Histori

The exhibition shoot has a very long history. Some of the first recorded shooters were Mongol warriors, who would show off their riding skills and shoot them by shooting at the target from the back of the galloping horse.

Famous gunner

Annie Oakley

With the advent of rifling came an accurate firearm, and many of the exhibition shooters turned to this, forming the beginning of the western shooting exhibition. The most famous exhibit shooter is Annie Oakley, who toured with the Wild West Buffalo Bill show. While he can shoot well with pistols, rifles, and rifles, Oakley's preferred firearm is a.22.22. The standard tricks from Oakley include:

• Cut the playing card halfway with a shotgun bullet over a long distance
• Shoot half a cigarette while held by volunteers
• Take a single shot thrown in the air, in the 90-foot range
• Shoot a long series of targets thrown into the air; in one instance he reached 4472 out of 5,000 in one day.

Extraordinary Topperweins

The Fabulous Topperweins , a husband and wife, was an exhibition shooter in the early to mid 20th century. Adolf, or "Ad", started shooting at boys, and held many positions as a professional exhibition shooter. When he married his wife, Elizabeth, who came to be known as "Plinky", he started firing, and soon surpassed her husband's many skills. Together, they worked as professional shooters for Winchester for over 40 years. The usual tricks are Plinky firing a cigarette from Ad's mouth, or snapping a button from his vest. The closing action of an advertisement is to draw an Indian head on a board with a bullet hole. The two Topperweins held aerial shooting, with Ad shooting in over 72,000 hand-to-hand throws of 2Ã,½ inches, and missing only nine - the longest track without miss was 14,540. Plinty's recording, first recorded for a woman who shot aerial targets, comprised 967 of 1,000 clay targets with a semi-automatic 0.22 rifle. Plinky was also the first woman to shoot at the Grand America trap shooting tournament, and she shot 100 straight targets more than 200 times in her career, and 200 targets straight 14 times.

Ed McGivern

Ed McGivern is an exhibit shooter and firearm coach specializing in revolvers. He still holds a number of fast shooting records (a number of which have been challenged, and some broken, by modern IPSC champion Jerry Miculek, Jr..) and is known for shooting air targets. Common tricks include:

• Throw a tin can in the air, and fire six shots through it before touching the ground
• Throw a dime into the air and shoot it
• He hit the cardboard disc and 1 "main disc on the edge that was thrown in the air

Jerry Miculek, Jr., nicknamed "The Greatest Shooter of all Time", is a professional American speed and shooter competition known for his many world records and appearances on TV. Miculek currently holds five official world records in revolver shootings and more than 15 unsecured recordings with firearms ranging from rapid firing pistols to the Barrett M107.50 BMG rifle.

Tom Frye

In 1959, champion Tom Frye of the Remington Arms Company broke Ad Tenperwein airborne record to shoot 2 cubic inches of wood thrown into the air. He managed to reach 100,004 of 100,010 logs - using some semi-automatic Remington Nylon 66 rifles.22 Long Rifles - for 14 days in a row. But although the same target size is used, the comparison with the Topperwein notes is debatable because of the test conditions. First the shooting was done within a distance of less than the 30 ft (9.1 m) rule. Frye's second thrower threw a target block on his shoulders along the pistol's line of sight. Instead the Topperwein thrower stood outside the regulation distance throwing the vertical beams into the air. In 1963, he had a run of 800 clay throwing singles in a trap shooting.

John Huffer

In 1987, at the age of 50, John "Chief AJ" Huffer shot 40,060 square blocks of 2 ½ inches of pine in a row for 8 days without losing a single one, firing the block he threw himself into the air, for 14 hours a day. Huffer did it using a Rifle Ruger 18.22 Rifle Long 10/22, which he used as an assistant to load it for him. Huffer also markets the "Daej BB" rifle of a special brand "Chief AJ", based on a modified model that Huffer uses for daily practice, and instruction manuals and videos for his shooting style.

In 2008, at the age of 70, Huffer set the Guinness World Record for the slingshot, reaching 1,500 flying targets.

Herb Parsons

On a normal light day, do not shoot until you can see the duck's eyes...

Herb Parsons (1908-1959) from Somerville, Tennessee, is "Showman Shooter" Winchester for 30 years and is a donor and successor of Adolph Topperwein. The impressive list of awards includes: All-American Trap and Skeet Shooter; two International Duck Calling Champion and twice; and inducted into the Trapshooting Hall of Fame, the Cody Firearms Museum and the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame. His typical accomplishments were thrown by hand and individually broke seven clay targets with the Winchester Model 12,12 gauge pump shot action. Capable of removing and firing the hull of the Model 61,.22 shotgun, Herb is the camera's behind-the-clock shooter and technical advisor for the 1950 James Stewart Winchester '73 film. Parsons is mentioned by Dr. Mallard in the episode NCIS "Ships in the Night", but Leroy Jethro Gibbs does not know who he is.

Take the last one (duck in a group) to start with... By taking the last one, you keep swinging. If you nail the former, you must return with your snout and start a new swing. For your second shot, take it next to the last and lowest ducks. If you get it, do not worry. Nothing will be much better than doubled.

Bob & amp; Becky Munden

Both were born in 1942. Bob is known as "The Fastest Man with the Ever Living Weapon". The Guinness Book of Records called him "The Fastest Gun Ever Lived." Bob and Becky first performed together at an exhibition in California in 1968 and began a full-time tour in 1969, presenting shooting demonstrations in schools and teaching gun safety.

Bob Munden is renowned worldwide for his remarkable speed from a western type sheath with a standard heavy single action revolver. Seen on television shows like Ripley's Believe it or Not, American Shooter, Shooting USA and Shooting USA's Impossible Shots on Outdoor Channel, and Stan Lee's Superhumans on History Channel. In a typical style of showmanship, Bob performs a unique accuracy and speed demonstration that must be viewed reliably with pistols, rifles and rifles. He has reached the target of up to 600 meters with an open pistol. He divided the playing cards in the air he threw. He has unpinned a bullet fired from 1911.45 off-hand without any damage to the pin.

Becky is a hero sniper in her own right. He is also active in the Quick Draw contest, winning many trophies and degrees quickly. Bob and Becky meet in a quick match. Becky won the Women's Cowboy Action Competition 1986 1986, organized by the SASS or Single Action Shooting Society. Becky's kick was known to have paid honor to Annie Oakley.
