The Best Exhibition Shooters of All Time
by Keith Wood
From the traveling Wild West shows of the 1800s to YouTube, trick shooters have dazzled the public with their feats of marksmanship.
Here's Keith Wood's Short List:
Bob Munden
Jerry Miculek
John "Chief AJ" Huffer
Annie Oakley
(Note) John "Chief AJ" Huffer is the only archer making the short list not with a rifle, shotgun, 6 shooter or compound bow: but with A SLINGSHOT. A slingshot (Sling Bow) that you can own and make history with. Fred Bear, Howard Hill nor Chuck Adams made the list.
Jack LaLanne
Q: Hey Chief AJ why did you set several shooting records?
A: Because I used to hitch-hike from the USMC base at Barstow, CA down the Muscle Beach, San Monica, CA to work out with Jack LaLanne. Here's the records that Jack set:
1954 Age 40: Swam the length of the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge underwater with 140 pounds of equipment, including two air tanks… an undisputed world record.
1955 Age 41: Swam, handcuffed, from Alcatraz to Fisherman’s Wharf in
San Francisco, CA.
1956 Age 42: Set a world record of 1,033 pushups in 23 minutes on “You Asked for It, a TV Show with Art Baker.
1957 Age 43: Swam the treacherous Golden Gate Channel, towing a 2,500-pound cabin cruiser. This involved fighting the cold, swift ocean currents that made the 1 mile swim a 6 ½ mile test of strength and endurance.

1959 Age 45: Completed 1,000 pushups and 1,000 chin-ups in 1 hours and 22
