Texas native wins Olympic gold in double trap

To add to what Jim said, yes, it is international trap, and it's *much* harder than American trap. I saw a piece about it on Shooting USA, when they were profiling the USA Olympic shooters.

Here's a list of some of the differences: http://www.uky.edu/StudentOrgs/TrapandS ... lTrap.html

Thanks for the info (and the link Xander)! I knew there had to be something different. I wish they would show some of these events on TV. It sounds very interesting....

Shooting USA is going to rebroadcast their Olympic special this Wednesday night for those interested.

It's a shame about the 50m rifle competition. Two Olympics in a row now, he's had an easy gold medal coming down to the last shot, then blew it.
