Emmons Claims Second Bronze Medal at World Cup Final

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (October 9, 2016)
Matt Emmons picked up his second bronze medal of the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup in Bologna, Italy when he finished in third place today in the Men’s Three-Position Rifle event.

Emmons, the defending World Cup Final title holder in the event, qualified for the Final with the highest score (1176-72x). Fighting through challenging dark and windy conditions throughout the Final, Emmons trailed early, moving only as high as third place after his ninth shot. Though he was unable to catch eventual gold medalist Sergey Kamenskiy of Russia and silver medalist Zicheng Hui of China, Emmons noted on Twitter that although it wasn’t his best Finals performance, he fought hard to earn this second bronze medal of the match.

His U.S. teammate Michael McPhail (U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit/Darlington, Wisconsin) won gold in the event. 2016 Olympic gold medalist Ginny Thrasher (Springfield, Virginia) won bronze in Women’s Air Rifle.
