A Nation of Sharpshooters once again.

Was gonna use Rifleman but that didn't quite work.

I think her folks, her home town and all of America should be very proud of that young lady.

Now if we can just teach her to cross country ski, we might have a biathlon skier who can shoot. Having been invited to officiate at a couple biathlon events, I was embarrassed by their shooting skills. If only I was 40 years younger. It is truly embarrassing for the USA to be beaten by the French in biathlon.

Congratulations to Jamie!

So true!

But still if things got rough they would drop them in favor of white flags whilst others stood their ground.

Not a word on the local nightly news concerning any shooting sports. Go figure.

The amount of time and effort it took to earn that medal is amazing.

Nice to see the American shooting team doing well.

Maybe we can get bullet casting and shooting into the Olympics?

I wish it were politically correct (and It should be) to show the shooting events. I would love to see them.
