    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.

        It’s not about who comes first it’s about how you use it 2.8Mkm² vs 23.5Mkm².

        P.s. yes, mega kilometers squared is not a unit anyone is comfortable with

        P.p.s no, the irony is not lost on me

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

    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.

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