This is 23-year-old Hancock's second Olympic gold medal in skeet. He has been competing since his teen years.

BTW, Olympic skeet and trap are a lot more difficult than what you might shoot at your local range. Among other handicapping factors, shooters must start from a low ready position, and the bird is launched a random time after the shooter calls "pull."
