About me: About me...well, my name is Patrick Flanigan and I am an Xtreme Sport Shooter otherwise known as an exhibition shooter. I travel the world for numerous sponsors such as Winchester/Browning Shotguns, Winchester Ammo, TruGlo, Hidefspecs, Mossy Oak, Do All Outdoors, LaserLyte, White Flyer, Otis Technologies, Bad Boy Buggies etc.. I am constantly trying to evolve and grow the shooting sports in a safe and fun manner. I enjoy all the challenges the outdoor/shooting industry has to offer and I am always looking to do more.
I perform over a hundred live shows a year, have six world records and appear on numerous outdoor television programs. In 2009, I will be hosting "Winchester's Legends", details coming soon! I have also have been titled by numerous outdoor/shooting magazines as the worlds fastest shotgun shooter. I have been documented shooting 12 rounds from a Winchester SX3 in 1.4 sec. Now, thats a fast shotgun!

Hey, I was wondering if you had or have made any kind of instructional videos. I watch your vids and try to recreate your tricks but sometimes it is challenging. I am sure it takes alot of practice because you shoot more rounds a week than i shoot in a year probably...here is a vid of one of my tricks that i learned from you...do you think i am doing it right? My ultimate goal is to become sponsored or become a exhibition shooter like you, Tom Knapp, Tim Bradley....ect.
Patrick I am being good I have beat my drinking problem, I go into the hospital every day and they pump it into my veins and so I don’t have to worry about a breath analyzer. Looking forward to seeing you.
hi i was just wornding where you get your Magazine Extension for your sx3. i got a sx2 and a sx3 i love them both. i was looking on your site but they just dont look like the one u have on your guy.
Hey Patrick, Thanks for the add. For Christmas my parents bought me a SX3 black synthetic. 28" barrel and 3 1/2" chamber. It is my dream gun. I have been wanting one for atleast a year or so. I went snowgoose hunting in southern Iowa (Shenandoah) over Spring Break. I only got 2, but we got down there a bit too late, but I had a blast. My father and I might come and see you in action some time soon. I just bought one of your "Team Flanigan" T-shirts. Everyone is commenting on it at school. I shoot trap for Charles City, Iowa. I recently had a shoot in New Hampton and got first place with a 47 out of 50. Not my best, but it was good enough :D. Well, I'm looking forward to seeing you some time soon. -Cody
Oh, dude your amazing... I have non stop been watching your videos online, Tom Knapp and Herb Parsons as well... I was told that once you start shooting, you cant stop...that is true! Today I shot 2 rounds of trap and 2 rounds of skeet... I need a comb riser pad because my gun jumps to much. Right now i have a bruise and knot on my cheek. I would love to shoot with you but its a long walk to Wisconsin. I live in Michigan.... Do you think you, Tom Knapp, or Tim Bradly will ever shoot in the Mid-Michigan area?
Hey Patrick thank for the add. I am a big fan of you and Tom Knapp. I really want to start getting into the shooting sports more....i shoot my bow Tuesdays and my shotgun Sundays. I was wondering if you could give me some advice on how you got started and tips on shooting, like acquiring the target so fast. Im trying to find sponsors but nothing is showing up...half the places i talk too they dont want nothing to do with me...i guess i will have to contact a reps from different companies
hey man am i really fan of you man how can you that things of the target???? i practive the shotgun sport too if you see my profile you can see that i have a WINCHESTER too but not like yours...........its so cool the WINCHESTER SX3
