“It was a great experience and the Austrian people were excellent hosts. As far as my performance went, I have plenty of room for improvement, but earning several medals while shooting against many Paralym- pians is a milestone I will not soon forget.” –JOHN JOSS
“I am so thankful to have had this opportunity to travel to Austria for my fi rst International shooting competition. I was nervous about the new ISSF rules at fi rst, however, I found this new format works to my advantage. The most amazing part of my trip was hearing the National Anthem play and watching our country’s fl ag being raised while I received each of my fi ve gold medals.” –MCKENNA DAHL
