David Rush from Idaho has set a new Guinness World Record by hitting a target with chopsticks from 3.9m away—29 times in just one minute.

The record-breaking attempt took place as Rush tried to reclaim his title for the most chopstick target hits in one minute, a title he originally held with 19 hits.

To break the record, Rush had to throw chopsticks so they landed in the gold and red circles of an archery-style target. The challenge was not just about speed, but also about accuracy.

Rush lost the record when another person managed 21 hits, but he came back determined. Using his well-practiced skills, which he called “almost meditative,” Rush beat the record with 29 successful throws.

This is just one of many records for Rush, who is known as the “Record Breaker.” He holds more Guinness World Records at the same time than anyone else in the world.
