I just got around to listening to the Cheaper Than Dirt interview with Jay Lim, the somewhat notorious Top Shot competitor who went really far despite not owning a gun until the last year.
That statement of his was a bit disingenuous, since he had competed at a high level in air pistol competition before, and he had shot firearms before.
I knew he was a versatile athlete, since he was working as a golf coach and had shot at a high level in air pistol and archery. I didn’t realize he had also competed in college as a high-jumper, played trumpet, and raced motorcycles.
In his own words, he collects skills. Maybe he should give jiu-jitsu a try…
That’s correct. The editors simply make information available to support a made for TV cast. They loved the amateur shooter angle and played down the Olympic Archery background :) Thanks for watching the show.
