How many shooters realize that the oldest person to win an olympic gold medal was a man shooting small bore competition with iron sights!!!
Oldest medallist?

It is generally believed to be Swedish shooter Oscar Swahn, who won the last of his 6 Olympic medal (a Silver in the Running Deer, Double Shot Team event) on 26 July 1920 at Antwerp. He was 72 years and 280 days old.

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;
