Competitive History
Notable
Jorge competed in Bull Riding for 15 years. He learned from riding the broncos that concentration is vey important. Without it, he was in trouble when he was riding. For rifle competitions, he feels he can use what he learned from the broncos and it helps him focus on his targets. Jorge will be changing the release on his gun before GOG V. He uses a quick release, which he says is good for some competition formats, but he saw what everyone was using at the GOG qualifier in NV, and he knew he had to change.
Quotable
"In an event of this caliber, it's very important to be able to handle the pressure. I can handle it. I have the ability to concentrate and keep my nerves calm. I am also able to react quickly. Since there's no time to react, that's very important as well."
