John kruger sporting clays
Jon didn't start shooting clay targets competitively until he was 22 years old.!
He is an eight-time U.S. Open champion, the first inductee into his sport’s Hall of Fame, a 23-time All-American, which is even more than Johnny Manziel.
Jon Kruger Performing his Trick Shooting Exhibition, Greenville Gun Club, Greenville, SC. It was about 10 years ago, maybe more, and I remember the tournament.
He has won seven gold medals doing what he does, which is seven more than the U.S. speed skaters won in Russia doing what they do. He doesn’t bitch about the uniform.
I received an email that said this man Jon Kruger, formerly from a small town in Iowa, now from a small town in Colorado, was considered “the Tiger Woods of the shotgun world.”
The guy who wrote the email was from the city, too.
So being considered the Tiger Woods of the shotgun world probably meant more to him — and to me — than the fact Jon Kruger once shot 199 sporting clays in a row, and nobody has ever shot 200. And if you shoot 86 out of 100, or something like that, you are considered a great shooter.
I’m told shooting sporting clays, which come at you like quarry in the wild, is much more difficult than shooting trap
