Basically, the Olympic coach was pontificating about how great their shooting program is and how the USPSA shooters would need to adapt to the coaches style. After some time of this lecture, the "young gun" asked if the system was so great, where are the medals. He kept asking "where are the medals" "sure like to see the medals" etc. The "young gun" had an attitude and his personality is very colorful. Eventually, the coaches left and said that USPSA shooters don't have the proper attitude work within their system, which didn't break anyone's hearts. Its a funny story when you hear it in person and know the people involved. As for the shaking, the position the Olympic shooters shot in is fairly uncomfortable for guys used to shooting Isoceles.

An Olympic Steel Challenge? Olympic Three Gun? Olympic 1,000 meter? I do think our shotgun makers could step up on sponsoring some touring shooters.

An Olympic Steel Challenge?
