They had to suspend shooting for a short while because of the weather...
Michael Diamond of Australia is ahead with 75.

Nice shot of the thumb to nose distance.

David Kostelecky of the Czech Republic, Gold medalist in 2008, is two back with a 73



It appears that a small red fiberoptic bead is popular

I can't tell for sure but it looks like Mr. Diamond might be using the thumb on his forehand to block his left eye from seeing the bead/muzzle. I do that with my double when I shoot trap. If he is it is the first time I have ever seen anyone do it with an over and under.



I am glad to be here.

Click on the second link Mike and you'll see a much larger pic of Derek Burnett of Ireland - note the muffs smile

Why no shooters from the US competing? Do you have to "qualify" like track and field where you meet a certain standard during the year? I can't imagine nobody tried out for the team.

Go to the first link and click on the little + marks by the names of the competitors. Interesting the age of the Olympic trapshooters. These ain't no spring chickens.

GW, no USA shooters earned a qualifying spot in singles trap for 2012. End of story.

Please refresh us on the rules here for Olympic trap:
Gun down? delayed pull? yardage(meters)?
