This is 23-year-old Hancock's second Olympic gold medal in skeet. He has been competing since his teen years.

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.

And I love seeing our armed forces in competition. . . especially while bearing arms!

and DID YOU SEE how the liberal media reported that the USA won the gold in both women and mens Skeet????

"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)
