Re: Texas native wins Olympic gold in double trap

I'm pretty sure it's international trap, which is more difficult than American. You start with the shotgun at low ready, and there's a delay after you call pull.

190 is the record for the Olympics.

Re: Texas native wins Olympic gold in double trap

They have pistol and rifle competitions. I don't know exactly what they are because I don't care.
