"RIO DE JANEIRO — American shooter Ginny Thrasher won the first gold medal of the Rio Olympics, pulling off an upset in the women's 10-meter air rifle event Saturday morning. "

Hurray for our side!!!

Great story. She started shooting only five years ago after she asked to go deer hunting with her grandfather. She is a true talent. She ice skated until the 9th grade when she realized she would never make it to the Olympics ice skating.

NBC has an app for watching all the sports live. It's looking like USA v. So. Korea in Team Archery.

Well, if Hitlery gets in that will be the only gun you will be able to buy!

Her gun looks like something from Star Wars. Bet it's not cheap either.

Some of those start a $3k.
