I spent enough time in Rio....got to tell you listening to grenades going off to the tune of
automatic weapons firing really does disturb your sleep. Not enough money in Brazil for me to go back. Sad, lots of good people and a beautiful country that won't or can't do anything about the drugs and crime.

I don't think the people want it any different and the politicians enjoy the supplemental income that comes from the drug trade.
The International Olympic Committee should avoid putting the Olympics in third world venues.

Ginny Thrasher won Gold in 10 Meter Air Rifle. The only gold medal for the USA on day one! She will be shooting again.

And she did a tremendous job beating the Chinese World Champion while setting a new world record. And, not to leave Butch out, she shoots for WVU. Wink

The "10" on a ISSF (and NRA) 10 meter air rifle target is .5 MM, which is substantially thinner than most pencil LEADS, not pencils, just under 2 hundreths of an inch. Amazing.

When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere.

NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR.

I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process.

tu2 They are trying to "evolve" out of political correctness. But what good is that when no one shows up to the Venues and the Athletes have to swim in feces and fear for their lives while going out for dinner?

Well, is it true that Walter is there in Zikaland? I understand that somebody by that name is doing the anatomy bounce measurements for the female beach volley ball competition. I thought it might be our honorable leader on this thread.

What's with the fake robbery and the American athletes ? About as low class as you can get.

Yes, it is interesting that the video seems to be missing the part where the "security guard" allegedly confronted the athletes with a gun.. And all this over a $20.00 bathroom repair. Hmm... coffee
