Fiocchi of America’s Pro Shooting Team member Lanny Barnes was crowned the NRA World Shooting Lady Champion at the 2025 NRA World Shooting Championships held at Camp Atterbury in Edinburg, Indiana. Competing against an elite field of multi-discipline marksmen, Lanny not only secured the High Lady title but also placed an impressive 14th overall, underscoring her unmatched versatility and mastery across a wide range of shooting disciplines.
"This match is incredibly challenging because you have to shoot 12 different shooting disciplines from precision to run & gun to sporting clays as well as rifles, pistols and shotguns all with match provided equipment that might be completely foreign to you,” said Lanny. “The goal of the match is to find the best all-around shooter. Someone who can shoot any discipline and pick up any firearm and just run with it. I was so incredibly happy to be able to defend my title again and take home the High Lady World Shooting Championship Title!"
Fiocchi Senior Shooting Sports Manager Holly Hammond said, “We are so proud of Lanny and her success,” noting that the competition encompassed Air pistol, Precision Bullseye Pistol, Cowboy action, PRS Rimfire, USPSA, IDPA, PRS Centerfire, 2-gun, America's Rifle Challenge, Biathlon, Sporting Clays, and FITASC. “There are few competitors that can excel in all platforms,” she said. “Lanny really is one of a kind and we are so proud to have her representing our broad line of ammunition.”
This year’s championships saw competitors demonstrating skills across diverse formats, illustrating the growing trend of versatility in shooting sports. With each passing year, the breadth of challenges in such events becomes more pronounced, demanding that participants be not merely specialists but well-rounded shooters capable of adapting quickly to a range of firearms and shooting scenarios.
