She'll still do way better than the male Korean shooter who didn't even place.

I'll do you one better. Ruger alaskan and 500 rounds of .454. :cool:
I'll see you and raise you a Super Blackhawk in .454!

I like how people who have never won shooting competitions of any kind, even at the local level, are hating on people who are the best in the world at what they do.
Is shooting an airgun under controlled conditions, with the shooter using some creepy eyepiece magnifier device an example of 'shooting' in the traditional sense?

Sorry, but I say no - and is nothing more than a deviation from 'real' guns - and to only maintain a minimal representation of what 'shooting' really IS, or was, in the Olympics.

Here is an explanation of whats going on with the shooting glasses. For what it's worth when I got my recent prescription glasses with out knowing all of this I had the bi-focals set for the front sight distance of a handgun. At the time it made sense to me and the eye doctor and her assistant were both shooters and knew what I wanted. I also have an astigmatism so now the front sight is clear and in focus. I have tried blocking my right eye because I'm left eye dominate but don't care for it. Apparently my brain uses the right eye input more than I thought. Plus using both eyes help with moving and multiple targets.

Some regular folks shoot this way as well....
I shoot that way...and usually catch grief from someone at the range with well meaning but unwanted advice of :
"You know....if you were to use the Weaver stance...."

Yes I know all about the Weaver stance...however I like shooting this way...I am safe this way...and I make good hits this way.
Thank you.
Andy
I hear you. I often shoot, particularly with revolvers, in this manner. No issues with scoring hits. :)
Just got to find a FFL that can order you one up from Lipkeys
Oh my! 😍
 
They keep adding events to keep up with the times, maybe in a few years we'll see "Men complaining that women really don't know how to shoot" as a new opportunity for 'Merica to win gold :s0114:

(this from 4 years ago)

So Olympic events should not be in controlled conditions? That is how you make it a level playing field isn't it? And you've never used a scope for target shooting? I don't see the issue with having a standardized magnifier.

I dont think I've seen anyone from their sport trying to make the argument that their air guns are the same as (real) rim fire or center fire guns. For some reason, some people are trying to take away from their sport or achievements by arguing this point.

I've attached a pic of the target they use. Pretty damn impressive if you ask me. The finalists hit the center dot many times, which is the size of a pin head. On TV, they zoom in so much it doesn't look very impressive.
