Olympic air rifle is done using competition grade pellet rifles. To use one accurately is rather difficult. The bullseye on an olympic air rifle target is the size of the period at the end of this sentence.
Plus, it is a rather unglamorous sport (skeet is cool, airguns not so much), I imagine it gets less funding than, say, gymnastics, and of course America has lost its shooting heritage.
All adds up to us not winning.
Shotgun / skeet in about 20 minutes. We have Kim who is going for it again, 5th time. One hell of a shooter. She shoots double trap Aug5th
I was not aware of that.
