Austin bought his first traditional recurve in August of 2010. He wanted to be able to shoot a flying duck with a recurve bow (unsuccessful up to this point). In 2011, out of a desire to experience different aspects of archery, he bought his first compound bow. He quickly found himself drawn to competition, and started shooting indoor tournaments with his compound and 3D tournaments with his traditional equipment. Due to his love for recurves, he purchased his first Olympic recurve in 2012. Since that time he alters between Compound, Olympic Recurve, and Traditional Recurve. He can generally be found shooting 3D tournaments with traditional equipment.
In his free time when he is not shooting a bow, Austin is practicing for, preparing for, or shooting in local action pistol competitions. Other interests include Fly Fishing, Hiking, Backpacking, and Camping.

Bryan joined the Easton Salt Lake Archery Center team in May 2026. While he didn’t have much experience with archery before joining the team, working at the center has given him a new appreciation for the sport and the amount of skill, focus, and dedication that goes into it. He especially enjoys getting to see the different styles of archery and watching both new and experienced archers develop their skills.
Outside of work, Bryan has a passion for music. He is a DJ and music producer and enjoys creating music, and working on other creative projects.
