I began shooting at 8 years old with my dad who introduced me to Sporting Clays with a hand thrower. At age 9 I felt that I was good enough to join the best Youth Shooting team in Florida, the Young Guns of Quail Creek. I quickly learned the difference between a hand thrower and a Promatic clay trap machine and realized I had a lot to learn. I was able to work with one of the greats Mike Luongo for a couple of years whose passion for the sport is contagious.

After shooting SCTP Nationals for the first time in 2018 I developed a passion for Sporting Clays and the ambition to further my shooting ability. By the age of 11, my passion for the sport was so great that I wanted to take it to the next level and joined the NSCA, That first trip to SCTP Nationals in 2018 was where I had the privilege to demo all types of Guns. Year after year I would continue to demo all the guns I could, but I found the Kolar Max Lite to be the one for me. The never-ending customer service on and off the grounds from Ohio to Florida was phenomenal and my Kolar Max Lite was purchased in 2021. I shoot trap, skeet, sporting clays, and FITASC but prefer sporting clays and FITASC. I have recently started working on my Trap and Skeet game to further my ability to be competitive in all disciplines.

I currently shoot SCTP with the Young Guns of Quail Creek and have recently stepped into Master Class with the NSCA. Shooting with the NSCA allows me to travel and compete at different clubs and experience a wide variety of targets set by many talented trap setters. Sporting Clays is an ever-changing game that will allow you to feel accomplished one day and defeated the next keeping the drive and passion alive. One of the greatest opportunities I find in all the travel is the pleasure of meeting new people and being able to share my Kolar experience with them. The Privilege to join Team Kolar/Elite Shotguns is an honor and I look forward to representing Kolar and Elite for the 2022 season.
