USA World Cup 2003 - Ft. Benning, Georgia

Franck Du Moulin (France) - Air Pistol: At the time of this video, Franck was ranked #2 in the world. I was surprised to see that he also shoots Olympic Rapid Fire, which is an unusual pairing with air pistol.

Bill Demarest (USA) & Mick Gault (GBR) - Air Pistol: Believe it or not, the day before, I ran into Mick in the Columbus (Ft. Benning) KMart and helped him find the white sweatband which he is wearing in the video. I'm such a helpful guy!

Roberto Di Donna (Italy) and Ragnar Skanaker (Sweden) - Air Pistol: Roberto is on the left and Ragnar is on the right. Di Donna has several World Cup Championship gold medals to his credit. Skanaker is a living legend in the shooting world, whom many shooters (including Di Donna) list as an influence.

Mikhail Nestruev (Russia) - Air Pistol : Initially a rifle shooter, Nestruev switched to pistol. At the time of the video, he was ranked #1 in Men's Air Pistol by the ISSF despite the claim that he never dryfires.

Women's Air Pistol - Finals' Shot #5 : This video displays an example of finals for an ISSF precision match, specifically the 5th shot. The same format is used for free pistol, air rifle and smallbore rifle. This event was won by Soo Kyeong Ahn (KOR - Gold - Position 1), Lina Wang (CHN - Silver - Position 3) and Gundegmaa Otryad (MGL - Bronze - Position 5). We spoke with Lina and found that she has been shooting for 17 years and is currently training 7 days a week in Beijing.

Avianna Chao (Canada) - Air Pistol: This World Cup was Avie's first international match representing Canada. She made her Minimum Qualifying Score for the Olympics in both Air Pistol and Sport Pistol.
