Interesteing set of photos --- looks like he let Walter work on his gun and I love the way he painted his ear-muffs.



A view from the side...

If Walter was behind the artwork, he'd probably have painted noses on them. Wink

Cool stuff. Hope Saeed's brother does it again!

Not this time --- event is over and his name didn't appear on the list of winners.

Actually Ahmed won in double trap. He will shoot his first round on the 12th, today in Beijing. I see there is a Saeed Al Maktoum shooting in skeet. Must be another relative.

The United States' Glenn Eller won the gold medal in double trap Tuesday, setting two Olympic records and claiming the second medal so far for the U.S. shooting team at the Beijing Olympics. Eller began his day strong, setting a new Olympic record in qualifying for the final with a 145, and continuing his dominance through the final with a total score of 190, also a new Olympic record. Eller, 26, of Katy, Texas, is a three-time Olympian. This is his first Olympic medal. A member of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit, he finished 12th at the Sydney Games and 17th in Athens. The previous Olympic record of 144 was set by Ahmed Almaktoum of the United Arab Emirates at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. Almaktoum and Russell Mark of Australia (Atlanta 1996) were the previous final score record holders with 189.
