» Watch Brian Zins in action

Brian is best known for two things: his giant grin and being the NRA's 10-time National Pistol Champ. He's not afraid to boast that no one has ever been a seven-, eight- or nine-time champ either. Brian became a shooter for the Marine Corps pistol team and hasn't stopped competitive shooting since. Having set numerous national records in the NRA, it's no surprise that Brian loves the challenge of a good competition. Recently retired from the Marine Corps and now an independent security contractor, he is excited to be competing as a civilian. He believes that he has the skills to go pro and wants the opportunity to prove it.
