Jesus this guy is a machine. Bob Munden was as well but watching Jerry bang off six shots out of a revolver, only HEARING 3 shots, and having him reload and recommence firing before I can even think about the words magazine change....it’s just stupid fast. . Folks like this are amazing at what they do no matter what their discipline is.
I know this isn’t exactly NEW INFO it’s just I happen to watch old Jerry do a little “Here we go!” And it always boggles my mind.

He shoots well, obviously, but his shooting doesn’t impress as much as his reloads. Even given the short fat .45s in the moon clips his reloads are literally faster than video game reloads. It’s kinda mind boggling.

Friend of friend visited him at his shop a few years ago. He said Jerry took out an unloaded S&W 686 (custom tuned I’m sure) and pulled the trigger repeatedly for close to 30 minutes while they talked. I can’t get anywhere near that.

Jerry's S&W's are custom tuned with HEAVIER springs to reset the trigger faster so the gun can keep up with him. Think about that a little...

I saw a 30 minute show about Jerry where he was working to establish a world record of some sort with an AR15. It turned out he had to rework the gun some because "it wouldn't shoot fast enough" and after he worked it over, it would.
Hell I would do that in a hot second. He’d be getting a cup of coffee right about the time I was picking up the speed loader I launched 20 feet into the dirt in my frenzy of uncoordinated motions. It would be epic.

I have heard runners talk about fast twitch muscles slow down with age and it looks like he's fairly mature in that video.
That's some mighty fast communications between his brain and his finger along with everything else.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
