Meet Max Michel from Sig Sauer

Meet Benelli’s 3-Gun Shooting Exhibition Team:  Jansen Jones & Rob Romero.
Jansen Jones.  Nebraska’s Jansen Jones has been competing in pistol competitions since his first IDPA match in college in 2004.  Jones now lives in Georgia and travels all over the United States competing in 3-Gun Competitions.  In 2010 Jones represented the United States at the Pan American Shotgun Championships and took home a Gold Medal in Standard Manual.  In 2011 Jones was the Nordic Tactical Shotgun Champion in Pump Shotgun and was ranked third overall in Heavy Metal.
Rob Romero.  After buying his first handgun in 2005, Rob Romero realized his natural ability and has been competing in pistol competitions since.  In 2007 Romero achieved the highest classification of Grand Master.  After multiple match wins and a Top-10 finish at the U.S. Pistol Nationals Romero transitioned into 3-Gun Competitions and became a top-level competitor.  In 2010 Romero represented the United States at the Pan American Shotgun Championships and in the top three in his class.  In 2011 Romero was the Hornady Divisional Champion in Heavy Metal.

Meet Scott Matthews
Scott Matthews.
As the world record holder for shooting 5 clays from behind his back, Scott Matthews is in a league of his own.  In 2010, Matthews was signed by BenelliUSA to become one of Team Benelli’s pro staff members .  However, his entertaining ability go far beyond shooting… his Matthews’ background also includes entertainment in the WWE and TNA. That experience eventually landed him a job as a video game stuntman where he performed stunts for some of the top-selling video games in the industry. Today, Matthew’s other sponsors include Federal Premium Ammunition, Champion Targets, Carlson’s Choke Tubes, and Sure Shot Exploding Targets.  Given his excellent shooting ability and his penchant for entertaining, it was only natural that Matthews gravitated to the challenges of exhibition shooting.
