Beside competition shooting, Kryuchin is known for his point shooting skills. A video went viral in September 2016 where he teamed up with an orchestra of two singers, a violinist and a keyboardist, and played the Ode To Joy by Beethoven, Old MacDonald Had a Farm and a traditional Russian tune by shooting at pitched steel plates.[2]
