Tomorrow is a busy day for the Soldiers of AMU. Both 50-meter Free Pistol and Men’s Double Trap compete.

SFC Darryl Szarenski will shoot a .22 caliber pistol at a target 50 meters away with a bull’s-eye under two inches. Szarenski has been working hard and staying focused, so much so that very few people see him here unless it is at the practice range.

So what does SPC Jeff Holguin think his chances are in men’s Double Trap?

Both he and SPC Glenn Eller are very humble about their chances but both say, “I came here to win the Gold Medal”. Both of their fathers are here and couldn’t be more proud of their sons’ dedication. “Coming into the Army is exactly what Glenn needed” said Butch Eller.

They are going to need that dedication to make it to the podium. International Double Trap is no joke! The target is moving 60 mph and is usually seen, targeted, and shot within the first 40 feet of being launched. The clay target is about 4 inches long and 2 inches wide.
