Team Benelli Sharpshooter Tim Bradley


Tim Bradley

Tim Bradley is the newest member of the Team Benelli exhibition shooting crew. Check his calendar below for an amazing show in your area.

Tim Bradley joined the elite ranks of Team Benelli in 2006, becoming an exhibition shooter for Benelli USA. After years of practice—firing thousands upon thousands of rounds, Bradley’s talents were recognized by Tom Knapp, Team Benelli USA’s World Record-holding exhibition shooter. Determination and dedication to perfect his specific shooting skills had paid off for Bradley, who was invited by Benelli’s VP of Marketing & Communications, Stephen McKelvain, to join Team Benelli’s busy exhibition shooting schedule.

Bradley learned to shoot at an early age. While growing up on his family’s farm in northeast Arkansas, he had devoted every spare minute to hunting, trapping and shooting, shooting almost every day and often burning up five or six cases of .22 ammo a year. During his high school years, Bradley became interested in boxing and martial arts, and earned his black belt in karate at the age of 17.

After completing his education, Bradley used the discipline he had learned from martial arts—and his ability to master extreme challenges—to tackle the unique and difficult requirements of becoming as a modern-day bounty hunter. And it was while he was honing his gun-handling skills for the specific demands of rounding up bad guys that his interest in exhibition shooting was sparked. During extensive practice sessions, Bradley used a training method in which, after mastering one challenging shot, he constantly pushed the envelope to master the next, more difficult shot.

Tom Knapp

“I’m very excited to be a part of Team Benelli,” Bradley says, “because this gives me the opportunity to draw on my skills and talents to demonstrate how dynamic and dependable Benelli’s guns really are. We drive these guns much harder than the average shooter ever could. When we pull the trigger, no matter how fast, we know these guns will go bang every time!”

“We’re very pleased to have such a talented shooter among the Benelli ranks,” says McKelvain. “We believe that Bradley showcases Benelli’s many fine shotguns in an exciting and thrilling way. He is a fine ambassador for the shooting sports and an inspiration to young shooters everywhere.”


Tom Knapp

Today, Tim Bradley and world-record holder Tom Knapp make up Benelli’s Super Exhibition Team. The two have been featured on a mini-series on ESPN2 Outdoors. Each two-and-a-half minute show, produced and filmed in-house by Benelli Multimedia, showed a variety of the amazing shooting techniques Bradley uses in Benelli shooting exhibitions.

With the aid of their Benelli shotguns, Tim Bradley and Tom Knapp display their incredible shooting abilities and accomplish some of the most difficult shots ever performed.
