Jim Levack was a veteran of the First World War that, after winning numerous shooting championships, became a member of the U.S. rifle team in 1935 and eventually an exhibition shooter for Winchester. During the period of the 1930s when exhibition shooting was wildly popular, Levack did many of the typical tricks such as shooting the center of a washer with a rifle or throwing a handful of objects in the air and hitting them all before they hit the ground. He created works of art shooting at bullets at targets and also played "golf" with his rifle.
