Patrick Flanigan, a member of Team Winchester and a professional Xtreme Sport Shooter, set a new world record by shooting seven hand thrown clay targets in the air from the hip and with one hand before they all hit the ground.
Flanigan used Winchester AA ammunition and the Winchester SX3 “Flani-Gun” to set the record.
“We were filming for a TV show and I wanted to challenge myself to make the impossible happen once again. I thought this would be a great record to capture on camera,” said Flanigan. “My hand and arm were very beat up … I had thrown more than 750 clays and shot more than 3,000 rounds for the show.Physically I was hurting but mentally I was strong and very confident in my abilities and my sponsor's products.”
In addition to setting this new world record, Flanigan holds numerous shooting records:
• Eleven clay targets hand thrown, individually shot, from the shoulder and without assistance.
• Nine clay targets hand thrown, individually shot, from the hip and without assistance.
• Six clay targets hand thrown, individually shot with a pump shotgun, from the hip and without
assistance.
• 12 rounds of AA’s shot in 1.42 seconds with the Winchester SX®3.
