JON “TRICKSHOT” WILSON

Since the age of five, Trickshot has been amazing crowds and fans with his unique shooting skills. 

He has received national recognition for winning the Gold Medal in International Skeet at the 1997 U.S. Nationals. 

Trickshot’s skills in “Extreme” hand-eye coordination were demonstrated by winning the 2004 World Thumbing Fast Draw Championship – “the fastest sport in the world.” 

With a keen sense of responsibility to the sport, Trickshot has committed himself to teaching gun handling and safety to both children and adults. 

A machinist by trade, Trickshot has brought his extensive experience in the aerospace industry to the world of extreme outdoor sports and shooting sports. 

He has taken the lead in advancing the sport of Fast Draw as he has become one of the premier fast draw gun builders in the world.
