Dogon, is it me or my computer? I open the site you pasted and I get to watch the BMW commercial and then the video screen goes blank. Is there something else I am supposed to open? If I can get that site to work, it would be GREAT for all events to see. Thanks and I hope I am having a senior moment.

That is a LOT of trigger time.


750 rounds per day, 7 days a week works out to 273,000 rounds per year. If she can buy shells for $4.50 per box and shoot skeet for $6 per round that works out to $115,000 per year. She is independently wealthy or she has a sponsor somewhere.



I am glad to be here.

Dave, I just waited and the video started after the short BMW commercial. Very good video.

This is an old article but it mentions that Winchester delivers pallets to her and has even developed loads for her.

When I first saw her, she shot a Beretta gas gun (pre 390) 20g. She shot that gun for years.

Don't know if you'ld call him a sponser or a patron,,

If you have an iDevice, you can downlaod the APP and connect the iDevice to your digital TV to watch a myriad of sports.
I watched the Skeet match and 10m Air Pistol that way.
Far better than waiting for NBC TV to show anything when it wants.
Ms Rhode is great, have been watching her for a number of years.
Shw could probably win with an 870!-Dick

Good for Kim, she makes me so proud I could just s--t. Maybe when it's all over, Jay Leno will have her on his show, since she is a "gear head" in addition to being a shooter. We could get a sponsor also,if we could shoot like she can. I suspect that in the long run,she brings more to the sponsors than they pay out. Again, good for you Kim!

It is quite common for US Team members to get help with expenses if they are not also military team members. When a shooter is made a member of the US Team, sometimes a gun company will make a concession on the price of a gun or guns. Sometimes ammo companies will ship ammunition to the shooter. There is nothing unusual about this. It's been going on forever.
