Ok im definately not up on what they do in competitions, but i saw jerry reload a tube in one swoop. what in the heck did he use? was the gun modified?
I watched him shoot in the 2008 IDPA Nationals.he can probably out shoot 99% of the people using 33 rounders in a glock 9mm

In one of the training classes I took, someone refered to him (meant in a very nice way) as a freak of nature to be able to shoot and reload that quickly. We all laughed. If you sit back and think about it, even with practicie most can't do it that quickly. It does take a special tallent hence the comment which was used in fondness.Dr. Rob is correct about the mechanism Jerry uses to reload his shotgun. Most competitors who shoot in Open Division use those products.
This year, I watched Jerry run a couple of stages at the Texas Multigun Nationals. If you think he looks fast on TV, you should see him shoot in real life.
His shooting abilities are downright astounding.
He's also a pretty nice guy.
Yes, that's one way of putting it. There are people who practice a skill until they can do it so fast and so perfectly that most think it is nearly super-human. And then there are a very, very few people who have the perfect combination of physical quirks which -- when they put in those same decades of perfect practice -- will enable them to achieve something which is just out of reach for almost anyone else.If you sit back and think about it, even with practicie most can't do it that quickly.

Jerry fired his 10 rounds (ten pulls of the trigger) in 1.52 seconds. Kris got his 10 rounds (a single trigger pull) off in 1.40 seconds.
Jerry got beat by .12 seconds, but I think he ended-up buying the suppressed AK anyway.
