Koby Holland (born September 24, 1974, in Dillon, Montana) is an American sport shooter.[1] He has competed for Team USA in running target shooting at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and has won a bronze medal at the 2001 Championship of the Americas tournament in Fort Benning, Georgia.[2] A resident athlete of the United States Olympic Training Center, Holland trains under Belarusian-born coach Sergey Luzov for the America's national running target team.[3]

Holland qualified for the U.S. shooting team in the men's 10 m running target at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. He occupied one of the top two berths to join with fellow marksman and three-time Olympian Adam Saathoff at the national trials, having registered a minimum qualifying standard of 566.[3] [4] [5] Virtually unknown to the world scene, Holland showed off his best to shoot 281 on the slow-target portion and a lowly 270 in the fast-moving round throughout the series, shutting out the final to a distant eighteenth with a total score of 551 points.[6]
