Below is a profile on Andy taken from our Pro Staff page.

Andy Duffy is a long-time fan of Browning and legendary member of the Browning Pro Staff Team. He has been shooting competitively for over 23 years and during that time has been on the NSCA All American Team 17 times, Team USA 20 times representing the United States in 13 different countries and has over 150,000 lifetime targets.

Andy has the distinction of being the only shooter to claim the NSCA National Championship title 3 times winning it first in 1994 then successfully defending the title in 1995 and claiming it again in 2002. In 2005 Andy was honored by being inducted into the NSCA Hall of Fame.

Andy is still a threat everywhere he shoots, recently placing fifth at the Freedom Cup held at Caythorne Lodge. He was one target out of first place in the 2010 North American Grand Prix FITASC event also held at Claythorne Lodge.

Jeremy Pearce summed up Andy's shooting and teaching abilities in a Sports Afield article writing:

 "If you want to understand the universe, go to Stephen Hawking. But if you want to learn about swinging a shotgun, call on Andy Duffy. A man chest-deep in national and international shooting titles, Duffy is also recognized as a superb teacher."
