Get rid of the current events
To be honest, current Olympic shooting events are cowardly.
The 10 m air pistol and air rifle events prove little other than who can grab out an x16 handgun and put a bullet in someone from absolute point-blank range.
Wow. All I can come up with in response to this is to quote Sam Clemens

This post is an obvious troll.

Describing a revamp from his Call Of Duty experience, is a troll, or it's indicating that this person should never approach a firearm and needs psychic medication.

But that's the most 'Murican way i'd imagine a shooting event xD

Alex Mitchell is a well respected, 78 year-old political journo here in Oz. I don’t know why he wrote the piece but I’d say he had his tongue firmly planted in his cheek.

I am making the assumption that it is the same Alex Mitchell.
