USA Shooting Shotgunners Roll a Lucky Seven in Acapulco
ACAPULCO, MEX--USA Shooting’s National Shotgun Coach, Bret Erickson, shook his head in near-disbelief as US Skeet shooter Sean McLelland stepped onto the podium to accept his silver medal. Erickson held out his hands—one waving five fingers and the other waving two—and thought to himself, “Seven . . . .”
He was thinking of the seven medals won by US Shooting Team members at the season’s first World Cup. American shotgunners garnered at least one medal in all five events—Women’s Trap, Men’s Trap, Double Trap, Women’s Skeet, and Men’s Skeet—the most individual medals won by an American team at a World Cup in recent memory. McLelland’s silver medal in Men’s Skeet was the last award in an event that spanned six days beginning on March 3rd.
