Hunter Cayll (born 5. February 1995 Lawrenceburg, Tennessee), also known as "Nubs", is an American amateur competitive shooter born with malformations on all four limbs:[1]
- On his left arm, he has Complete Aphalangia,[2] meaning he was born without Phalanges (finger bones) but with Metacarpals (palm bones) and Carpals (wrist bones);
- His single digit is the result of a second toe-to-hand transplantation at a young age.[3]
- On his right arm, he has Partial Hemimelia,[2] meaning he was born without the lower half of the lower arm;
- He also has significant bilateral club foot and unequal leg length; he had surgeries done on him to correct his lower limbs as best as possible.[4]
Hunter first started competing in Multi-Gun,[5] and participated in the Open division at the 2015 IPSC Shotgun World Shoot in Agna, Italy [6] and the 2017 IPSC Rifle World Shoot in Moscow, Russia.
