Vince Hancock's Gold-Medal Shotgun

Thursday August 28, 2008
Perhaps you're wondering what kind of shootin' iron Vincent Hancock used when he won the Gold medal in Men's Skeet at the 2008 Olympics. Well, it turns out that (according to USA Shooting), he uses a Beretta DT 10 Trident, a skeet model with 28" barrels. "He uses it just as it comes out of the box with just a few minor adjustments to the adjustable comb."

So, there ya go! I know of at least one feller who will be happy to learn that tidbit. (He's a reader whose question is what prompted me to find out.)
