USA Shooting Team Member, Lindsey Hollin is a 2006 graduate of the University of Missouri where she was a member of the University's Shooting Team.

A life-long shooter and hunter, Lindsey has distinguished herself in the field of competitive shotgun shooting. During her college career she amassed a long and impressive list of Titles and Championships.

In 2006 alone she won the following titles: Medalist in International Skeet, Bronze Medalist in International Trap, Combined International Events Champion, Combined Trap Champion, the only female named to the All American First Team and the 2006 Ladies Collegiate National Champion!

Lindsey has been a member of the USA Shooting Team since 2004. Her goal is to win a place on the USA Olympic Shooting Team that will compete in Beijing, China during the 2008 Summer Olympics. Unlike their competition, members of the USA Shooting Team depend on private donations to fund their training, ammunition and travel expenses.

There are many different shooting events and many shooters training for each event, each hoping to earn a place on the USA Olympic Shooting Team. By the time that private donations to the USA Shooting Team are distributed between the various shooting events, and then divided among the shooters training for those events, the amount that each individual receives is not sufficient to pay for the practice ammunition, personal coaching, travel expenses, entry fees and related costs of participation in national and international competitions that are necessary to prepare them to compete successfully in the Olympics.

Shooters from other countries receive full-time government support which covers their training expenses as well as living expenses while they prepare to represent their countries at the Olympics. USA shooters receive no governmental support and must support themselves financially while they dedicate themselves to training for the Olympics.

The Low Country Chapter is participating in the USA Shooting Team "Adopt A Shooter" program, and we have adopted Lindsey. She was introduced at the Annual Fundraiser where she met our Members and Guests and spoke to us about her Olympic ambitions.

Each USA Shooting Team Member has a personal Trust Fund that is administered by the Team. Funds are only disbursed from the Trust to cover training and competition expenses, not personal living expenses.

We hope that you will make a generous donation to Lindsey's Trust Fund and help her in her quest to earn a spot on the the 2008 Olympic Team. Imagine how proud we would all be to see her on an Olympic podium in Beijing receiving a Medal for the United States, and knowing that we played a small role in helping her get there!

Social Hall Skeet and Sporting Clays Shoot!

There was a second opportunity to meet Lindsey. On Sunday, February 11th, Jim McLain hosted a skeet and trap shoot at Social Hall plantation in the ACE Basin. For an admission fee of $100 per person Chapter Members and their guests were able to shoot skeet and trap with Lindsey and watch as she demonstrated her skill with a shotgun. She offered advice and personal instruction to each shooter during the day's shooting. Food and beverages were provided and everyone had a wonderful time. It was a great day of shooting and camaraderie during which shooters had the rare opportunity to be coached by two very talented instructors.

Dan Schindler, a world class shotgun shooting instructor was also on hand to coach shooters on the skeet and sporting clays ranges. Dan very kindly donated his services to help Lindsey raise funds to assist her in her quest for an Olympic Medal!

About USA Shooting

Monday, 05 February 2007

Before 1979, a year-round U.S. Shooting Team did not exist. Athletes trained independently and met once a year to try out for major events such as the Olympics and World Championships. once the match was over the team disbanded until the following year.

Spurred on by the Amateur Sports Act of 1978, the national governing body for shooting at the time mandated the establishment of National Teams and National Development Teams, a national coaching staff, year-round training programs, and a main training site for Olympic shooting sports.

USA Shooting, a 501c3 non-profit corporation, was chartered by the United States Olympic Committee as the National Governing Body for the sport of shooting in April 1995. It is USA Shooting's mission to prepare American athletes to win Olympic medals, promote the shooting sports throughout the U.S., and govern the conduct of international shooting in the country. The organization implements and manages development programs and sanctions events at the local, state, regional, and national levels.

USA Shooting is headquartered at the Olympic Training Center (OTC) in Colorado Springs, Colo. The Olympic Shooting Center was built in 1985 and is used for elite and resident athlete training, competitions, national championships, coaching seminars, camps, committee meetings and local clubs. Approximately 25 resident and day-use athletes train at the OTC during the year.

The Shooting Center is the largest indoor shooting facility in the Western Hemisphere and the third largest in the world. Three separate ranges provide 29 firing points from 50 meters and 73 firing points from 10 meters for training and competitions. It also houses the administration offices, a gunsmith room and locker rooms for resident and visiting athletes.

In addition to the indoor ranges at the OTC, the outdoor ranges at the International Shooting Park are also used by U.S. Shooting Team members. Construction began in 1985 on 102 acres of land leased to the United States Olympic Committee on the edge of the U.S. Army's Fort Carson. Four superimposed international-style skeet and bunker trap fields, shade shelters and a clubhouse have been completed.

The sport of shooting now involves 15 events in which the U.S. has the opportunity to win Olympic medals. It is a sport enjoyed by men and women of various ages. The 2004 National Team is comprised of athletes ranging in age from 15-50. There have been over 90 Olympic medals won by the U.S. since its inception. Out of the top-10 American Olympic medalists of all time, three are shooters, and the sport is ranked third in total U.S. medals won-behind track and field and swimming.
