Uth is wasted on the young
We have the good fortune here in New England to have a 13 year old lad competing with us who has been on the podium from his first match. His name is Tyler Jones and he is indeed an amazing young man. It is truly an honor and pleasure to watch him sit there and shoot with that Ice Water flowing through his veins. I hope he will continue shooting and not get bored with beating up on us. One wonders what he sees that we don't!

Dern!
When the video loaded up and I saw the clay pigeons, I was thinking, "Great, another shotgun demo." Ha ha, wrong. That kid is serious.

I grew up with one of these in my hand, got the knocked off front tooth to prove it. I've shot some birds out of the air.

slingshots and bows and targets, oh my!!
Rufus is clearly shooting a sporter class slingshot. Is there any contact info to get him to 'smith a br slingshot? The paint job must be University of Kentucky blue. The japanese beetle, with no damage to the leaf (TWICE!) was REEEDICULOUS!
The kid is a prodigy. I hope he goes far! He had to have lost a jillion arrows getting this good!
I was at a hunting expo once where there was an exhibition archer, whose name I cannot recall. He was in Guiness for shooting a baby aspirin out of the air with a compound bow. Behind his back. He had been in a bad car wreck, that severly damaged his right shoulder. He was told by the surgeons that he would never shoot a bow again. He told them that he made his living by exhibition archery, and he would too shoot again!
He found that if he took his arm behind his back, he could pull the bow without pain to his shoulder. Presumably he had to reduce the weight of the pull. He practiced diligently. He could shoot balloons tossed into the air at about 10 yards. He worked at it until he could shoot an aspirin tossed up. And then the baby aspirin. He said it would not be the first shot. It took about 30. Well, ok, he still shot a baby aspirin thrown into the air by instinct shooting, pulling the bow behind his back! Then he said the doctors were dead wrong, and proceeded to shoot normally with a shoulder that they said would never be capable of bow shooting again.
Any kind of story like these I find fascinating. I just read, last night, on this web site, a conversation by two men who have both lost a right eye. A third was mentioned with a slick way of using mirrors to see wind flags. They were proving that anything can be done if you want it bad enough.
Dream it, do it!!

Well, yes and no...
IMO EVERY KID is a prodigy! Kids are capable of prodigious performance because they don't "know their limits."
And those like Ed McGivern or any of the Win/Rem/Beretta type exhibition shooters who continue into adulthood just continue to improve. Howard Hill was hitting anything within sight until they laid him away....

Trick shooting requires and ability to close your drop jaws at the shot, before anyone see you.
Pay is not showing the incredulous look on your face before the crowd.
All great shots are doing and unconscious act, it's called practice.
Your pay for a great shot is the questions, "how did you do that"?
