Blaser recently announced that Austin Kiemsteadt is the newest member of Team Blaser.

A resident of Missouri City, Texas, Kiemsteadt is a recent graduate of Texas A&M University, where he competed on the National Championship shooting team for four years. Among his many accomplishments, he is a three-time USA Sporting Clays team member, finished as runner-up at the 2023 NSCA Western Regional, has multiple championship FITASC tour event High Over All wins, finished in fourth place overall in the Main Event at the 2023 NSCA National Championship and is the 2024 ACUI Nationals High Over All Champion.

In addition, Kiemsteadt has been named to several All-American teams over the past seven years.

His shotgun of choice is the Blaser F3 Standard Sporting paired with a 32-inch competition barrel.

“I’m excited to be part of Team Blaser—a great group of people who represent our sport in the best ways possible,” Kiemsteadt said. “And I love how sleek, balanced, and reliable my Blaser F3 is. I can always trust this gun to function at an extremely high level at all times.”

Blaser is ecstatic about the addition of Kiemsteadt to its shooting team.

“We’re happy to have Austin on Team Blaser,” Blaser USA CEO Jason Evans said. “He is not only an extremely talented competitor, but he is also a great ambassador for the sport as a whole.”

Besides his clay shooting pursuits, Kiemsteadt is also an avid hunter.
