Bear in FairbanksRe: Emmons wins 50m shoot. gold at Athens
Here's the update however. I don't know if it was the same match or not but he had a gold locked up. On his last shot, he shot the wrong target. Alas, NO gold. Very sad indeed. I think I understand how that could be done, however. When shooting BP cartridge competition in Raton, I shot & hit a 500 meter ram out of sequence. I'd say that anyone shooting BP competition has done it. Still, I really feel for him. Bear in Fairbanks

Erik FrymanBear,
Not the same match. He got the gold in the 50m prone a couple of days ago.
I watched the last match where he shot on the wrong target. He had been creeping up on the Chinese guy and passed him on shot 7 and was in first place. All he needed to do was just hit the target on his last shot. At least he has the one gold medal.

Thanks for the correction. I was hoping he had at least 1 locked up but didn't know. Still sad tho. Bear in Fbks.
