Why no Russia Team at ISSF World Cup Ft Benning?

I hope there is not a silly reason but I suspect the outbreak of prion disease in the US capital.

I like that answer. Everything thing else I could think of sounded very stupid.

Too bad they are not coming. This event is near me and I like watching the shooters go through their shot process.

I suspect there may still be three or four other shooters there.

Do you think that low turnout you mention is due to 50 Meter Pistol being dropped from the event?

Ah well, at least parking will be better and I can catch up with my friends who are working at the ranges.

No worries, I was working on my internet kungfu with you:

I think it was page 23 of that book, drawing out your opponent by being thick-headed:
