One of the best events, imo. Strength, endurance, skill, and precision. Under pressure.

Don't matter an American wont make a top 50 its one of the few events we've never had a medal in

Letting them shoot .22 is da ghey
Give them .308 and make it challenging. |

I'd laugh if the US team showed up looking like operators and raped everything with mag dumps

Ban combat training and weapons of war.
No really I love how our national shooting association wants to purge combat elements from shooting sports so I Always say that they need to start with the Biathlon. PS our shooting association advocates stricter gun regulation than the Bradys I kid you not. |

With how much snow and guns we have in this country and we cant even get close to medal that's sad. |

Seems like a royal pita Aguila target, and some higher end manufacturers of precision .22 ammo. It's actually amazing how accurate Winchester Standard Velocity is. As long as the bullet doesn't push the transonic barrier, even relatively low cost ammo punches a single hole at 50yds from a good rifle off a bench rest. Since Air rifles and .22LR is all the Europeans are allowed, they grow up with them and have built some incredibly crazy accurate rifles. The Hammerli airguns with electronic triggers are awesome to shoot, but very far from "affordable". |
