I’d like to see a summer version of biathlon.

Same here, I was a dedicated skeet shooter for a good number of years, but a clays range opened about 6 miles from me so I switched (the skeet range was 50 miles).

International Skeet is a much different animal than American. Sort of like FITASC with repeatable targets. The birds go 65 mph as opposed to 46. It's low gun with a 0-3 second random delay after the bird is called for, and the gun can't move until the target is visible. Shot charge is limited to 24 grams (7/8th ounce)

At 37, Kim is actually quite old to be competitive. But her practice routine keeps her in the game, when she transitioned from Doubles Trap to Skeet she shot 1200 rounds every day until she was dialed in. Good thing she's sponsored by Winchester, just pull up the semi-trailer of AA's.
