Speed, accuracy, and total mastery of their firearms make these champion marksmen (and markswoman) the fastest in the world. These shooters are capable of pushing body and gun to their greatest limits, and always look good doing it.
They’re a bit like Shaolin monks, except their martial art includes expelling 18 bullet-shaped pieces of lead in under five seconds.

Five-time World Speed Shooting Champion and Team SIG SAUER captain, Max Michel is a top-tier shooter and renowned instructor.
2. Spencer “Lead Dispencer” Hoglund
Cowboy Action Shooting champion and world record holder, it’s not hard to see how Spencer Hoglund got his nickname.

7. Jerry Miculek
Of course, any list of speed shooters is required to include living legend Jerry Miculek.
Jerry has since moved onto other things, such as speed shooting this Barrett M107.
This list is far from being conclusive. Who are your favorite speed shooters?
