Two-Time All-American Second Team Honoree • Former Idaho State Ladies Sporting Clays Champion
A Return To
The Line.
For Kelli Starr Kennedy of Horseshoe Bend, Idaho, competitive shooting is a passion that has carried across decades, disciplines and different chapters of life.
Kelli competed in sporting clays during the 1990s, earning the title of 1997 Idaho State Ladies Sporting Clays Champion. She later stepped away from shooting while living in Montana and working as a travel nurse in emergency rooms across the country.
Her return to competitive shooting began when Marc Banner invited her to learn trapshooting. Kelli accepted the challenge and discovered a captivating new chapter in the sport.
Now competing in the Lady II division, Kelli brings years of sporting clays experience, a love of trapshooting and a genuine appreciation for the people who make the shooting community special.
From Sporting Clays Champion To The Trap Line. The Passion For Competition Never Left.
