BTW, Olympic skeet and trap are a lot more difficult than what you might shoot at your local range. Among other handicapping factors, shooters must start from a low ready position, and the bird is launched a random time after the shooter calls "pull."

I hope he does stay with the sport. . . he's a great ambassador.

Re: American wins Olympic skeet gold

"In two seperate instances, Americans were observed here in England stealing gold with deadly firearms. Both are know to be repeat offenders!!!"
Oh well (at least that is WHAT THEY WANTED TO SAY)
