I keep seeing these photos but I have no idea why. Something about the Olympics shooting competition but otherwise I'm clueless
Most of the Olympic shooters use fancy gear like special eyepieces and what not. This guy Yusef Dikec from Turkiye rolled up without all that, stuck one hand in his pocket, shot with both eyes open and took silver along with his partner Sevval Tarhan.
The woman in this picture also has a hand in her pocket as do most other people. Idkw he is getting so much credit for that when almost everyone does that.
I believe it's called swag
Wow turkiye I would have assumed he was American considering we are the ones that are all about guns
Take a look at the "rounds fired" vs "shots hit" and you'll quickly see why "we are the ones all about guns" and not "the ones all about accuracy"
