Maybe we sent the wrong guys to the games. Should have picked from the streets of Chicago and Atlanta

Didn’t we just do this thread? And why would we send less accurate shooters?
If we were serious, we’d put riflery back in elementary and middle school PE

Is the target the size of a hippo ...and do they get 40 shots. I've seen enough videos on TD of shootouts/drivebys where 60!shots fired and every one walks away

When were elementary school students shooting rifles in school?

Shooting a gun while holding it sideways is not a good technique for accuracy

Maybe they weren’t really trying to kill… scared of the consequences

If the competition becomes climbing a tree and sitting in a saddle stand for 6 hours after a night of 6 bourbon high balls and a gallon of chili then shooting a deer and field dressing it yourself tell the Chinamen it’s game on
Shooting an air pistol at paper? They can have that shite

My dad was brought in the night before to go through basic gun safety and then our class spent the next morning shooting. It really broke up some of the boring stuff they made us do there.

I say this every Summer Olympics while the US loves guns we are a nation of plinkers and very few people are interested in precision shooting. I shot 3 position smallbore up through college until I was 23. I shot local, NCAA, national, international, and competed in the trials for the '88 games. Nobody ever had a clue what that was when I told them, still don't.
Shooting 120 shots in 180 minutes just doesn't get American gun enthusiasts interested. No clinking steel targets, no 2-liter Cokes/watermelons exploding and no ballistic gel hits bores the hell out of them. Switch over to something fast and dynamic like USPCA shooting and things change. "We" just don't like precision shooting at a level commensurate with our love of guns.
ETA I should add that the Olympics use small-bore rimfire and air rifle/pistol both are generally snubbed by US gun enthusiasts. We do do better in shotgun events overall.

We usually medal in skeet, don't we?

Skeet and trap are pretty much almost the same except number of stations, right? We didn't medal in trap this year and skeet (mens) starts on Aug 2nd.

lol no. Not at all.
Derrick completely shite the bed for Men’s International trap and Kayle Browning(2020 Silver medalist) didn’t even qualify for 2024 on the women’s side. But we have the Greatest International Skeet shooter ever on the mens side and both of the girls for I-skeet are solid. Should be three medals(two Gold) coming for Men’s and Mixed teams. The women’s side is a toss up but I’d expect Austen to medal
