 | OLYMPIC GAMES WRAP-UP: 2008 U.S. Olympic Team for Shooting Claims Six Medals, Sets Five Olympic Records in Beijing
The U.S. Olympic Team for Shooting turned out an outstanding performance at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China earning six medals to double the medal count from Athens four years ago. Arguably, the most successful showing for the U.S. in the history of the Olympic shooting competition, the U.S. Shooting team brought home two gold, two silver and two bronze medals and set a total of five new Olympic records.
Corey Cogdell (Eagle River, Alaska) won the first medal for the U.S. on August 11 when she took home the bronze in the women’s trap competition. Two-time Olympian and U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit (USAMU) member Glenn Eller (Katy, Texas) kept up the medal winning trend for the shooting team the next day when he claimed his first Olympic medal, earning the gold in men’s double trap.

 | Air Arms Air Pistols Are Now Available
USA Shooting is pleased to announce that the long awaited air pistols from Air Arms are available to all USAS members and are ready to ship. These compressed air pistols are relatively light weight (1.9 lbs) and rear-balanced, with the air cylinder inside the ambidextrous grip. The sights are fully adjustable with a three-sided front sight and two rear sight notch widths. Sight clicks are approximately 3 per scoring ring. The trigger also has several adjustment screws and an adjustable shoe. The accurate barrel is encased in a blue sleeve with integrated compensator and rail guide for an accessory weight (included). Designed as a moderately priced youth pistol, these great features and adjustable weight allow the gun to grow with the athlete.
The introductory price for this first batch of 75 pistols is only $525 (free shipping + handling included). Note that the estimated price for future shipments is estimated as $590.
