US shooters are used to moving targets in schools or seated targets in movie theaters.

The need the screaming in the background.

I wonder if anyone has edited screaming back in.

Made it into some academic discourse:

to be fair, americans aren't known for their sharpshooting.

Took the invention of the repeating rifle to win the west.

Which movie was it (maybe naked gun?) where it's a 5 minute hallway shootout and none of the cops could hit anything.

To be fair, the utter ruins of our public education system we traded for capitalist tax cuts ensures Americans aren't known for our sharp anything.

Mongolians are mainly known for their horsemanship rather than their marksmanship. They are probably the best marksman on horseback that have ever lived, but as far as historically being known for their archery.....that's the Koreans, and they're still pretty dominant in the Olympics.

That may be too confusing, you're just going to end up with a bunch of magic casters on horseback.

[-] RandomStickman@kbin.run 51 points 1 year ago

Just get the Mongolians on a horse

India with less medals than north korea

[-] rustyfish@lemmy.world 47 points 1 year ago

Only if “tech tutorials” were a thing in the Olympics. I swear the gold medal would never go somewhere else.

Having worked for Comcast, I can also say they'd win gold in the "most coders jammed into a one-person office" competition.

Except that in men's skeet shooting qualifiers right now the US's 2 shooters are leading with spots 1 and 2 with a perfect score and a 124/125.

At least the Turks got one. The Koreans are preparing their S class rankers for when the gate opens or some shit.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

The men's skeet shooting finals ended up in a shoot-off to determine gold and silver - both Americans.

Most US poular shooting sports (IDPA, 5-gun, etc) aren't represented in the Olympics, with the exception of skeet shooting.

The US has taken home a gold medal in skeet shooting for 5 Olympics in a row.
